OK, soooo… I always wanted to be in Times Square for the countdown, and this being my first time in New York in new year’s I decided to go down to Times Square on Wednesday afternoon and stand there for hours till 12. I was so excited that finally I was going to experience it, among all of the people that were already there taking their place in the middle of Times Square and around, shivering to the freezing temperatures, and seeing snow fall on their cold faces.
Sadly, the weather didn’t permit me stay there more than an hour, so I decided to take off, get warm, and get some pizza. It was very cold and it was snowing hard at times. The weather was just not helping the cause. A lot of people also decided to rain-check on the whole new year’s on Times Square deal. It was just too cold. I don’t know how people stood there for hours without converting into ice sculptures. I had a good spot too, right on the middle of it all.
Maybe next time the weather is not going to be as crappy, and this time I know to really pack on those extra layers of clothing to keep me warm. Also, I hope I will actually have someone to kiss on fucking new year’s!
I rang in the new year at some bar in Hell’s Kitchen, drunk as usual. Went home kinda early. I wasn’t feeling it. 2008 was something else. Hopefully 2009 will be rocking.
Anyway, Happy New Year’s bitches!
I give you credit for at least trying to spend New Years in Times Square. Maybe next year things will cooperate better. You should have stayed in St. Louis and hung out with my friends and me. We had a great time!
Well at lease you weren’t in a stairwell… That’s where I was…all by myself.
