Is 2008 really that exciting a prospect?

A friend of mine said something today, to the effect of "all this talk about 2008 (2000 and great) is starting to make me feel a little skeptical." And that's true, right? For anything. I mean even Chuck D. said "don't believe the hype." But I will admit that 2007 was such an awful, dismal year that even cynical Paul Pedersen couldn't hold in his excitement for the 2kgr8.

Let's see, where to begin; broke up with my girlfriend, drank like a sauce hound, couldn't save money for the life of me, dated some crazy broads; it was all just so overwhelming. Things have been better for the past few months, and I guess that's where all of this 2008 optimism comes from, but its admittedly a little irresponsible to get so excited.

That's why this year's emotion is officially "unmitigated indifference"; because getting worked up is for suckers.
