The wife and I went over to a neighbor’s for a NYE get-together. Everyone brings a appetizer, whatever you want to drink, and we played card and trivia games till about 5 till midnight. Then we turn on the TV to watch the ball drop.
Personally, I think we should of left it off and maybe shot off some fireworks at midnight.
I found the display at Times Square obnoxious. The level of advertisement, the amount of gaudy lights and distractions.
The “Ball,” was nearly lost in all that grotesque mess.
Ryan Seacreast (I know he is some kind of TV personality, but I think this is the first time I have ever actually knowingly seen him), and the troupe of people around him seemed vapid.
Thankfully, we all toasted our glasses, wished each other happy new year and then we went home to bed.
