New Years is one of my favorite holidays. It's an excuse to party, nothing more. Plus, most memorable kiss I ever had was on New Years. I was at a Goth club and had a thing for this one cute chick for years. I kept moving state to state so never had a chance to really hook up with her.

Well, she was there too and I remember U2's New Years Day came on and I frantically went looking for her (it was very crowded). Found her and finally after 4 years kissed her.

Then I moved to another state again and that was that. But I'll never forget that moment.

As for wishing others a Happy New Years, it's a good luck thing. We hope the people we like do well for themselves in the upcoming year.

Totally.

About every single person in the area here goes to the local club on new years. It's horribly overcrowded, but I have the best time every single year.

I nearly had what you had. But then without the 4 years. Or the kiss. So, really, nothing happened. Put a dampener on things a bit. But hey, it's all good fun when you've been drinking a bit, anyway.

Rock - hope you had one of your famous hugs out of it at least.

A little hot tip, you'd be surprised how many girls wanted you to kiss them all these years. You're drinking, she's drinking. Seriously amigo, there's a lot more upside than downside.

Five reasons why I don't usually like New Years:
1. I hate crowds.
2. I hate amateur drinkers.
3. I hate cold weather.
4. I hate having to be around a that many obnoxious and boring males under the influence of their amateur drinking.
4. I've gone home alone too many times, and its one of those days when going home alone sucks more than usual.


Two reasons I like this one (though I still had no temptation to go out last night):
1. For some reason I got just enough done in what I call "the reinvention" that, even though 2010 was pretty much a piece of shit year, I'm confident that the end of 2011 will show distint improvement.
2. I don't have to teach, or even go into the office more than a couple times, all January.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Good list.. I'd get rid of #1, #3 and #4.. Well, the second #4 since you have two of them. And #3 really isn't a New Years thing, just a climate thing.. Move your ass south of Iowa (speaking of which, wife and I are going to Des Moines next weekend for a leadership conference).

I've always hated New Years even in my party days because of the amateurs. It's one of two times a year they come out in drones and act retarded and use the weak ass excuse of 'I was drunk, it's ok'. No, you were retarded.. Because of your retarded decision making, which was further handicapped by the booze.

To me, New Years was just another day but with a numerical change of the last 1-2 digits of the yearly date.

2010 was the year of the recovery if I had to put any words to it. I wouldn't say it was shitty, but wasn't the best.

I'll put 2010 to bed now, and I'll wish 9 months of 2011 away as well. Mia's done with chemo in September. New Year's Eve really isn't my thing either. Mrs. D always gets pissed cause I never wanted to go out. Lately we go to house parties but there's just so much you have in common with her friends husbands.

Anyway, here's to 2011.

I haven't went out on New Year's eve in years.. actually the past three.. I haven't even been awake at Midnight.. this year.. fell asleep around 10 and woke up after 1.. I don't get excited about the chime of the clock itself.

For me.. it is more of a time of reflection, assessing the present and plotting out the new year with goals, budget and hopes. It is about the most hopeful time of the year for me.. clean slate so to speak.

That's one reason I like New Years as well - the clean slate. Each year, a different goal or goals. We achieved our goal in 2010, although it still wasn't a good year. I quit 2 jobs last year and both sucked. Plus, I can't tell you how many recommendations I had to write for friends who were in between jobs. 2010's economy was better than 2009's, but that's not saying much at all.
