This is a drawing of a photo of me in 1981 before a little league game. Long boring story about the article I drew it on. Anyway I liked the photo because it's young and spiteful. Throwing the ball at the camera.
Pushi, me enoje 77 osea yo guardaba las fotos de los tres y la de Kevin no me dejaba, asi que salieron dos no mas en ella u.ú
I was excited about the 2009 Year In Pictures project because it really seemed as if things were turning around for everyone.
Now it's done. There were ups. There were downs. There were ups. There were downs. There were downs. There were downs. There were downs. There were downs.
For all its wretchedness, 2009 was still far from the worst year of my life. It's not even in the top ten worst. Plenty of perfectly good stuff happened.
What it did win, however, is the Grand Futility Award. Were it only about ungovernability and similar such semi-abstract concepts, it wouldn't be so horrendous. But it's more about the utter uselessness of any tools this culture has given us to make the slightest difference in anything anywhere anytime at all.
Flail, thrash, scream, yell, and at the end all you have left is an intense desire to take the utterly decrepit symbol-sign 2009 and put it to the torch. And then, as you see here, the damn year didn't even burn very well.
Now... the 2009 Year In Pictures group. Can I say how much I loved this project? I need discipline, or I will never finish anything ever.
All year long, people bitched that they wished they'd never started the damn thing. Not me. I loved it.
Only one thing, though. As it relates to this project, 2009 is going out with yet another maddening exercise in futility and general frustration. I have been trying to post nine photos which, due to unavailability of computer time in New York or just my own forgetfulness at 11:59 PM, were uploaded to flickr but never sent to the group. Unfortunately, the limit of 5 per day is preventing me from finishing this. I'm hoping this isn't yet another exercise in futility, because I did this project and I want to finish it.
Fortunately, my own set has them all in order. Enjoy the memory-flog.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
