Happy New Years to one and all.
I hope everyone enjoyed their new year. I spent mine playing poker for several hours against my better judgement after a failed attempt to get everyone to booze heavily. Grey Goose was even involved and only the Duke and I wanted any part. Pretty sure the Duke wasn’t feeling the cards, but its a bit hard though when 6 other people wanted to do nothing other than play poker.
Maybe it wouldn’t have been quite so bad if we weren’t sitting under the brightest light on the planet inches above our head which made me feel like I hadn’t blinked in 4 days and several hours. Someone even asked me I was ok because my eyes were so red. No worries, though. It was just a SPOTLIGHT POINTED AT MY EYES.
Maybe it was the fact we decided to get Chinese food right after the Duke and I started taking shots. (and by we I mean not me. I was all about the KFC, but I’m not even sure anyone heard me as they were already blurting out what they wanted from the Chinese food place.) It was ok though, because I never got the chance to digest any of that or whatever else I ate yesterday.
It also could have been the fact that as the clock struck midnight, nothing happened. Noone really made note of it until 15 minutes later, noone turned on the TV to watch the ball drop in Times Square or the fireworks in Boston, noone even got the least bit excited it was now 2005. Way to celebrate the new year guys.
The Duke and I text messaged each other a few times, and I texted some of my friends across the country sending them good tidings.
I was so into the game that I was listening to music on my new mp3 player.
When I got back to this crazy house I currently call home, a crazy scene was forming of high entertainment, as someone from high school noone’s seen in quite a while was at a bar and one of the kids brought him and some others back to see everyone else. It would have been totally awesome, had I not had to run downstairs hoping I could make it to the bathroom in time to projectile vomit enough undigested food to feed vast parts of Somalia, not to mention what looked like my lung some dying disease ridden teenager could have used to live for 8 more months.
I figured that was my best chance to give in to the new year and pass out.
This year is gonna be awesome!
