Well, in a word, you were - a mess. Not an exceptionally messier year than the one before you, but more like mostly a mess than anything else. You turned out pitfalls like an amusement park ride - as if for fun, that is. In between the falls, you laid out valleys of waiting, watching and over -all nothing that left many days and nights wasted. But still you happened and therefore undeniable. You were a part of our lives - with all your pits and plains. I am sorry to say that I am not sad to see you over. I celebrated your passing pressed between drunken bodies just off the strip of Las Vegas outside Planet Hollywood. I saw your memory got blown up in poofs of lights and sizzles and broken bottles and people screaming theirs heads off with their carnal wishes for the coming year. My wish is that 2013 will be much kinder with more peaks than lows and more moments spent not wishing for another. As the sign at Starbucks put it on my very birthday just few days before 2013 came: I wish of a day with free coffee, sunshine and rainbow. Of course, for a rainbow to appear with the sun, some rain has to fall. And yes, a rain here and there, is welcome too - just no cats and dogs please - had enough of that last year.
