Gratitude: New Year Greetings 31.12.13

December 31, 2013 by martinbelk

I don’t ‘do’ sentimental. I do meaningful. That is my wish for 2014.

News — Old news, Bad news, No news – none matters.

Abandon TV. Revolt the media. Revolve the stars.

We have no use for them.

On the last days of today, I walked through the valley of my grandfather, who luckily, continued to walk.

Resolution: no more shit.

Resolution: bring history, real history back to the young, that they might know, again, where they stand.
