God I love Bukowski. As all good writers do, he puts into words what I can't quite express: "their gaiety, their happiness...." I was wondering about my "scrooginess" yesterday for hating all the loud laughter and fake few minutes of drunken joviality I could hear around me. But I soon got over it and returned to doing what I love and what fills me up, irrespective of it being New Year's Eve.

Jomo is my New Year's Eve motto. The Joy of Missing Out. It also puts me first as you may notice...

Happy New Year either way! I'm excited to think of my Poetic Outlaws tee and cup flying through the sky on their way to New Zealand...

Exactly how I feel at midnight New Year's Eve. Five minutes of utter chaos, then nothing. I too go to bed at nine these days. Gratefully, I now live in a place where there is little noise but the braying of mules, the crowing of roosters, and the alarms of dogs. Happy New Year.
