Its the second day of 2009. So far, not much has changed. Its so funny to me that we all think things will magically change and we can resolve to make ourselves better people on one fucking day of the year. Like at midnight on the 31st/1st, all of our sins are absolved and we get to start over.
Winn Claybaugh always said “the busiest day of the year at the gym is january 2nd. But go back to that same gym a month later and see how many people are there”
So fucing true.
I decided instead of making new years resolutions, I’m going to make a list of cool shit I wanna do in 2009. Ill keep you posted.
New years eve this year was fucking amazing. Me and Erakuh started off the night by trying to eat dinner at Benihana in Anaheim, but after sitting there for almosty 30 minutes with only the busboy bringing us tea we decided to just leave.
We made it to Disneyland around 8. The lines were crazy, and as I got closer to the ticket booth I noticed that you can now pay for a passport in MONTHLY PAYMENTS. Holy fuck. Amazing. So I paid my 69 dollars to get in and now 8.75 gets taken out of my bank account every month.
It was crowded. We went to california adventure, rode the coaster, got cheese on a stick and went on soarin over california.
Made it back into disneyland at 1130 and made our way to just to the left of the castle. The walkways were jammed and we settled there. The countdown happened, got an amazing midnight kiss and then the real fireworks happened.
Well, they would have happened if the fog wasn’t blocking the view. The entire 65,000 person crowd grew rather quiet as they realized that there were indeed fireworks going off. We could hear them but could only see colored patches in the sky, not full blown extravagannza that we hoped for.
On a side note, I fucking love fireworks.
We stayed there for about another hour, rode dumbo and the haunted mansion. Made our way home in the fog.
Honestly probably one of the best, if not THE best new years I’ve ever had.
I hope that this night is an indication of how the rest of the year will go, but that’s too hard to determine. So far its been just as challenging.
