I'm staying at home with five of my seven Kids. Me and the three teenagers are watching tape two of Triumph Of The Nerds, one of teh HOTTIEST VHS tapes ever made! Only Alpha Nerds own it and yes, it is not available on DVD! After that, we're watching I Robot until it's time to watch The Ball Fall on Times Square.

All from the safety and comfort of our home.

Got to end the year with a picture post !

That's what i am doing, staying at home and watching some good movies.
 
Small time party. The Lady and I, her two sisters and a couple that are like family... it's gonna be a bittersweet occasion. Jo's grandma just died two days ago. :( She's taking it pretty hard, we're just trying to keep her distracted. It was gonna be a big party, but at her request I told all the others not to come. Told them it'd just be family... which is close enough to the truth, I guess. Still, it will still be a "fermented event" :give and we're still gonna try to keep it somewhat party-ish. We're gonna have hats that say 2004, then at midnight switch to hats that say 2005. We'll still do the toast, thank God for the year and for next, then lose ourselves in fermentation. :Beer :dancefool



Happy New Year to everybody at :V
 
Huge block party with food, lots of liquor, kids, cards, games, lots of good lookin ladies and my lincoln in the driveway, with it's new back brakes (did em yesterday) and when I wake up about noon tomorrow, I'm gonna go put on some new tires. Happy new year to all.

Thank you. I feel a measure of sadness, sure. But right now, I am just concerned with Jodee and her family. My grief is more in that I didn't get to know her better... it's more a grief of regret, and less a grief of loss. Jodee and I have been married for 5 1/2 years (and together for a total of 6 1/2 years) and in that time, I have probably seen Grandma Barb only 10 times, maybe. Jodee's family isn't closely knit like my family is. But still, this is tearing Jodee up. She and her grandma were close once. They never had a falling out per se, just more of a drifting away. but now it's too late to do anything about it. My role in this is to be a rock for Jodee and to an extent, to the rest of her family. I will be a pall-bearer, but that's an honor, not a burden to me.

But now that the get together is over tonight, I can say it went alright... totally not according to plan, but alright. Jodee and her sisters all fell asleep about 11 (I woke them up for midnight then let them go back to sleep after resolutions) and then company left about 1:00. Nobody got really drunk. I drank the most, and I've still got my wits about me. I only had like 3 Rum and Cokes over the course of the whole night. But that's better I suppose. I'm not much of a drinker these days anyway. I started drinking at 20 (later than most, but earlier than uncle sam would've wanted.) and from 20 til about 23, it was great fun and I did it alot, but now, at 24 going on 25, the desire has faded quite a bit, and so I seldomly drink.. That's a good thing too. And besides, if less was consumed tonight, then that means more can be consumed in the future. And that means reduced odds of waking with a hangover, and a milder hangover if I do.

But thanks for your concern. I'm alright. I just want to see the girls through it. I hope everything went great for your new year... can you believe there will never be another 2004. It's slipped behind the rose colored glass wall, and will slowly turn to stone then fade away... it's lost to us except for our memories and our trinkets from it. It's a bittersweet thought and I feel it each new year. Sure, it's the start of a whole new year full of promises and opportunities, but it's one more gone, it's having to say goodbye forever to something that enveloped us for an entire 12 months. It's syonara (spelled right?) to something that consumed our whole lives for a whole year..... I don't know... perhaps I think too much...

Well, anyways... happy new year!! 2005!! Woohoo!
