RSS Feeds: 2010: The Aftermath of a Small-Scale Nuclear War
Well, the New Year's celebration certainly sounded like a small scale nuclear war. Obviously it wasn't, but that doesn't change the fact that this was the noisiest New Year celebration I have experienced. The usual noisemakers like firecrackers, horns, and things I can't even name were in use and someone decided that revving a motorcycle engine for five minutes counted as pyrotechnics. It doesn't, of course, but try telling that to the idiot sitting on the seat.
Alcohol Abuse
I don't get torqued very often, but I abused the hell out of rum and coke for six hours before the witching hour. When I ran out of rum, which is a rare thing to happen, I switched to brandy (but not the cheap kind my relatives seem to abuse). By the time 15 minutes after stroke of midnight had passed, I really had no clue what I was doing. In fact, I'm writing this under the influence.
The amazing thing is that no one bought or brought any beer to the party, and a party it definitely was.
Karaoke Abuse
I have never claimed to be a great singer, regardless of the genre. For some reason, however, the relatives always want me to sing Sige, which is 100 percent Tagalog. It's one of the songs that I sing better than any one of my relatives can. What's truly amazing is I don't have a clue as to what half of it means.
Before I moved here, I never spent a single second singing Karaoke, although I knew what it was. Since I've been here, however, I've been just short of being forced to sing during every holiday and some birthdays.
Happy New Year!
I certainly hope 2010 will turn out a whole lot better than 2009, which sucked to no end. Regardless, what's passed is the past. Let's look toward the future and see how we can improve our situations instead of complaining about the situations we are presently in.
I'm not a genius, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that a whole lot of stuff is broken, from government to family. Our New Year resolutions should include resolutions to fix the things that are broken instead of putting "band-aids" on them, as the US government is fond of doing.
It's time to start as fresh as possible. It's what I plan to do.
