Only a couple hours left in the workday and the weekend is here. Hopefully all the sunny weather the Bay has had the past week will hold up. It would be nice to get out and catch some rays, maybe exercise a little…maybe not.
I was thinking back to this past New Years Eve. PINK and I and some of my cousins and their families braved the crowds and decided to spend it at Disneyland. Even in the recession it was packed. People were camped out for hours in front and around that castle. It wasn’t the only spot where celebration stages were set up and everywhere you looked people were camped out jockeying for that perfect spot. We’d never done this before. Usually we’re at home or some indoor party watching Dick drop the ball on his Rockin’ NYE party. Never anything this big.
The GOOD:
1. We get to say that “We Did It.”
2. We hung out with family.
3. We got prime spot in front of the castle.
4. Lots of fireworks.
The BAD:
1. Camping out that long hurt my ass.
2. Shit got critical when people started arguing about their “spots”. Some people are either just ignorant and stupid or like to play stupid when they decide to fit themselves into the tiniest of open spaces no matter how uncomfortable they may be. There are some rules to this camping out thing and if you break them people won’t be shy about telling you to back the fuck up.
3. No celebrity performances, and an annoying host that was just too cheesy.
4. Mixes of Miley Cyrus with Jonas Brothers songs all night. WTF!? I thought I had died and because I had sinned God decided to hate on me. If the world were controlled by children, then this is the NYE celebration from hell that they would banish all their parents to.
5. Mickey didn’t come out and walk amongst all the people camping out. BOOO! Two thumbs down.
6. It was FUCKIN COLD. I’m still getting over the sickness I caught.
7. After all that camping out the Fog rolled in and totally swallowed the fireworks show. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…HAPPY NEW YEAR! Deflate….blah, FAIL.
Later,
GREEDY
