New Years Eve, Hockey, and Blue Moon

Tonight was New Years Eve.  It has not been a holiday that I have ever really celebrated too heavily. 

One of my fondest memories of NYE was when 3 families got together in a few adjoining hotel rooms.  We ate pizza and went swimming and played games and laughed a lot.  I was actually having an instant message conversation with one of the kids (man now) who was with me at that event. 

One of the other fond memories of NYE was again in a hotel room but this was now during my college years.  The group of 6 guys and 6 girls that hung out together ended up all staying together in a hotel room with two double beds....do the math...not a lot of prethought in that planning.  What made it even better was the supporting cast (the other drunk hotel guests) that we all randomly made friends with.  I believe there was some sort of Lola Falona character....Jen...if you are reading this blog I'm hoping you have my back....

New Years Eve these past few years means attending a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game.  We get to watch a hockey game (always better if they win) but even if they don't win it still means hanging out next to our good friends who have seats next to ours.  We enjoy it but I think we may be getting a little old now since the screeching and very drunk girls behind us were incredibly annoying.  The Canes lost but it was a good game to watch and I had fun hanging out with everybody...well...not the screeching girl...

Tonight was the second of the full moons that make up a blue moon.  The first was on December 2nd...I was in Singapore and it was rainy and cloudy so I didn't get to see the moon.  Now I am back in the States and the second of the full moons occurs tonight...alas...it was again rainy and foggy so no such luck in seeing it this time.  Does this mean that whatever good that was supposed to happen due to the blue moons didn't because I couldn't physically see them?  This is very distressing to me because these things only happen once in a blue moon and I fear I have lost some opportunities because I didn't see either of the moons.  Is there anyone out in my blogdom that knows more about this than I?

I wish everyone a happy 2010.
I wish everyone a short transition from writing 200910.
I wish everyone a speedy decision on whether to call it 'two thousand and ten' or 'twenty ten'.
I wish everyone a 2010 with less celebrity gossip...at least less of the annoying infidelity kind.
In 2010, I wish everyone less peas and more bacon and more chocolate covered pretzels.
In 2010, I wish everyone prosperity.
I wish everyone loads and loads and loads of laughter...and laundry...I love doing laundry.
In 2010, I wish myself some more interesting travels and experiences so that I may blog them all to share with you.
I wish everyone will try to rekindle the joy in traditional letter writing and mailing things via the post office.
In 2010, I wish everyone experiences more than one beautiful and amazingly colorful sunrise/sunset.
In 2010, I wish everyone the opportunity and courage to try something new...small or large...just try it.
I wish everyone love.
