Tomorrow is New Years Eve, and many people put ridiculous amounts of pressure on themselves to have a blinder, figuring that the events of this night will shape their coming year.
This is bullshit. Let me state that again.
It's ALL BULLSHIT.
I mean if this was the case, any vaguely sensible person would probably have a healthy dinner, exercise, and get a good night of sleep.
What you've got to focus on is that regardless of the alleged status of the night, it is just another night.
Go out and do whatever it is that makes you happy. If it's sitting in front of the playstation and having a laugh with friends, drinking yourself unconscious, or walking the streets seeking adventure like i will be, then do that.
Don't stress yourself if you didn't make the guest list to some exclusive party, they're all wankers anyway.
Forget about your friends if they are all being lovey-dovey with their various boys and girls, bugger it, there's a million people out there and you never know whose paths you will cross on this night.
Or any night.
Toast your absent friends if you must, but do not mourn they are where they are meant to be, regardless of where they are. For this night, and any night, you should just believe. In ghosts, spririts, God, Heaven, Hell and whateever takes your fancy. There is no perfect night, we'll each have a different one.
What you make of it is what is going to be uniquely yours forever. No-one else will see what you do, because we all see things in different ways. No one else will have your thoughts. Rejoice in this little moment of selfishness. Rejoice in your opportunity to share this night.
I'm now going to sleep in preparation of a night of Excitement! Adventure! ™ with massive drug abuse, running from cops, and seeing the sun come up between the heads of Sydney Harbour.
If anyone is stupid enough to help clog our phone network, feel free to call and remember i get the New Years before most of you because i deserve it :) (+11GMT)
