Happeeeee New Year

Checking in folks ....

I took a Christmas break ...
Actually I ate, I partied and then I slept
Yup -slept for most of the Christmas break
I slept so much that I got sick as soon as the New Year hit
Flu season -I guess
Fever, cough, colds and the body aches of an old man
What a way to start the year

Anyhoooooooooo
It was a fun New Years eve despite ...
Ate dinner at one of my fave places
Had an arroz caldo "media noche" ...
Playfully dodged firework debris as the skies lit up
Then drove to my sister-in-laws house for a party that lasted till the morning

My 1st profound thought of the year came from the manufacturers of the party poppers that we used as part of the evenings celebrations
"Party poppers" are cylindrical hand held devices that spray multi-colored confetti into the air when you turn the knob at the bottom of the cylinder
It is a wonderfully playful party effect
Imagine confetti - popping or spraying from a cylinder ....
















Popping or spraying from a cylinder ...
Uhmmmmm - if I had a Freudian mind - I would say that that is almost pornographic
But we are better than that - right?
More educated
Not so intellectually lewd
Right?

Well -the manufacturers of the party popper played safe
They put a warning as part of the instructions - just in case your mind and thoughts might meander down the green green path of pleasure
Ladies - pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase - be careful
















"DO NOT FIT THE SPRAYER PRIVATELY"
Hahahahaha - happeeeeeee new year
Wooohoooooooooooooooooooooo

Hey Sid,
Welcome back.
Hope you had a good holiday break.
Just caught your Black Nazarene pics ... great great shots - as usual.
FYI - I posted a "veggie" entry on my December 12 post that might interest you.

hey, guy! good to see you back. hope you're a lot better now. i hate having the flu. which i have, too. should've gotten the shots last oct/nov. what's worse is, after the temperature's gone - you still have the sniffles and sometimes, the congestion, even. disgusting.

so the phil is starting to put disclaimers on their products now? are they trying to copy the stupid "politically correct" crap from the US? also, would love to find out if someone, actually, *fit the sprayer privately.* HAHAHA!

anyhoodles... have a rockin 2008!
