Happy New Year’s

Quit being a cheap ham and egger and hire a driver to drive your drunk ass about town. Next thing you know, your big, giant, fat, head is split down the middle–through the windshield–because you wanted to operate the automobile whilst drinking 40 ounces of malted liquor.

I hope everyone enjoys the New Year’s festivities. If you had a bad year, sweep it under the old 2014 rug and start anew tomorrow. I am very ritualistic on New Year’s eve, for it is the night of renewed hope and reaffirmed commitments.

I can’t believe it’s 2015 already. I remember New Year’s eve, 1999, like it was yesterday, hauling the fucking gallons of water up the stairs, for Mrs. Fly, who actually believed all of the computers were going to melt down because the number “2000” was too much of a burden for our antiquated computers to handle (cue visions of giant IBM computers circa 1955). Me, being a regular jackass, went to go buy them to make her feel happy, safe, and like I gave a crap about clean water and living in a post apocalyptic world.

She doesn’t know what you already know. “The Fly” WAS FUCKING BORN TO LIVE IN A POST APOCALYPTIC ERA, ONE THAT ESCHEWED STRONG MEN AND TRIBAL LEADERS, A TIME WHEN A MAN WITH AN ORBITAL SPACE CANNON (OSC) WOULD REIGN SUPREME AND ALL FELLOW FINANCE BLOGGERS BOWED DOWN TO HIS SUPREME, YET ELEGANT, RULE.

Happy New Year’s.

    I remember sitting on the floor in a technical center waiting for midnight and year 2000. All that happened is one minor PC fax program (that we never used and mostly forgot) failed to update the clock.

    Now, I think a lot of folks would not mind too much if a New Year’s glitch deleted all those social media posts and information mining data files.

    In the predicting time of year, I predict my hope for this (and every) New Year, that we create a more civil planet (from the comments section of the internet, to the line at the grocer, to not-blowing-ourselves-up-on-each-others’-buses due to perceived differences), is destined to come up (quite) short. But again I hope.

    Happy New Year to every member of the iBC clan, but especially its fearless leaders. A toast to tomorrow.

    I remember New Year’s Eve 1999 as well.

    Huge party at my parents’ house, and my dad snuck outside to flip the main breaker right at midnight. Everyone freaked out for a good 5 seconds.

    Best to all and hoping 2015 is a better year for everyone.

    Losing money is nothing compared to losing someone you love. Hope you lose neither in the year to come and only gain more of both.
