A new year.

Well, Its the year 2009 now..... whoopie.

Why is it that everyone expects their entire life to change for the better after the year is over?
you can be having the most horrible, emotionaly destructive, soul crushing days of your life, but if its December, all you usually get is "dont worry, things will get better at the new year"

Does this only happen to me? Is it just my family or does it happen on a more broad scale?

I mean, things didnt get much better for me a christmas, I wasa basicly told by my dad that I would be getting a certain amount of money, instead of a traditional present. I was fine with that, I was hoping for some cash anway.... so I spend the next couple of weeks sorting stuff out, what it is that im going to get and when. May as well right?

So christmas day rolls by... everything is looking good, geot more than a few things from my other family, my mother, brother and the like. I see the stuff my dad left for my family ya know?
A flatscreen for my younger bro, A new laptop for my sister, and a new 360 for my younger bro.
Then he stops by to make suere we are all okay.

Takes me up to my room, and tells me that he hasent got anything to give me. I'm pissed, understandably enough, but I dont show it..... showing anything other than happiness and contempt in my family is grounds for a huge arguement.

Now dont get me wrong, I'm pissed yeah, but not that I'm not getting the money, I'm not that spoiled. I'm pissed because he told me that I was.....if he had just said to me "Craig, you're ninteen now I think your getting too old for christmas presents." I would have been fine.
That way, I wouldent plan out what it is I was going to get, I had stuff planned ya know? Some stuff that was real important to me that I didn't want to tell my mum because I wanted to surprise her. Just walk in one morning and tell her that I got my drivers license , like she has been bitching at me to get. I was also wanting to get my tatoo fixed after it went all blotchy on me..... but I basically had that all thrown in my face by him.

My mum's been asking him recently about getting me my money, he keeps telling her that he will talk to me about it, but he never does......that only means one thing, he's only saying it to shut her up...........I just want to know why the hell is he lying

Well, whatever the reason, I'm gonna find out.

Happy new year to all the people out there...from my silent little corner of cyberspace, A silent happy new you year to all of you.
