Well, here we are in the future, and I’m thinking that the numbers 2007 together look fairly awkward.  I mean, it just looks ungainly.

So, seems to me that, just based on its numeric appearance, this year will probably have a chip on its shoulder, or something to prove. Works for me.

See, 2006, with its curlicue loops and smooth turbo handling was a prom queen of a year.  It had a gleam in the eye and a sparkle in the teeth.  It got all dressed up in its best, introduced you to its parents, and hung on your arm while you bought it an expensive meal.  It treats you great for the first 4/5ths, but then just pulls the rug out afterwards by telling you its pregnant or something.

Not a good thing, by any stretch of the imagination.

No, I propose we take advantage of 2007’s awkwardness by giving it the ugly stepsister treatment, we’ll convince it that it doesn’t have any friends but us, and that if it screws us over, it’ll spend the rest of the year crying and writing bad poetry in its bedroom.

Yeah, thats the ticket.

I’m happy to announce that I suffered no ill effects of last nights shenanigans, and that all three of us had an amazingly good time.  Thanks for the invite to the party, party people.

I was introduced to several new folks, got to meet friends that I’ve had for a while, but never met in the flesh, and got to hang out with some old friends like Netmom, Daco, and his wife.  The kids ran around upstairs like wild hooligans, getting all caffeine’d up and partying like freaks.  I got a text message from a friend at 1:00 AM that really made my night, and I discovered that the owner of the house has one of the same series of 400 frog paintings that my mother has.  Freaky stuff indeed.

Thanks, it was a blast, and I couldn’t have ended last year better, or started this one better.  It was awesome, rock on 2007.

One thing that was told to me last night was “It can’t get much worse”.  Uh, yeah, it can.  It can get a LOT worse.  So, lets not tempt fate, eh?

Today MastaG, Pigpen, and I are having a movie day.  We watched “The Cat in the Hat” earlier, which was an abomination, but one that Pigpen enjoyed.  We’re now finally getting around to watching ‘Superman Returns’, which I’m enjoying immensely.  I love the detail put into making this seem like one of Donner’s movies.  Woot for detail.

Happy new year, folks.  While I wouldn’t say “it can’t get much worse”, I’d be glad to say “Lets hope it gets a lot better!”

That way, we take it by surprise…
