The Ball's Supposed To Drop, Silly

And so, we close the calendar year that was 2006. In the last few weeks or so, I debated (and subsequently opted against) purchasing a webcam, digital camera, and video camera. Imagine what that would have done to the whole alleged web log experience. Fortunately (or unfortunately), we're just going to stick to the sporadic postings now and again. As far as December was concerned, I did my unfair share of traveling. It included my annual trip to the United Center in Chicago to watch Illinois basketball, and, of course, there's the whole "home for the holidays" thing. I managed to score tickets to the Braggin' Rights Illinois-Missouri basketball game, too, so I had my first non-baseball season Saint Louis experience. I would write more... really, I would. I usually write something long around New Year's. But that's the thing... I also try to come up with New Year's Eve plans as well, and this year will not be eventless. Just like two years ago, I will be flying over to be at the party taking place in Times Square. So, look for me on TV, and, call me. Or, I'll call you. Or, call me to tell me to call you. And, have fun ringing out the old and ringing in the new! Oh, and while I have your attention, I don't think I've formally proclaimed it here, but I've officially denounced "friendster.com" from my online social network timewasters. Okay, "denounced" isn't the right word... it's more "no longer supported". My online social network timewasting is now devoted to facebook.com and myspace.com, though, the former is easily the website of choice. And in other "choicy" news, in the last two months, my business card was drawn, scoring me free food at two different dining establishments. Surprise, surprise. In case you plan on pausing all Times Square footage and examining it frame by frame to look for me... and you don't want to, um, call me up and say, "hey, Brian, um, cough, um, what are you wearing?" I'll help you avoid the awkward situation and tell you that I will be wearing an orange t-shirt and khakis. At the time of this typing, headwear was not determined. Feel free to not tell me what you're wearing... unless you think I think it's cute/awesome/whatever. I figure most of you know what types of things will make me cry on the inside. Or the outside. Alright, kids... that's it for 2006. Um, Sweet Goodness. Out. (Ha.)
