As the end of this year dawns near, I remember the existence of these fabled beings in Greek mythology, and I cannot help but envy one of their traits.

I feel the need to send off this year with both middle fingers raised, yet I also feel that this gesture is insufficient.
With all the shit that has passed these 366 days, I feel a need to personify, anthromorphize this year, just for the intent of kicking it in the nads.
I for one don't really care that 2013 is starting... I'm just glad 2012 is finally going to kick the bucket.

Well, at least we can all laugh and ridicule all those end of the world nut jobs as they are now forced to stow away their cardboard suits in shame.
