Happy new years eve my a**

[Tornadic Thoughts]

My whole take on the helliday scene, regardless of the date it falls on or the label it's given, is "f*ck the highly programmed fictional f*ckery that continually creates even more hell on earth for all living things in the name of "celebration"." And we're still considered the most intelligent species by most. Hahahahahahaha!!! You really can't make this sorry shit up.

Great thread. Just to be oppositional @Freida , I just dumped a cyber dump truck of love in your front yard! Quick, close the blinds!!
But it will still be there. Some things you just can't ignore. Well you can...but I'll be waiting.
Love ya lady. Very happy you are here.
Ok, enough happy happy joy joy. Not what this thread is about :wtf:

No major or minor triggers on this date. Actually too many traumas throughout my life that if I remembered/thought about all of them, I’d be living in a mental institution by now.

Anyways, my biggest thing is........ Who in their right mind would want to spend 1/2 of the day and night standing out in the f*cking cold in NYC with a zillion other people to watch a f*cking expensive piece of shit drop????? And I might add, with a zillion cops, helicopters, drug and explosive sniffing dogs AND with the threat of some nut job pulling off a terrorist attack!!!!!

Is it me?????? Seriously, someone please explain what the hype is all about, cause I really can’t see any explanation for it!!!!!!

Me either, I would rather celebrate with close people at home or at a spa:P. But yeah, people are different, I guess...

LOL! Some people like that stuff and they go to other parties afterwards too I think. Same as people who love to celebrate St. Patricks Day at all of the pubs,.some people just love to go places like this.

Don’t forget, they’re all wearing depends and shitting and pissing themselves in Times Square because there are no available bathrooms!

I hope this makes someone laugh! (See, I learned something new in PHP :hilarious:)

LOL @EveHarrington that is hysterical!

Sorry admin! I really thought I had it in the right forum this time. Hey - at least I'm consistent!

New Years is just a non-holiday to me. I’m not making resolutions. God knows I already have a shit-ton of goals to accomplish through my day program that will keep me very busy.

I made a joke in PHP the other day. I said that if my 2018 isn’t better than my 2017, I’ll end up dead! Well, I guess it really wasn’t a joke cuz yeah, I almost did die. The others just said “well, at least you’re laughing about it!”

No idea.
I hate any reminder that time is flying by.
I hate New Year's for one specific reason. Humans have an average life expectancy. So in a set number of years I'm likely to die. I realise it's a pretty broad ballpark figure, but it's still measurable.
So, the current number of the range of how many years I'll likely see, is about to tick one closer to the last one I'll likely see. That's frightening and depressing for f*cks sakes. Worse, theres no way to avoid it.

Why people think I want the shortening of my shelf life drunkenly shouted in my face, is beyond me.

Don’t forget, they’re all wearing depends and shitting and pissing themselves in Times Square because there are no available bathrooms

Definitely don't want to go there on New Years now. I figured it would be a shitty crowd, but damn! :eek::poop:

I have been practicing making the number 8 for several months. One day it suddenly occurred to me that I will be writing 2018 many times a day and I suck at forming the number 8. First I tried making two circles one over the other, but it looked like middle school invented script. Then I tried reversing the way I wrote and it made a huge difference. So I have conquered the only thing that I gave any thought about 2018.
I didn’t end up driving to Boston. My daughter and her fiancé drove up here instead. She brought me a new book that I’ve already started reading. “My Grandmother asked me to Tell you She’s Sorry”. So far the granddaughter is 7 and Granny is 77 and they are quite a pair!! Ink is offgassing so I had to put it outside where it will stay for a week before handling the pages. The kindle is better for me as it is not poison like ink is.
So it’s 5:15EST and I’m ready to go to sleep. I’ve been up since 2:30am. I have no interest in NYE. It is freezing, like minus 6 degrees and getting colder.
When I was a Radiographer in Boston I always volunteered to work the Emergency aroom on NYE. It doesn’t get busy until 3am and then all hell breaks loose. Drunk people doing really crazy shit. Now, that was interesting but sad, too. Lots of domestic violence and car crashes. I loved the adrenaline rush.
There were always some perverts who would stick odd objects into their private parts. I did not deal with them, thank you very much.
Sweet dreams. I’ll probably wake up at 2am again and I’ll check back in. Namaste.
