Happy New Year? Goal #1 Completed

First post of the year and I’m already faced with a major dilemma; to bullshit or not to bullshit.  I suppose that since this blog is mostly for myself, I should be as honest as possible. So with that said, I must admit that this New Year’s Eve was pretty much a downer.  But before I piss all over it, I should first point out the good news – I managed to knock out one of my one hundred goals; kiss Sonia at midnight on January 1st, 2009.  As for the rest of the night, it pretty much sucked.  We began the evening at one of our local watering holes, Senior Freds. Despite the owner’s investment of kazoos and party hats, the bar was never at more than half of its capacity.    Even worse, the half that showed up were about as interesting as a box of hair.  Nevertheless, Sonia and I rang in the new year with a glass of champagne and a kiss.  With the night still young, we decided to attend a house party in Sherman Oaks.  With over two hundred guests in attendance, great food, an open bar and loud music, it was a party certainly worthy of ringing in the new year.  Unfortunately, Sonia and I found the festivities impossible to enjoy due to the fact that our son, Devin was spending the night at his friend’s house despite being forbidden to do so.  Ah, the joys of parenthood…..  So, instead of beginning the new year with visions of joy and wonderment, we began with thoughts of torture.  Happy New Year!
