Happy New Year

New Year's Eve has always been a disappointing affair in my experience. In theory, it's this incredible event; the culmination of a year (and really, we only get so many). That's 365 days of triumphs, failures, glories and heartaches, all to be celebrated in one evening.

So what do we do?

We get drunk and surround ourselves with the people whom we spent a proportionately small amount of the last year with, and we wear funny cardboard hats that were made in China (where the new year won't start for another 26 days).

Don't get me wrong, I had a good time last night -- passing out fun-sized Snickers bars that I stole from one party to the people I didn't know at another party, and telling everyone that I'd laced the chocolate with PCP -- I just don't feel that that sort of behavior should really sum me up for 2008.

...actually, forget all that, that actually was probably the coolest thing I did all year.
