New Year's Eve

I have tried really hard to get "into" New Year's Eve but yea I just don't enjoy it. I mean I like hanging out with friends at like a house party, thats cool as long as I don't have to drive anywhere. But really...ewwwwwww...I have no desire at my awesome age (30 is the new 15) to go out dressed up, find a way into downtown Boston, stand outside of a bar in cute shoes and pay a $2o cover to get into a bar where a beer will cost me $12. I would be surrounded by a bunch of 22 yrs old who are looking to start the year off waking up in someones bed who they didn't know 12 hours earlier. Ummmm...yea...that sounds...ummmm AWFUL!

One of the best New Year's Eves I had was was I fell asleep on the couch while Jade and Brooke sat on me and they watched TV. Biddy came home and was like "Ummm the 22 yr old is asleep and the little kids are watching TV, whats wrong with this?" I woke up to watch the ball drop and Brooke was like: "That's it?"

Yea I know, stayed up until midnight to watch a big ass ball with light bulbs on it slip down a pole. Why?

This is what I want to do this New Year's Eve, go to the Halfway with Mike (it is a Thursday after all) and come home at like 8pm and go to bed. Happy Sleep for me!

Posters

Okay so I don't know if anyone else has seen these posters, I mean I am sure people have. They are the posters that say "All I ever need to know I learned in..." like Yoda or kindergarten. And I was thinking today that really everything you need know about being a decent human being you learn in kindergarten. Bear with me on this...think about it, here are some key things I remember learning when I was a young whipper snapper:

• no biting


• share


• take small bites (of food)


• wait your turn


• use your inside voice when inside


• no shoving


• no unwanted touching

See! And so many "adults" do not follow these rules, well maybe they aren't rules but still. Go to any major event or to a crowded bar and you will see people doing all of the above or not doing (sharing, using inside voice, small bites) Maybe even the biting if its a crowd of people trying to get to Rob Pattinson. (sigh, ahhhhh Edward Cullen)

I wonder...

Now today was kind of an annoying day, I spent 2 hours in the car driving to work because it was crazy snowing and the trains run f***ed up when the weather is less then ideal. I made the wrong choice, if this was a choose your own adventure book I would totally go back to where I made the decision and choose the other way. Shit.

So as I parked and walked a little less the a half a mile to work, in my Uggs. Yea, glad I spent $120 on those pieces of crap, NOT waterproof as I discovered as I walked through slush. As I was walking I thought of the episode of Family Guy when Lois's dad is poor and has to take the bus and Peter explains to him that this is how normal people get around. F***. I want to trade lives with Kim Kardashian for a month, I had to sloth my way to work in the morning, work, scald my throat with soup because I have a sore throat and then drive home. Oh, not done...go to UPS to pick up a package, go to the grocery store to get quarters, go home, clean up, do laundry. Ew. I need an assistant. And yes I know that there are women walking through the amazon with a bucket of water on their head and a baby on their hip but god damn I bet that they don't have to go to the gym.

I need to reduce my work hours so I can actually have a life outside of work, this sucks dude. Maybe I can throw it all away and move to Bali and marry a fisherman and walk on the beach all day while sipping from a coconut.

Tiger Woods, bad kitty kitty!

Okay so Tiger Woods is a bizllionaire and he has recently been caught up in a scandal because he may or may not have (but probably did) cheat on his wife. Okay, so imagine you are Tiger, you have the same amount of stress and being pulled in different directions that everyone else has but I imagine it is multiplied by 7,000 compared to what we deal with. And I am sure women are throwing themselves at him and I kinda get it, I mean I think he is a poop head for cheating on his wife but we don't know what goes on in their marriage, no one does, except for them. And if he is any kind of husband or father I am guessing he feels pretty shitty right now and that may be enough punishment for him, I don't know, I don't know the guy. But to put this on ESPN as breaking news is ridiculous, yes he plays golf freakishly well, but who cares if he bangs some other chick(s), its not my business. Does change how he plays golf? No. So whatever, life happens and everyone makes mistakes, luckily most of us don't have our mistakes broadcast throughout the world.
