some of you are seeing the chemical brothers... and I'm doing an ordinary old nye.. nice... hopes it's top notch!!

cheers, happy new year!

hhmmm just got home from my new years bash. probably the earliest i've come home from nye in the last 15 years!



dont know it getting more strange as im getting older. i've been very focused on making sure i have been with my friends the last few years. but i have been thirty something for three years now. and every year it seems to change. my best friends didn't come out for the first time this NYE, cos they have 2 children now. another couple of friend who i was with got very emotional tonight cos their having their first child and it was probably their last nye with everyone. i just feel like i'm getting on a bit these days. i want to hold on to the life i've had for the past decade, but things around me are changing which are out of control. i said to my girlfriend tonight that next year we should go to tunrmills next year. get back to basics. but i dont know i am a bit lost at the mo.



wish i had been there tonight. i really hope chem'd up made it tonight also.



mmmm time out from the ramblings of a drunk old man

NYE at home for me. I suppose this might show the differing perspectives of the forum in that I'm still not really old enough to be partying much, as opposed to sneaker's 30-something end-of-party-days (Though on that, I have to say, there's no real reason why 30-something-yo's even with kids and families can't do something on NYE).

:\



About to watch City of God. I hope it lives up to the acclaim for me.

sneaker, I figure you are probably asleep right now but I just want yo to know, I know exactly how you feel. It is strange, it's a mixed bag of feelings. I'll be 35 next month and when I stop and think about it, it freaks me out that I'm about 5 years from 40 - then what? But then I stop and think, and life is pretty good - I could be a lot worse off so what am I so freaked out about. It's weird how when you get older you just sort of... open a new chapter of your life without even knowing it until you stop and think one day. While it is a nice thing to want to hold on to the last decade (those golden years)... and god knows I do all the time... the important thing is to hang on to these awesome memories because when we're really really old, that's all we're going to have. It's hard being an adult sometimes, and it's hard being a parent and I can see why your friend became emotional, I feel for your friend.... It's scarey knowing that soon you'll be responsible for caring for another life and it's such a massive, life altering responsiblility. But one of the most rewarding too. It is awesome because you realize love's full potential when you're seeing it through the eyes of your own flesh and blood.



But the thing is, you just have to keep on keepin on, get back to basics as you put it and enjoy life when life decides to spare you some time. It's all you can do, and it will help keep you grounded and in touch. You need to be happy, everyone deserves a chance at being happy. Your friends with kids, too. These things like getting old and becoming parents - it doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying your life, it just means that the enjoyment is... less capricious. You make the most of it when you can, and build new memories is all.



Shit. I'm in babble-mode. I need a drink!

There are a few reasons why it becomes harder to get out on NYE when you're older and especially when you have kids. It's a matter of getting caught up in a rut to make ends meet. Then your friends move on and do their own thing and the whole social dynamic is altered. And when you have kids, it changes everything. Before our son came along we used to get in the car and go - we'd end up where we'd end up, and we'd get home when we'd get home, we'd bring friends along or meet new ones along the way. That approach worked for us 10 years ago but doesn't quite fly nowadays. Now getting a night off without our son takes quite a bit of planning.



There is a reason why I'm not in London right now. It got me down when I had to face facts I wouldn't be there, but I'm OK with it now and glad there's people I care about who are out having a great time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!



I hope everyones night was fantastic! Not a big night for me unfortunately...was in bed by 2 'cos I was planning on going to work at 7 but I slept in and didn't make it. Opps!



Hope turnmills went off like a frog in a sock! Can't wait to read the stories later! :P



YAY its 2007 and all that jazz..... 8)

a really ordinary nye here too, with friends. Alcohol, music, now we're playing Wii Sports :) Pretty cool

Well fuck me twice, the original thing is in spanish... I didn't realize.

Anyways, it was very very good. The most unglorifying display of violence I've ever seen.

Rock on kwiddle and Ben_j, the Wii is currently in full effect here at myu house.



Flaming Dead, City of God's a good flick, but it was so bleak and a very emotional thing to watch. Fantastic film though, I couldn't stop thinking about it for days afterward.

Spent NYE with the fam. Had a few cousins aunts and uncles over. Didnt get wasted like i wanted to, but then again i wasnt feel the greatest today.

Looks like the Wii was rockin everyones NYE party. My grandpa whos soon to be 92 was playing Wii bowling tonight. X-D



HAPPY NEW YEARS!

It's a really normal NYE here... coked to the gills and watching my mom play Rayman on the wii at 1am... w00t!



god, I wish I was in london.

Now that's something I'd like to read a review of...

Fuck off! I was drinking some Coke here, when I read this... The result: Coke flying out of my nose, messing all my room! X-D

Aye New Years was pretty standard this year for me, just took it easy, really wanted to get out there and do something but that didnt happen. I had a laugh with a few friends drinking and playing the Nintendo Wii with some music and things, then i went on up to another friends house then home. Pretty standard. I envy the Turnmills crew. ;-) X-D

Boring...but all right new years for myself.....

watched a bunch of old movies. drank a few. talked to my folks. went to bed at three.

really didn't feel like doing much since the last 2 weeks have been either working 10-16 hour days at 2 jobs or christmas socializing. So it was a nice quiet night for me.

I didn't think I would be doing anything excitingly great but I ended up going to a FANTASTIC new years bash at the place of one of my best friends. it was cool, I dreamt I was seeing the brothers, but I had a lovely evening nonetheless -- lots of chems and such when I got back

have you read blood meridian? one of the most brilliant books I've ever read -- the innovative use of language just blows me away. I like words, they mean a lot to me :P
