I hope this year is better than the past few. I am really starting to believe that New Year’s Eve is one of the most overrated holidays, that and maybe Valentine’s Day…….bleh!

at any rate, I’m going to take my 11-year-old nephew, Shawn’s infinite wisdom of: ‘I don’t know what the big deal is, it’s just another night and just another day. We go to sleep and wake up just the same, all we gotta do is change the date just like every other day.’

Since I spent the beginning of 2005 hanging with him, playing WAR, and UNO, watching him play Halo on Xbox online (so way cool), and hitting a hockey game that the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies won 3-0…

I’m thinking he may have the best advice in dealing with the whole hoopla of NYE.
