It seems like everyone celebrates the New Year. They gather with friends, family, or their significant other to eat, drink, and bring the next year. Their is usually much food, music, hugginga, and if you happen to be with the right person perphaps even a kiss at twelve midnight.
Not so much in my family though, we really arn't all that festive...we're just not. I love my family they are a simple one, with no need of huge gatherings or big celebrating for anything perphaps other than Thanksgiving, which if you ask me is rather good, since i love to eat, and my mom totally rocks at cooking:D...but last night wasn't thanksgiving so thats beside the point.
Out of my family i think i'm the most festive, and most inlinded to celebrate anything and everything. Now perphas last night came about because we were in a different contry and since everything was pretty much closed we felt the need to do something and that would be new years i guess... i don't know.
We did new Years last night... i thought it was rather awkward. Is that bad? It's weird when your the only one enthused about something, or at least the only one in your group, which last night was my mom and brother. (dad was sick, so he went to sleep, poor guy) we were given a recommendation to go to the olympic park, we didn't really know what the hell we were looking for, we just sorta went and followed the crowd. Now this already felt strange for a few reasons. One, because it felt forced, we don't do this sort of thing and whether or not we are, i know its not a big deal to anyone in my family...not in a bad way but it's just not...and two because i was still trying to process the idea of not being in Iraq anymore, i sorta catch myself staring off into the distance, or marvling at stupid things like all the groceries in a store.
Anyway, we ended up going up this tower they had atthe park, sorta like the space needle...from there you could see the entire city it was cool, and when twelve midnight hit you the entire skyline lit up from firworks everywhere, i've never seen anything like it. This show went on for at least a good ten to fifteen minutes...at least...
i mean what else do i say?...then we just came back and went to sleep...like i said, our family doesn't do new years...hopefully today we'll go to this famous indoor beer gerden in Munich, I'm really excited. oh yeah, an i normally don't really make new years resolutions...i think i've got a few...ie figure out what the hell God whats me to do with my life...or at least the next few years of it...and the whole sailors mouths has got to go, i'm SO not proud of it...thats just a start.
and who knows maybe ill get better at this whole blogging thing...
