Spring cleaning in december

I've begun spring cleaning in december.
I'm in brazil, about 80 miles from Rio.
Since we are in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are reversed.
We are having a very hot and sweaty christmas here.

What better time or place to begin your spring cleaning.

Out goes the old so that the new can come in.

I only post stuff that I've already let go.
These issues that I've posted no longer bother me.

But as I looked through some old stuff, I found that I hadn't let go
of some old things and somehow forgotten them altogether without
letting them go.

Which is why I searched my hard disk for all my old stuff.
I labeled these as old posts and after a cursory glance let them go.
I posted them, because it does not matter anymore.


This is my way of letting go of the past.
This is my way of inviting new thoughts and ideas for the coming new year.

I make no new year resolutions, apart from that of letting go of the
past and inviting the new.

This is my spring cleaning in december.

Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year.
(But if you are not feeling particularly merry,happy or gay, and wish
to be morose, then that's fine with me too.
So I wish you a brooding xmas and a glowering new year)

P.s. Our Xmas party is still going strong.
People have roasted a suckling pig and they have butchered many
christmas carols.
Filipinos are either good singers or good drunks, but not both.
(Strangely neither am I)
Karaoke and beer do not mix.
I repeat.
Karaoke and beer do not mix.
Oh, and you cannot sing like Mariah Carey because you are a balding
dude on the wrong side of forty.Come to your senses man!
