Stay sexy in '07

So, New Years has come and gone. I must be getting old or something, as I'm just glad the hoopla of the holidays is over. Sure, I like the extra days off from work and additional opportunities for sleeping late, but returning to normalcy is also nice. It just seems like that time of year drags, and not necessarily in a good way. Last night I was hanging out with Eric, Bill and Matt, at Bad Abbotts and I made a comment about how it seemed like it was 3 in the morning. Partly beacuse the bar was dead, but also because the past few days had all pretty much just seemed like one long day that was finally just ending. One VERY LONG day, though because the night before (NYE) ended for me at about 3:30 in the AM, and the night before that at around 5 in the AM. Sadly, both nights ending alone, although one ending with some nice pasta in a homemade white sauce.

But yeah, so really none of the options for NYE seemed all that appealing this year. While I was interested in going out, nothing really grabbed my fancy. No good shows going on, and zero interest in the regular NYE club scene this year. Luckily, this was rectified by Matt and Dave deciding to have a last minute, small party. And small it was, including only Matt, Dave, Lisa, Kevin, Melissa and her sister and friend, and Kelly (who Matt works with) and her two friends Eleanor and Meagan (who we'd hung out with the night before and who provided the aforementioned pasta and white sauce.) Anyway, low and chill was definitely the way to go this year. No complaints here.

Side note: Did anyone else watch "the ball drop"? Was it me or did it seem like Dick Clark was having a stroke live on the air? Well, either way, he held it together, and really for a guy who's 137 years old, he seems to be doing OK. Although, if there were any young kids watching, his voice probably gave them nightmares.

Side note 2: Speaking of "if there were any young kids watching", how about that Christina Aguilera performance? Now, don't get me wrong, I like the song Candy Man, but again, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve is pretty much a family show, and that song is pretty much one of the raunchiest tunes about boning that I've heard in a long time.

So, what's up for '07? Got that trip to Italy in September, that's going to kick ass. Perhaps a trip to Portland somewhat sooner, to check it out? The band should be be getting off the ground, hopefully there's a bass player in our immediate future. And ladies?....that's right, VMan's looking your way. This year's slogan is "Staying sexy in '07". So, folks, if you have any cute friends, cute sisters, cute roommates, cute co-workers, cute pizza deliverers and letter carriers, etc. that like dudes that look like Jesus (or a lumberjack, depending on what shirt I'm wearing), well you just let me know. Now where did I leave that personality? I'm probably going to need it. Oh, yeah, I think it's under the bed.....
