New Year's Eve Discussion

Re: New Year Resolutions

My New Year's Resolution is to learn alchemy.

Then again...
 
Re: New Year Resolutions

Sorry, but I have to question the point of New Year's Resolutions, and New Year's in general.

Why celebrate a certain point in time? Nothing significant happened on January 1st at 12:00 am. Why exactly is it celebrated? What is the point of deciding to change your lifestyle because it's a new year? Besides, does anyone ever follow through on those goddamn things? Check back with me in July and tell me if you followed through on any of your resolutions.

As for celebrating an arbitrary point in time, why celebrate a new year? Why not a new month, a new week, a new day, et cetera? Nothing important happened. For me, I celebrate on July 14 at 1:56 pm because of my birth. I celebrate on November 13 at 5:03 pm because I joined the Wiki then. New Year's day? No reason for me.

And finally, Times Square in New York. Do any of you have any desire whatsoever to be crammed with a million people for hours and hours just to celebrate a random point in time? Is there any purpose? And what if you have to take a piss or crap? Where you gonna do that? Food? No way to move around to get food. It's ridiculous and stupid. Almost as dumb as Valentine's Day.

And when February 14th comes around, I'll dig into that, too.

You need a reason to get drunk and do stupid shit?

Somebody went to Catholic school.

It's a little thing called "tradition". You know, the basis for every holiday that's not your birthday.

I decided to listen to Bas Rutten's advice, and eat raw vegetables and fruit instead of junk food, and drink water instead of soda, so I can be big and muscular.
 
Re: New Year Resolutions

Well, I do like getting dunk off my ass. However, most of the New Year's stuff is pointless. Why don't we celebrate every new month? I think we shouldn't have school today in honor of the new month! Continuing, I have a few things in your posts to challenge. 1) I didn't attend a Catholic school; the only private school I ever attended was my Jewish preschool. 2) I was just using my birthday as an example. I enjoy April 1st, July 4th, October 31st, Thanksgiving, and all the religious holidays, just to name a few. But really, do your resolutions ever work? Is there a point in celebrating the clock continuing to move forward, like it has for billions of freaking years? No. Is there a point in celebrating an exodus from Egypt, or the independence of a nation? Yes.
 
Re: New Year Resolutions

Wrong. I love to have a good time. However, the Times Square stuff is pointless. Celebrating a point in time at which no significant event took place, jammed in with millions of strangers, most of whom are wannabes who only wanna be (:lol:) on TV is stupid.

All in all, Canada sucks.
