Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Duh. So I figured a blog before 2011 was in order. But first I would like to give my thoughts on New Year's Eve.
WHY IS NO ONE THROWING A JEAN TUXEDO NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY!!!!!
How did I not think of us before!?? I am such an idiot. Everyone makes a huge stink about getting dressed up for New Year's, ringing in the new year with hope and optimism. I tell ya what, I want to ring in the new year with my stone washed, two toned, jean tuxedo. Just picture everyone in denim, girls wearing denim skirts, dudes wearing Bugle Boy jeans with a matching jacket, sleeves rolled up, drinking Budweiser, maybe even some Osh Kosh B'agoshes overalls could be worn. I apologize for not renting out a bar, making it a Jean Tuxedo party and making this New Year's Eve the greatest night of your entire adult life. Next year. I promise. I will be wearing a Jean Tuxedo to this house party I will be attending and see what kind of reaction I get...its research.
You know what is scary....
Watching your parents get old in front of you. I had this conversation with my Dad today...
Dad-"Did you watch that game where the guy returned an interception for a touchdown?"
Me-"Um, can you be more specific, kind of vague"
Dad-"The bowl game."
Me-"Oh....the bowl game.....this decade? What are you talking about? Did they have team names or were you watching a pick up game at the high school?"
Apparently my mom was given the Senior Discount at Burger King today. Couple things.
-My mom went to Burger King?? No way. She hasn't got fast food since '89.
-BK dishes out Senior Discounts?
-Is an elderly person going for the BK Senior Discount the equivalent to an 18 yr old trying to get into a bar? They must ask to card you to make sure no one is trying pull a fast one when they order that cup of coffee and small fry. I wonder if they have a seperate line with a bouncer. I would pay to watch a 58 yr old lady fumbling through her purse to get her ID, but she knows she is not old enough for the Senior Discount, so she starts to think out loud as she is looking for her ID...
"Where the hell is it?? I just had it a minute ago! Fa-nah-bu-la! Lipstick, credit cards, hard candy....do you take a Work I.D??....You don't? Shit. I look old enough though....right? Can ya let me in this one time?"
This is my new favorite commercial....

Hamburger Helper looks great on the box, but does not taste great in my mouth. Maybe I just can't cook.
I have to walk down 4 flights of stairs every morning at 530am to start my car because I can't sit in my car like Cameron Frye as it defrosts. But today, I was kind of late, so I did the 'skip every other step' as I went back upstairs. Holy shit am I out of shape! No way could I run the required 1 mile time we had to achieve back in gym class if I had to do it tomorrow. I thought I was going to pass out halfway up the steps.......which leads me to this..
Have you ever noticed that alot of EMT employees smoke......alot. Like hey dude or lady, I know you work alot of hours and you are saving people day in and day out, which I totally appreciate, but if you see me passed out and I am not breathing, ya it is weird enough knowing you will be giving me mouth to mouth, but could you not smoke like a chimney. When I finally come to, I don't want the taste of ashtray being the first thing I taste on my new lease on life. I will give ya hug for saving my life, but then I will punch you. Just a quick swig of Listerine will do, you got 15 secs, I won't be going anywhere.
I had a job interview the other day. It lasted 5 mins. I said 'Yes', 'Right' and 'Absolutely' over and over. I don't think I want to work for you if you end the interview with 'Sorry, I am super busy, if you think this went well, just email me."
Play Janet Jackson's "Alright" on your way to work tomorrow and you will have a good day. Promise.
When you are going to your New Year's Eve parties tomorrow, keep this thought in the back of your mind......Be thankful we no longer live in a society that doesn't allow dancing, so tomorrow night, be happy with who you are with, be safe, don't be stupid and most importantly, dance out all of the anger and regret you have from 2010, I know I will. Jean Tuxedo and all. Happy New Year!
