Hola New Years

So hello everyone and Happy 3 hours and 5 minutes past new years. Because technically, it's only new years for one minute... which is really weird and cool at the same time.

Okay I think new years is completely pointless, seriously think about it this way.
This is a day where everybody stays up late and watch a big ball with light bulbs all over it go down a pole and when it gets to the bottom, they all clap and trash the streets with confetti, streamers, and balloons for a bunch of people to clean it up that night. And then everyone goes and gets drunk.

On the optimistic side it's a tradition that humans have used for years to really exaggerate the coming year, but have taken it a bit too far with the drinking and "ball".

One of the things that bothers me most is in fact the "ball".

it's almost like people let a ball determine time, and even if it is right it's retarded.
Seriously, a glittery lit up ball that everyone stares at for 10 seconds before they start their new year. I've never thought about it before. I really would like to know who came up with this idea. It's so pointless and weird, if you really think about it. Me going on about this is pointless, too because they are not going to stop using the "ball" on new years. Then again what's the point in a blog if not to express what you think.

Any who, let me tell you about my day. I didn't get much sleep last night at all. I stayed up until around 5 cause I couldn't fall asleep. I got up anyways and got ready for church. John taught and I really liked it. Then I came back to the Gunters' and slept for a long time and then kara and her dad went to the store and got a bunch of snaks for a "mini new years party" and I ate way too much. I swear I had food or drink in my mouth at least every minute or so. It's so awful. Any ways me and kara played with Seth some. Then we played cards and Monkey Ball. Then we watched the ball drop and make fun of some rap singers, which was amusing for a short while. Then new years was over and Kara, Britt, and me all came downstairs. Britt played Viva Pinita while kara and I watched. Then we all occupied ourselves with something. Hopefully I go to bed soon or I can fall asleep at least and not wake up at 2 in the afternoon. I've gotten into a habit of doing that this week.

So here's the Plans this week.
I go home from Kara's tommorow :[
I go back to school Wednesday :[
TCTC is this weekend :]

So here we are, resolutions.
1. At the end of this year I want to have some money saved up for a car.
2. I want to actually have a HAPPY new year.
3. I want to have my room redecorated at the end of this year.
4. I want to maintain my weight at 105-115
5. To read the Bible more often.
6. To start reading more often.
7. To blog or write in a journal at least 2 to 3 times a week.
8. To maintain a good grade point average.

So that's my song.
goodnight lovies.

haha Well I personally like the ball.
Yes it is pointless but look at most things that people do in life.. hunt easter eggs? Open presents from santa? So really it's just another thing.. I think the ball is pretty yes they could probably do something cooler and I would wish people did choose it as a day to get drunk and crap but besides that the ball is nice. :] It's a holiday were I don't have to spend any money and I get to look at pretty lights :]

well sadly you had to go home today :[ but you will be back

I love you!
