I'm about to send an email... I'll let you know how it turns out.

So the Dismemberment Plan has, well, dismembered. Or at least they will, very soon, and sooner than they should've says I. The news hit like a punch to be sure. Their passing gave me great pause. During that pause I had something of a vision. 2003 will be a year of many passings. I sense more endings to come this year, along with many beginnings. Things I have loved (and some I haven't) will pass into memory and I will move on. There was a bittersweetness to it, such that I almost dread the year. But I sense no great loss, only closing, like a well-written book.
I just hope I am able to make the most of the beginnings and do justice to what ends.

Excuse me. Apparantly I have the gift of prophecy. It is occasionally a blessing. It is easy to see what led to this sense of passing. This is my last quarter at community college. In the fall I'll be moving for the first time in memory. I will be looking for another new job in the summer, and perhaps training a replacement for my current one. My favorite band has broken up, and I expect that to happen more often now that my tastes have settled down. These things are easy to predict. I do not look forward to them, they hant me nonetheless.

Best wishes in the coming year. May yours bring stability and happiness.
