Happy New Year! So the question of the year was..."what are you doin for New Year's Eve?" My goodness, I've never heard this question asked so many times. Kinda funny I think. This New Year's Eve started off kinda funky..... Kinda blah...I don't know if it's because we're older so it's just another year gone by, or whether we just had Christmas and all the hoopla that comes with it and we're just tryin to get over that. Whatever it was, this year no-one really had plans or was throwin a big ass house party or plannin to go to one of those extravagant parties where you gotta throw down 100 bucks just to GET IN...meanin you still gotta buy your drinks. In the past, i've gotten all decked out and gone out to a big party w/ the girls, gone to a house party and gotten drinks spilled on me left and right... So this year...I was actually just goin to kick it at home. But my girl was in town and she's never been out for New Year's so I was thinkin...where the hell can we go or do??

We actually ended up at a house party in HERCULES!!! YES!!! I said it... It just happened to be some friends of mine were goin to be there and well, since folks out here didn't know what they were doin...we headed out to the East Bay. Kinda funny...most peeps are always lookin to the city for the nightlife??? Just the opposite this year, at least for me. Welp we get out there and so far pretty cool.. Peeps aren't hella faded yet...pretty mellow..which was nice...You know how it is...when you get to a party and everyone is just TORE UP!!! It's no fun at least from my eyes...you can't have a decent conversation w/ the person and they're pretty much talking non-sense and spillin their drink left and right...I KNOW THIS first hand!!!!

As we walk in, the living room is set up w/ a DJ, drummer, and guitarists.. Pretty cool...we've got live music...Now that's a first!!! My friends actually started singing and playin some tunes..It's pretty cool to see folks just jam together and make up beats on the spot.. We walk towards the kitchen and there's a TV set up in the kitchen...I'm thinkin..ok cool..they've got movies playin...and man..there's just hella dudes watchin the tube in the kitchen..I take a look at the tube and see TITS...it's frickin PORN on the tube!!! HILARIOUS!!!! No wonder there's hella guys just posted... hahahahaha So we walk down to the split level room and this is where another DJ is set up w/ a guy makin drinks at the bar.... So far the set up is pretty cool...We walk out to the patio...and it's a dope ass backyard...I'm thinkin..maaaaaaaaaaan...you can have a wedding out here...that's how nice the landscaping was at this house..

Time goes on and more and more people start rollin through..and I thought i wouldn't know anyone at this party.New Year hits and everyone just starts cheering, toastin their drinks and huggin all around and you hear the champagne pop!!! It was great being around pretty cool people and just chillin...oh and by the way...I DID NOT YACK!!!! I was chillin...oh and note: you don't piss as much if you stick to drinking wine!!! I rang in the new year just chillin and not totally faded!!! Can you believe it.....I told you only 3-4 times a year!!! hahahhaha..I hope all of you had a wonderful new year's as I did and a safe one...I do have to admit...it did suck to have to drive back into the city after the party, not only the distance but to have to drive next to peeps who were swervin on the road comin from all the parties in the city...kinda scary....eek...I did get home safely thank god...but hopefully next time I'll just stay out and drive home the next day...when it's safer :)
