I know! The talking head on television have been spouting all of these rumors that all the major airlines are heading for bankruptcy and we'll see the end of the era in freedom of commercial travel. I seriously doubt it, and it's not the best excuse for the price hike. I think it's an evolving greed in the airlines. They had to make things dirt cheap to get people to fly after 9/11 and had to pay to bump up the security, but they were still making money. Every year a business doesn't double or triple in size, business analysts mistake it as a recession and the stock market starts bottoming out as everybody panics. Everything gets more expensive, and it may come back down a bit later before it surges up again, but it's constantly going up. It's irritating.

Whew! I'm getting into a lot of rants today. It must be all the caffeine I've had :P.

...if anyone wants to ring in 2009 right (in abstinence)

That's how I ring in all the New Years... I think; 2007 is a bit hazy.

Haha yeah, I think massive amounts of booze messes with the the New Years Sex. Last year I was at the Flaming Lips show in OKC and I was too cheap to buy $5 3.2 beer, so I didn't have a drink until 1am that night when I got home. It was weird to be blind-stinkin' sober on New Years. Either way, I still can't remember if I got laid :).
