New Years? I just wanna party


New Years Eve is just around the corner and I am excited. I hope you all have some solid plans. Whether you're on a vacation somewhere awesome, headed to bar/club or just sitting in your apartment/house for New Years, I hope you're all looking forward to it. Not so much for the year changing from '09 to '10, but for the fact that a New Years bash is an absolute blast (did I just rhyme?). Well, it's blast to a certain point. Have you ever realized that once the clock hits 12:00 and the ball has dropped, the party kinda comes to an end? It's so anti-climatic. You're boozing your face off with tons of your friends and then all of a sudden it turns 12:00 and the party clears out. I know I'm usually close to being blacked out by 12:00 and instead of having a nice, little make out sesh with a girl when the ball drops it always becomes an intense, sloppy and aggressive make out sesh.

Of course right around 12:30 you regret taking those warm Jameson shots to ring in the New Year as you find yourself vomiting right at the bar. The thing is, no one notices. Not even the girl you've been making out with. The vomit right back to a make out is something you just have to do. I've done it plenty of times. Scummy? Sure. Good story? You bet. The girl will always ask "Ew, did you throw up?" You just have to simply respond "Nah, some guy just gave me some Cheez-Its, they leave a weird after taste." Sounds ridiculous right? Trust me, it works.

One part of New Years I can't really get into are those dumb accessories people will wear like glasses or hats that have the year on them. Sure for the past 9 years the whole double zeros made it possible for people to wear those ridiculous things in comfort. I wanna know what those glasses will look like this year with the big numero 1 right down the middle of your eye. I personally don't get too fired up that a year is changing, unless of course it's my birthday. But watching the ball drop, and counting down from 10 has really lost its luster.

What we need is another Y2K. That was awesome. Everyone was freaking out thinking the computers would somehow shut down causing mass hysteria and bringing our advanced civilization back to the stone age. I was 13 at the time and was more concerned about beating Michael Jordan in the 1 on 1 tournament in NBA Live 2000 than being worried about my financial future and overall well being as a person. Bringing things back to a stone age? Yeah sure, whatever, does that mean we dress like cavemen and I can see girl's boobs? I was down. Anyway, with the year changing from '09 to '10, I just want to know what people will be calling the year. Will we say "Two thousand ten?" or "Twenty ten?" I'm gonna start saying "Twenty ten" feel free to join me. Happy New Year everybody!
