Imagine if we are to do what we do every new year, every day, to celebrate the cyclical dawn of a new day.

Imagine everyone going, “Happy New Day!” and receiving SMS’s or MMS’s from your friends and loved ones, wishing you a “Happy New Day. May the new day bring you prosperity and the fulfilment of all your dreams”.

Imagine irrationally exuberant people organising parties and countdowns and beach bashes, bands performing every midnight to celebrate the coming of the new day.

Ah… Don’t listen to me.

I’m just trying to contradict the status quo. Acting different.

Happy New Year. Happy New Month. Happy New Week. Happy New Day.

Try not to die. Stay alive. But just in case you do die the next second you read this (which is entirely possible), do relish this very moment right now and smile with your last breath.

Still alive? Congratulations.
