While mindlessly scrolling through the infinite pages of Tumblr something entirely inconsequential, but also very interesting, caught my eye. Someone was making one of those super corny “send me a number corresponding to a question and I’ll answer it” things (which are entirely asinine but that’s a different subject completely) and the first item on their list was “What was the first thing you did in 2012.” That got me thinking about what my answer would be.
My initial thought was that I popped a cork and drank champagne from the bottle like a rapper, but then I remembered that we celebrated both central and eastern time in our cabin and that was the central time celebration. So what was the first thing I did in 2012 as the ball dropped on NYC? I was running around the room, specifically being chased around the room by a good friend and pretty girl, and ruckusly laughing as loud as my laugh would go; a picture of youthful joy and exuberance.
What a tone to set. Here’s to hoping that the coming days can be filled with that kind of living. Let’s have less stress and strain and more running around laughing because that is truly a good use of our days.
