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.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
