Once all the thrills of Christmas begin to wear off, things start to change. Those delicious left-overs get polished off, we start to notice that the gadgets santa brought us really aren’t even that nifty, and we realize that it’s still the middle of winter. Stuff like that can really put a damper on your day, but you have to remember one important thing… New year’s eve is coming up.

Some people choose to honor the start of a brand spankin new year by making resolutions that may improve their quality of life. Others get black out drunk, and do moronic things. If you are like me, and fall into the latter category, then keep reading to find some pointers on how to make the most out of your new years eve. If not… Good luck hitting the gym every day, and shedding those 15 pounds!

1.Make sure to spend it with friends. Contrary to what this picture suggests, I mean spend it with your actual friends, not the cast of the popular 1990′s sitcom. (Unless, they are your real friends. In that case, then tell Jennifer Anniston that i still think she’s hot.)

2.Try NOT to see the ball drop. When the clock is nearing 12, if your still in a mental state that allows you to stand around watching TV, then you seriously have got to get your priorities in order. Think about it. There are so many more productive things to be doing: Chatting it up with members of the opposite sex. Heckling people smaller than you. Engaging in heated debates revolving around topics that you know little or nothing about. Making insincere promises of going out for breakfast the next morning with people you haven’t seen in a while… The list goes on! Remember, you only get one chance to welcome 2010, so manage your time accordingly.

3.Suggest that everyone at the party dedicates a drink to Michael Jackson. The gloved one was a loved one, and once the king of pop watches you throw one back in his honor from up above, he will no doubt send a romantic companion your way. Just make sure her age isn’t in line with his moral standards- Or you could be facing some serious jail time.

4. Be weird. As newton’s law states, the stranger things get the night before- the funnier it is the next morning! So go ahead, tell a chick you just met that you’ve had a crush on her since 6th grade. Inform strangers that your name is Goose McGillicuty, and that you invented furbys. Let your little sister see the light of 2009 one last time. Never stifle your inner eccentricity.

5. Our last little nugget of wisdom for the day is a quote from none other then our 9th, and my personal favorite, US president… None other then Mr. William Henry Harrison. Big will, as I call him, was quoted saying “Time spent contemplating the rationality of an idea is time wasted.” Thats right, don’t think, just go for it. Run through the party naked, acquaint yourself with the most repulsive girl there, do a glory dive across the beer pong table…. whatever you do, just have fun!
