New Years Traditions

What kind of New Years traditions are out there?
    People from Denmark jump off chairs at the strike of midnight, others blow on kazoo's and shoot fireworks....And some just sleep right through new years eve.


      A very fascinating tradition is the Christmas  tree burning. On New Years eve they stand the tree upright on the beach pour on the gasoline and watch it shoot a 8 ft flame into the sky ( depending on the height of the tree).
       And then there's the nuts in Alaska and back east.... they sit in a hot spa for an hour and then jump into a hole in the ice! I don't know how that works but I'm guessing the cold water shock keeps them from feeling anything... or many they had some kind of vodka stash next to that spa of theirs! If your fascinated with this idea you should enter into you tube "Moose Riding" it should come up. Somewhere back in Finland or Sweden a man manages to get drunk and decides " I'm going to ride that swimming moose out on the freezing lake!" So they get two boats out and a guy with only his trunks on manages to leap onto the moose and get an ice cold ride!
For New years in salt lake city they probably don't go carousing around... considering that their mostly Mormon and drink root beer ( no offense please!). Apparently whenever a bar opens in that city, the Mormons manage to close it down, and another bar takes it place and they close that one down too! But I have no problem with that, it probably sorts through the people coming into town. Hey man I like root beer!


      Others go out of the "no shooting zone" and shoot pumpkins and all sorts of interesting targets.


          One thing everyone can agree on about the Holidays, is that the cops are viciously on patrol pulling people over left and right.... and it's no fun seeing other people or yourself getting pulled over by a over suspecting highway patrol officer.
   One of the worst cop city's on the Holidays is driving from Santa Cruz to San Francisco. Cops are shooting their little lights on everywhere... Its awful, people just want to live their lives and their aren't that many dangerous drivers as the highwaymen make out.
   But, back to New years I hope 2012 goes good for everyone! And believe me a few things might change, but I personally think we still have a ways to go for the end of the world. I think this year definitely is a milestone for the world and I'm sure the banker like schemers intend to execute their plans...
   Aside from that I think we've had very nice weather in Santa Cruz!
   Happy New year!
     Cheers all around!
           :)

A knife in the dark

If you really thought about it, a knife in the dark could mean a lot of things, someone stumbling along a dark alley called "The World" poking at the darkness of reality, or seeing someone else's knife can instigate fear. Its a mystique phrase filled with suspense and hidden danger, just who exactly is carrying this glinting piece of steel? And what kind of thrilling mystery did you take this line from?       A title to anything, a novel, a computer game, an essay must catch the readers eye and bring that eyeball down to the text below. Anything abstract, well worded, brainy, or has hidden meanings causes a person to take interest, or at least stop for a few seconds to read the phrase.To some it could be some kind of elvish dagger held by an unknown elf, and just maybe the text below holds something worthwhile about "Lord of the rings". Or perhaps they are into mystery and goth and they are intrigued.      Of course the point of the ti...

Impromptu story writing

I am sure that a few readers are aware of Toastmasters, people who read part of a story, and make up the rest, spinning a story as they go in front of a group of people with no paper, just sheer words from the brain. It can be a very impressive and amusing performance.       There is another specie of this particular task, known as impromptu story writing, where one takes a single word, phrase, picture or beginning and  writes and finishes it under a time limit.It can be rather grueling depending on the subject or the object of the story.       I have decided to try some impromptu creative writing late at night. I have concluded that the quickest way to come up with some subjects I must add is to start with the season. Here are the subjects that I must base my story off of or at least add.               New Years, Santa Claus, and Christmas tree. Bingo! Now I know a few may not trust my word to stayi...

The weekend

What do most people look forward to in an average day to day life? Some work at least four to five days a week, at a job or school or maybe even their own business ( when you have your own business its twice as hard to only work four days a week and not seven!). For many, the only thing to look forward to is the weekend when perhaps they can get plenty of things done or actually enjoy themselves for once!      There are a few very important days of the working week. Monday is the start of a new week and some people really plow through that day with a yoke. Tuesday isn't as bad knowing that there is a day behind you and now the count is down to three days. Wednesday is so so. But Thursday is the anticipation of Friday which is the anticipation of an unexplored weekend.            And here we are at Friday, perhaps the most exciting day of the week. Friday is the day of "anticipation and hope" that maybe this particular weekend will stand ou...
