AS THIS COMPLICATED DECADE DRAWS TO AN INEVITABLE CLOSE…
Time, time, time…
See what’s become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
SIMON & GARFUNKEL recorded A HAZY SHADE OF WINTER back in the 60s. Fabulous song. But most days I prefer THE BANGLES version.
Harder edged usually has more resonance for me.
I won’t be sorry to say goodbye to this decade. In the last ten years, I’ve experienced dizzying triumphs, delicious surprises and the most devastating tragedies.
No matter. Beneath all of this charm, elegance and distracting blonde sensuality, there beats the heart of a lion.
Strong willed. Determined. Single minded. Unstoppable.
But it’s all over now.
I’m so grateful to the people that I care about – both on line and off. Your graciousness, decency and good will can never be forgotten.
Thank you to everyone who reads and supports CP. None of this would mean anything if you weren’t here to share it with me.
I’m all out of words.
To the future…
I leave you with DAMIEN RICE and THE BLOWER’S DAUGHTER, which is the song that plays at the beginning and the end of the film CLOSER.
Enjoy your New Years celebrations.
See you in 2010.
