Well I must start out by saying Happy New Year to all of you! Hope that you thought up some wonderful resolutions, and that all of you will have inspiration to fulfill them! I would love to hear about them. My resolution is to follow my dreams and to do the things I have always wanted to do, but kept making excuses not too (i.e. not enough time, money, resources; or whatever other lame excuse I could come up with).

My New Years: A short story by Yours Truly

I was nearly arrested, by ATF of all agencies, for something that wasn't even a crime! I was bartending a charity event when ATF busted in and started ruining the night! I was treated like a criminal, they confiscated all of our liquor and told us they were taking us all to jail. So I was detained until 11:45, when those barbaric idiots finally determined that we had a permit for the donated liquor that was raising money for a local charity. Unfortunately all the guests had been forced to leave, and were officially pissed since they had paid for their ticket in to an open bar and food. Apparently someone had told local authorities that the hotel that was hosting the event, and that the hotel did not have a liquor licensee. Long story short, people should mind their own fucking business, especially when they don't know all of the facts; and most of all law enforcement needs to stop treating people like they are criminals and be a little proactive in having some common fucking sense! Why would you harass the volunteer staff before you check with hotel management to determine if they have a permit or not! Why do my tax dollars pay for these bullshit agencies again?

There is however a happy ending... the charity still received the money that was raised from the ticket sales, and I didn't spend my new years in jail, I made my way to local venue to watch the ball drop!

I hope this doesn't indicate what I should expect for the rest of 2010.... hopefully since it happened prior to midnight, I will assume its the one last hoorah for 2009!
