Sometimes in life, there are significant days that people are reminded of every time the date/event repeats itself the following year(s), and it has an effect on them. For example, let's say the family dog died today last year. Now's the time it might hit you. Chandler from Friends decided to boycott Thanksgiving. Why? Thanksgiving day (when he was 7) was the day his parents chose to tell him that they were getting a divorce. The phrase to use is "scarred for life".

Tonight was the night of Warwick One World Party 2005. On One World Party night last year, something significant happened, giving my life a fresh (and short-lived) happy new chapter, which I will call Chapter X. It ended in severe misery and I can say, with much confidence, those pages remain history, with the last couple pages giving me paper cuts - which I still get every now and then.

The party tonight had glimpses which reminded me of the pain, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't enjoy myself. The bad music, really bad show of food (thanks mostly to Warwick Hospitality and their Hygiene Policy - URGH) and glimpses of the main character in Chapter X - had a bit of a part to play. I left the party early feeling a bit miserable, cold, and directionless.

Does this sound like a sad chapter of a day or what?

Sad chapters deserve happy endings, and I'm glad to be able to say that my pain was deterred by the one thing capable of it. I have reason to smile and be able to say, "Today was a great day!"

Wanna know what my happy ending was? Ask me and I just might tell you, but don't be offended if I don't. :)
