#15 On Happy New 2009?

Actually. That title is a lie, since it's the only 2009 that were gonna get.
But yeah, happy new years followers, all seven of you.
And to people that read, but don't follow, a less happier new year, it doesn't take much to get a blogger account, and it'd be useful, since I'd then know who you are.

So anyways, New Years Eve was good, had a rave, people who were there, you know all about it. People who weren't, there are pictures on facebook or something.
So now, a picture, and from the 1st page of google images for the word 'rave'.
And that, was our party.
Various people got shitfaced, as they always do.
I wasn't one of the, which surprised the hell out of me, I was sure I was gonna end up on the floor.

And now, for the part of my blog, where I use my brain, and discuss things with myself, and really, I was thinking, what exactly is the deal with new years, I mean, why celebrate it at all?!
And the 'new year' that we have is only the new year in the Gregorian calender anyway.
And did you know, It took quite a long time before 1 January again became the universal or standard start of the civil year. The years of adoption of 1 January as the new year are as follows:

Country	Start year
Venice	1522
Sweden	1529
Holy Roman Empire (Germany)	1544
Spain, Portugal	1556
Prussia, Denmark[6] and Norway	1559
France	1564
Southern Netherlands[7]	1576
Lorraine	1579
Dutch Republic	1583
Scotland	1600
Russia	1700
Tuscany	1721
Britain and British Empire except Scotland	1752
Thailand	1941

Also, wiki decided to leave some links in for you, so you can see all about the countries too :P

How quaint.

New years also plagues us with the concept of new years resolutions, things that you decide that you want to (but probably won't) do.
I've given up on making resolutions, unless they're fun ones. Like my one for this year, which is to have more fun.
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do a resolution.
And I have a feeling that I'm going to keep good to that one.

And while we are on the subject of fun. People say that you can have too much, now that I do not agree with. For example, Joe practically broke his calves (raving) at the new years party, but still managed to get to second base (for baseball metaphor's for sex, see blog #12), see, that's not too much fun, in fact, if you ask him, he probably won't comment. So there.
When I think of fun, I go google, and see what they suggest (I also have a picture quota to fill, 'cause just writing is boring).
Actually, no, some of that stuff is just weird, search fun on google images at your own peril people.
Strangely on the first two pages. A lot of maths related things.

But for all of you, wanting pictures, marvel at THIS:

Remember all those times people told you to go to pen island, you not knowing that it said penis land. Well, penis land is real everyone, and that, is my proof.

Anyway, no heating in my house + typing = numb hands.

Hoping you all have a good year and such.
