Goodbye Christmas

Well it is finally over, and now we can look forward to New Years lol.

Christmas was pretty much the same as every other christmas. A quick trip to the parents, some gifts exchanged, and some food in the belly. My presents were basically the same as every other year, some new socks, a shirt, a couple ties and a belt, and the bonus gift for the year from good old saint Nick was a new golf bag. I have wanted a new golf bag all year, but was just too lazy to go and get one. So I am very happy to have received this gift, and have already transferred my clubs and the other shite from my old bag over.

Christmas Eve turned out to be a pretty good one. It was the Crush Customer Appreciation party. Or as some prefer to call it "the come and have some free food and drink you single and sorry excuses for customers" party. It went over pretty well. There were only about 6 of us, but Brad and Corey took extra good care of us and ensured we were all well liquored before sending us on our way to Michaelangelos. Now this was only my second time at M.A. It is a small room with a few tables a few sofas and the sort. One of those places where all of the "tragically hip" and "artsy" people like to go, when they go slumming it. It reminded me a great deal of the basement bar at the Big Hunt in D.C. It had camoflauge webbing on the ceiling, and was very dimly lit. A great place to just chill out and get drunk and that we did. In tow were myself, Jessica, Soren, Andy Todd, and finally John. All drinks were on special for three bucks, so we drank them out of corona and made a good dent on the kokanee. The usual suspects, were all being extra suspect right in front of Andy, now it is a good thing he is a cool cop. Andy and Jessica seemed to hit it off pretty good. Maybe there will be handcuffs in her future lol.

After M.A it was off to the "a bar named sue" to listen to Soren play his old guitar and belt out a few numbers. And it was around this time that the old Primal Self Preservation Instinct kicked in. YES thats right PSPI, or you might have come to know it as "pulling a Newman". I walked the whole way from the Sue to my apartment, and because it was christmas eve I didnt even stop for pizza....damn. Now although people have been getting on my case over this primal instinct, I am grateful for it, because I am becoming well aware that nothing good ever comes after 2am. And even if it is good, it usually involves something bad. And from what I hear John and Jessica had a little tiff at around 2am, so I am glad I wasnt there cause god knows it would have been us, and then the vicious cycle would just start another lap. I guess I am growing up after all.

Well that just about sums it up. I was pretty impressed with my general lack of reflection this xmas season. I am really looking forward to 2007, and I think it is going to be a great year with plenty of positive changes, additions and deletions in my life, but we will talk about all that closer to the New Year.
