I admit to staying in on New Years for the following reasons:
1.I was supposed to be in Sousa DR, but changed plans at the last minute and postponed the trip until JetBlue offers direct service into Puerto Plata. The rescheduling costs me 100 bucks, but a cab ride to and from would have cost me about 2 hundred, so it worth it to do so.
2.I never really have a good time going to a party and not drinking. What with so many cops on the road and the use of roadblocks or checkpoint, a DUI is a real possibility and it might as well be a felony conviction with the crap that the police put you through.
3.The Amateur Night Experience: We see examples of it with a different spin in the DR when a newbie show up. Everything is done to excess in the pursuit of making the holiday memorable, but the clown often over does it and punks on his shoes.
4.I normally plan not to party on holidays I consider to be prone to the Amateur Night Experience such as New Year Eve, St. Paddies Day, Halloween, Madre Gras, the 4th of July etc.
5.The best times I have spent on holidays just worked out that way. For instance, a one night stand who doesn’t want to spend NYE alone comes over to share her womanly charm with me on the spur of the moment versus the time a hunting buddy and I planned to go to Boys Town from his hunting camp near Nuevo Laredo on NYE, just to find out most of the hookers went home for the holidays and those that were left were doing assembly line type business.
6.It seems like New Years Eve is almost a strictly couples experience and that if you aren’t with someone, you are in the minority. I imagine this harkens back to lots of chicks insuring they get a date for NYE?
7.It’s like your birthday. You are supposed to be happy you are another year older?
I don’t know, maybe I am just a party pooper, but holidays like that just don’t hold a lot of magic or meaning for me. Any thoughts on the matter?
All that having been said, I would like to wish everyone a Happy & Prosperous New Year
