My Bandana of Smiley Faces will lead the way to a rant... maybe... -_-;; The new year is almost upon us!.. of course by the time I update again, it'll be after the new year.. so bask in the event by sitting at home safely and away from strange people and drunks... seriously.. I'm not joking... sure it may seem like fun to crawl into the bitter cold night to party and at midnight kiss some stranger who may be carrying herpes, mono or some other sickening disease...and then trepse back home in hopes that you can find a cab or if you even have a designated driver because you wanted to drink yourself under the table.. in which case, you'll be under the table with your legs hiked and several guys having a circle jerk around your face... bringin' in the new year with a face and mouthful of cum... that's not a good thing dammit, especially when you know that none of those drunken bastards have a condom so they're riding bareback... is that what you want?... sometime in september you have some bastard kid that you never wanted because you decided to go out on new years!?... it's sick and wrong!... I see the new year as a mini christmas... a time where you get away from relatives and together with friends and watch the marathons that come on or just kick back and relax while you wait for the ball to drop on the TV and count down together and shout happy new year... no random gropings from strange men that would end in rape while everyone thinks the two of you hooked up... none of that odd shit... just a get-together with people you care about and trust and bring in the new year in a relaxed and safe environment... no chance of getting into an accident if you drank one too many, or getting hit by a drunken driver... no odd disease from a strange man/woman as you kiss at midnight... just something wholesome and fun... Yeah, I know that my ideals for a good new years party may be too wholesome or outdated... but I don't give a damn... sometimes it's best to look at things from a different perspective... a safe perspective brought on by years and years of cautious paranoia... it sounds odd, it sounds old timer-ish... and hell.. I don't want kids on my lawn either... but regardless... sometimes it's best to play it safe when you can... "know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" sorta thing... anyhow... go drink some hot cocoa and leave the alcohol alone... and have a safe new year... - Tiki Man
