Marching On

Viva la Revolución

With the close of 2022 came the Pantone "forecast" announcement of the new Color of the Year for 2023.  Now ... If you're new around here, you may not be familiar with my Pantone gripe.  The good news is, you can read more about it over here.  The, uhm, other news is that you will very quickly discover how wordy I am.  I'd apologize, but honestly?  I clearly needed to get all of that off my chest, like, it can't be healthy to hold that much animosity for the color equivalent of groundhog's day -- A harmless holiday(?) that means nothing, but also kind of something..?

Pssst ... Don't Forget

“Life was meant to be experienced—fall in love. Leave your hometown. Read all the books. Buy the vinyl. Go back to school. Sleep with who you want. Book the flight. Pick up a new hobby. Write more letters. Send that text. Take all the selfies.

Live this life, lovingly.”

Word of the year: звільнений (zvil'nenyy), Liberated

Let the Good Times Roll...

Have we done it?  

Have we managed to make it through another year with all of our marbles? 

Cheers!

"I like misty Autumn mornings, 

and cold, snowy Winter nights.  

Rainstorms bring me inner-peace, 

thunder sets my soul alight. 

 

I care not for Summer, 

days too long, the heavy heat.  

Give me candlelight evenings, 

early darkness, a silent street."

Aw, I'm not just having a go at you, I'm making fun of me too ... We all know consumerism & American holidays are snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be, so we may as well get something back for it, right?
