I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s Eve at all. I just don’t see what all of the hoopla and fuss is about. Yay, woo, Dick Clark? Maybe it’s just another excuse to dress up and get drunk. For us perpetually single, it’s a slap in the face. Oh, you don’t have a date? Who will you kiss at midnight??? It’s worse than Valentine’s Day. I’ve never had a spectacular New Year’s Eve, so maybe I’d change my mind about things if I did. But for now, I’m jaded and joining some of my sista-friends in boycotting. Woo!

Aside from the partying, I’ve also never been a big resolution person. I just don’t see the point in all of it. If I want to change something about my life, I’m going to resolve to do it on my time, not wait for one night a year to pile everything together and then never do it. You want to lose weight or stop smoking? Then just do it. Don’t wait for a so-called holiday to try to make changes that you should have made a long time ago just because it’s expected of you. “It’s a New Year, I’m going to make things different! My life will change!” Screw that, my motto is – it’s a new DAY, I’m going to make things different if I want to. Boy, I sound bitter today. Sorry about that.

Ooh, wait – what’s that? I get New Year’s Day off from work? Oh. I think I’m starting to like this New Year’s business a little bit better now. Auld lang syne and all that jive.

CD Pick of the Day: David Sedaris, Live From Carnegie Hall
I’m going all spoken word today. I had heard good things about this CD, and ended up getting it for Christmas. It’s HEE-larious. Run, don’t walk baby.
