A statistic is more than a number

According to dictionary.com a statistic is the science that deals with the collection, classification, analysis, and interpretation of numerical facts or data, and that, by use of mathematical theories of probability, imposes order and regularity on aggregates of more or less disparate elements. It goes on to further define a statistic as the numerical facts or data themselves. I propose a statistic is so very much more when applied to humankind.

Final Thoughts

I sit here after partying with friends and a bit too much to drink; I am wondering what final words do I have for this year. What do I want to say that I probably shouldn't address while under the influence of alcohol and loud loud music?

I watched Saddam Hussein hang today.

I told someone I loved them this year and had that love rejected.

I survived my first semester at Berkeley.

I lost 55 pounds this year.

I am proud to be the mother, woman, friend, daughter that I am.

My self esteem and confidence are intact.

I received my Associates Degree.

My horizons are open and the world lays at my feet awaiting my mark.

My daughters are beautiful and brilliant.

I have learned. I have learned about me, love, boys (not men), my future is bright.

I am loved. Truly loved. I am alone. Sometimes lonely. Sometimes not. (Shut up Steve)

I have really good supportive friends. (SHUT UP STEVE)

Sex is for more than procreation :-))

I am happy.

These are my final thoughts. And while some of them bring a bittersweet or plain ol' bitter smile to my heart, they are mine. I own them all.

I could wish for a better year...but I won't. I am grateful.

I am accomplished and respected.

I will only say I wish for you, those who find my words of comfort or interest, a piece of my joys and even a taste of my sorrows. Without both you could not know the wisdoms that warm my heart and shape my mind. I wish for you my happiness.

That being said, if you are single over 35 and educated you should look me up. LOLOL

Blessed New Year to you all.
