new year speech 2009

lifecycle illustration at www.fungi.com

so, we’re finishing off yet another sweet year in the land of the rich and slightly overweight. a year of war, recession and great need for new hope. another year of international distress. and we finish a year on the web, where rich and poor connect. as one world. of information that is brought to life by friend and foe - to enrich and empower us. one web and one people. peers and experts in all shades and forms. and arts that bring smiles, reflection (and prolong the overheating of my #¤%&@son-of-a-gun-i-paid-too-much-for-this-pile-of-S#¤%-zepto-w-vista)!

style stands illustrated. for 2008 anyhow. the year i said goodbye to the travel industry. quit my job - kept working hard. took on another. moved to christianshavn. with my ab fab o. met his delightful ‘kids’. got some of my long-gone friends back (i still love to go out with you although you have a terror squad sweet children waiting at home). also through facebook (i salute you, liv & dea in particular). other friends less present. i hope its just a phase. my new job brings me back downtown.

except for strong wishes to upgrade this blog, go to jamaica (life is good, man), visit will in minneapolis and perhaps go to italy also, i am not sure what 2009 will bring. that’s the nature of time. but i am standing well on my 2 feet. i look forward to starting my new job. with all good, fun, competent and passionate people. how can it not be great? and i look forward to follow the seasons change from my fifth floor apartment. and to get to know everyone better. family, colleagues and friends (not necessarily in that order). my modest new year resolution is that i will know what i am doing, why and with whom! not to eliminate spontaneity and surprises, but to live with acceptance and joy. with understanding of other people’s behavior and patterns. makes sense?

now that i’ve thought it through… that would work for the entire world… on the condition of course that the world share a few key values of peace, love and respect. let the web rule for democracy and for equality through communication and sharing! may God protect the Web from any evil hackers or foul terrorists! let the coolest developers, hackers, entrepreneurs, communicators and artists work their magic in favor of the good! you do it so well!! let’s get rid of the overweight. let’s even it out! balance, man! balance! throw in your coins. throw in yourself. give back. share!

friend or stranger! i know i have your attention right now! for the first time i ask you directly: please make a comment to share your resolution or 2009 wishes (editor will only roughly spam-check). come on… just do it (any language will do)!

with love and with hopes of a memorable and positive 2009 for you and for mankind,
n

    I agree with your comments and wish for all to prosper on a personal level and from there on a global level – Out of many we are one but we are all part of the same energy. Our planet is on fire and we need to cool it and create the prober balance between taking using and wasting energy and I think that it is best done through open honest and truthfully relationships across borders religions and interests – If we all could agree on a global understanding to safe the planet and ensure personal development for all then the collective mindfulness of all kinds would come to a common understanding of living in peace and harmony with nature (us) that’s my ZENcere hope for 2009. Be positive mr.lee

    Tough question: Man skal vel lave sit nytårsfortsætte sådan at det også er en ægte udfordring man tager op. Noget der ikke kommer af sig selv; noget man måske ligefrem har brug for at messe “husk dit nytårsfortsætte” for at finde den fornødne diciplin til at gøre?

    …. På den præmis kunne mit være: Hold dig konstruktiv i alle relationer. Det kræver smøger, så dem kvitter jeg til gengæld ikke!

    Mit er ret personligt, så om andre kan bruge det, ved jeg ikke. Men: At lave en fifty-fifty-ordning mellem pligtting og lystting, så pligt ikke altid vinder. Og at lade være med at forveksle dårligt tv og dårlig netsurf med lyst, når det bare er eskapisme eller drug.
