Happy New Year

So today is NYE and I'm heading up to the city for a couple of days just to see some of the friends from the past month I was up there and go wild in the city with River. It should be a lot of fun and I will be alright since I know how to take care of myself so no worries there. We are going to just jump from house party to house party trying to find whatever it is that you look for in a party and then I will attempt even though I know I won't succeed to stay up another 17 hours past my new years and give someone a call and enjoy the countdown with them by phone. Unsure yet who but I will definitely give someone a shout. Um lets see what could I tell you, I haven't been up to much, I haven't been to the beach yet to swim because even though you might have a warm day once you get to the beach its very windy so still no good summer days yet. I do eat tons of meat pies though which make me happy and I have been learning a little bit about the guitar, very frustrating instrument to learn how to play. This will mark the first NYE spent without a MN friend because I did go to Jamaica for NYE back in '04 and man that was a crazy 3 days. What a funny trip, me Jack, and Charles and those two didn't know each other but I planned a trip and those were the only two friends who decided to go and we had a great time. I wish I still had all those pictures but my hard drive crashed and I lost all those. I snuck a bottle of Jack Daniels on the plan on the flight home and every 30 minutes it was, BOOP(Noise to get a flight attendant) excuse me could we have 3 more cans of coke please. We ended up drinking the whole bottle and Jack even spilled his drink in the middle of the aisle and the whole plan smelled like Jack and Coke. Obviously it was us because we we relatively quiet at the beginning but by the end of the flight we were loud and obnoxious. funny at the time, we were 19 at the time I believe. Well tonight it will be a bottle of Grey Goose to do some destruction on me and my boys and the house parties we go to will be BYOB, I'm not a huge fan of BYOB I believe in Kegs and the fact that they're cheap enough to make your money back and the party is just great. That reminds me of NYE 2005 where I through a 4 kegger right in the middle of "the hood" only to have the cops come and bust it and we took the kegs into Kyles van and it was like 6 of us with Kegs in the car and we drove to another party where all of our time there was spent laughing at Kyle and Greg for not holding there liquor into a double sink respectively. Ahhh those where the days, last years New Years was a lot of fun for me and it was my roommates birthday so we had a party bus and went to my favorite bar the library and not only did we countdown the new year but that was also the countdown for my memory cause I do remember saying 3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR but then I wake up the next day at Manvel to people scattered all over the house. That was one of my favorite mornings, we had champagne and went back to the library only to have them tell me stories of our gang from the previous night. Ahhhh those were the days, sorry to reminice but I just loved those times and they happen very rarely where I am. I believe Common said it best "Where drunk nights get remembered more than sober ones" Adults should be able to step out and agree that some of their favorite memories are sitting around with close friends and telling stories of their fruitful past over some drinks. Well I would love if you read this blog to just leave a comment telling me and appropriately everyone a favorite New Years Eve memory from the past. Don't be a jerk and not do it it only takes about 30 seconds, I'm looking forward to hearing from someone I didn't even know followed this blog, keep it semi appropriate also. Also a quick I love you to my grandparents, all of them. I will try to save up money to get a ticket back to the states just for a week or two this next year and then go back to my travels. alright then everyone have a great closing to '08 and may '09 be sublime
