Whats up everyone?

I had the day off yesterday and used it to clean up the apartment. Had some video to rip but I got distracted with being lazy, so yeah, thats still on my to do list!

I didn't go out and party or anything on the 31st, I guess I am the only 23 year old that does not find getting smashed appealing...

Then again, being 23 I am probably younger than many on this site.

How was your holiday?
 
im 22 been here since i was 18... i just found out the joys of drink this last year. happy new year.

I'm 21, but instead of partying, my gf and I were going to spend some "alone" time at my house. Unfortunately we drank or ate something bad and we got a bit sick, then we fell asleep at about 11 to wake up the next day. Whoot! We're party animals!!!! Yeeeaaaaaah!!!!!
 
Am I the only one that thinks New Years is the dumbest holiday there is? I mean it's awesome to have the day off and everything and to have some drinks with friends but I find it hilarious that people take it so seriously, I overheard someone saying at 11:55 how "Everything is going to change in 2008, and its going to be so amazing and blah blah blah" and "OMG were 6 minutes away" and then two minutes later "4 MINUTES, 4 MINUTES EVERYONE" "OMG there is 1 MINUTE LEFT IN 2007".

What really changes? You add an extra number onto the year, thats it, it's no different than any other day of the year.

I dunno maybe it's the fact that everyone is hammered and I cannot stand being around obnoxious drunk people, I saw so many ****ed up people walking home.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S 2008, THIS IS MY FIRST GLASS OF WINE IN 2008 OMG, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?"

Ughhhhhhh.

I'm with ya. It's just an excuse for me to get the gang together and drink myself into the future.:beer:

Totally, and I'm all for that. I find it hilarious when you see all these chicks wearing like wedding gowns. Ridiculous.
 
Exactly. We just make sure we go to the dirty bars. You know, places those chicks are scared to go into.

I was listening to a friend tell me about their New Years resolutions, not pointing out that they are the EXACT same ones that they told me about last year, when I came to a sudden realization. If you want to %100 guarantee that you won't get something accomplished, make it your New Years resolution.

If you want to make a change, then just make it. I had been thinking that I was going make a resolution to stop eating junk food. But with my new frame of mind I just stopped eating it the moment I had the idea. I think it'll work out better.

That said, I spent my New Years Eve brewing beer with a friend. Then a group of us had some drinks, played some games and watched the ball drop on TV. I think we were in bed by 12:20. :beer:
 
i dunno my new years resloution last year was to lose weight and I lost 78 pounds

this years grow a beard and get to my goal weight and a few others.
 
you ever get really drunk and black out or as I call it, "time travel"? First you're at a bar, you're drunk, you're drinkin, you black out, you wake up and you're at another bar, still drinkin', you black out, you wake up and you're at yet another bar, still drinkin', you black out, you wake up and you're working at McDonalds, been the evening manager for 3 years but can't quit cos you're bangin the girl on the fry machine

yeah, shameleslsy stolen from dave attel.

my girlfriend and I met up with a number of friends and went to a coworker's house to party. Most people got absolutely SMASHED, I was pretty tore up but not so bad with about 5 or 6 beers from a keg in me. My buddy brought some thc candy which made everything about perfect.

Some folks got too drunk, a couple puked, but overall it was aces.

I know some folks aren't in to drinking and that's totally cool with me - I used to be the same, I hated all those kids that used to drink and party every night in high school. Meanwhile, I was shy, introverted and didn't talk to anybody. Then in college I got drunk a few times, went out partying and started talking to people, and found out that everybody really liked me, just nobody talked to me cos they thought i didn't want to talk to anyone. alcohol's great for lowering inhibitions and getting people to loosen up and open up - but you shouldn't depend on it.

people have been getting drunk for as long as people have been around. hell, people got drunk in the bible. it's been around forever. it's been helping ugly people get laid, helping writers write, helping musicians crank out a couple of tunes or get through a bad show, and helping shy people loosen up and finally go talk to that girl of their dreams.

if you don't want to drink, more power to ya, but don't confuse smashed with having a nice, solid buzz. that's where most people prefer to be, but the downside is your body's always constantly processing that alcohol, so one minute you can have the perfect buzz on, the next you're starting to sober up, so you have another beer, then wind up going past that line and starting to get drunk. that's generally how it goes. but a good buzz loosens ya up, puts you in a good mood, and makes you want to yell and scream at everything. at least, that's what I saw on market st in san francisco monday night.
 
I was never a fan of the 1st...found it quite pointless.

I saw No Country for Old Men came home, checked my mail, DVXUser, a few other sites. And went to sleep by 12:20. haha.

Happy 2008!
