Starting the New Year On the Right Foot.

After a successful NYE celebration, and the basement all to myself, I saw a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale left over. I figured, why not? Just one more before I went to bed. There wasn't a bottle opener in my immediate area. And I did not want to crack it open on the desk.

But there was a spoon. I got the spoon, placed it under the edge of the bottle cap, and pulled as if I were whittling a piece of wood. A small whoosh sound came from the cap, letting me know that I was doing it right. The spoon slid out from under the cap.

Right then and there I knew I had done something wrong. I let out a sigh and looked at my finger which which now had begun to bleed profusely. If my nails were any shorter, a bigger chunk would have been taken out of my fingertip.

No band-aids to be found, so a piece of duct tape and toilet paper had to suffice.


I cut my finger while trying to open a bottle of beer with a spoon. It seemed like a good idea at the time...



Happy New Year!

A Year of Change

Not because of our new President, who brings with him hope and and optimism. But because of the optimism I feel within myself coming into the end of 2008. I have seen a lot of signs every day that things will change for me this coming year. I have opened myself up to new things, met more people and through them learned to express myself more and diversify. This may not make any sense, and as I read, it more than likely sounds like rambling in vagueness. However, 2009 will hopefully be my transition year. To what? I have no clue, but I'd rather let it unravel as things go along.
