#83 “Doc, none of us could remember anything from last night. Remember?” Alan Garner - The Hangover 2009
Yes, its true. Some of us wake up feeling great, others wake up feeling a bit blue. Happy New Year! The question today… “Do you compete your New Year’s hangover?” As we bring in the New Year, celebrate with friends, family, acquaintances; and even those you really don’t know, can’t stand or don’t want to admit you know; its still the morning after. As we toast to a year full of new promises, broken resolutions and infamous media frenzy; the day has just started for some, and ultimately just ending for others.
Why are hangovers the catalyst to a celebration?
What is your limit? I mean literally. How can someone judge when they have just gone a little over the top? A little past the edge; a little through the breaking point? Alcohol brings out the best in some, the worst in others, and the best, fuzzy silk screen of a mirage, for those less, than do-able. I mean, don’t some people just look better after you’ve had a few? Don’t some people just seem more entertaining, more vibrant, more vivid, and yes; more appealing when the beer goggles are on?
“Ma’am, in the leopard dress, you have an incredible rack.” - Phil Wenneck
Was your night full of one-liners? Was your night set with a plan, a mission; a purpose? Did you succeed? Were you impressive? Is a night full of memories worth the next day full of the shakes; the headache, the disorientation, the clouded vision, and the munchies? If we can only be a fly on the wall and see how we acted last night; wouldn’t that be a trip?
“You probably get this a lot. This isn’t the real Caesar’s Palace is it?” - Alan Garner
As we approach a new year, with new purpose, new outlook, grander dreams, and infinite memories; we approach the day after New Years Eve, and we’ve put it to rest. Now that the deck is full and all the cards have turned over it is time to enjoy today; hung-over or not, laughter stricken with stories, or memories you wish were forgotten. Jump start 2010 and make it happen!
