On December 20 I left Chicago to Atlanta. I reunited with my two brothers and parents. The visit was long and fulfilling. On December 27 the five of us drove to Birmingham, AL, to see the extended family. During this visit I got quality time with many of my cousins and ate a ton of amazing food.
On December 30 I jumped a plane to New York city to be with my lady-type person and her friends for New Years.
So a couple interesting notes about that experience. It could be seen as “pathetic” that at 25 years of age this was my very first New Years Eve that I did not spend at my parents’ house. Ever. The truth is that my house was always where the party was. By going to New York I broke a tradition of picking up super explodey fireworks from Alabama and hosting a HUGE party for my friends. So how did my Eve go? Friends, lady-friend and I went to a bar with a dance floor and danced the night away. At 2AM she and I went outside to cool off and talk. We sat on the side of the building and had a good heart-to-heart. At that exact moment about five gallons of water fell on us. We looked up and the culprits had left.
Heck of a way to ring in the new one.
It was good times.
Um, yeah, sorry about that “water” prank. Would’ve worked better if it were colder out. My bad.
Speaking of “Where have you been,” dude, it’s February. Last Blog was about New Years!?! Why do I still come here every hour on the hour for updates? You’re worse than CNN with the updates. At least they report on news I heard yesterday.
