Man Your Battlestations
Whoa. And just like that it’s a brand new year. I hope everyone had a fun and safe holiday. Legions of the Afrocrew catapulted into the New Year on the wind of a song. And we did it Karaoke style. Many of the Twintown’s finest crooners were over at our household for an evening of sidecar libations and hilarious Lost In Translation karaoke freestyles. Some of the best money I’ve ever spent went towards the rental of that Karaoke machine. I laughed so hard that I when I woke up to the dawn of 2004, I was suffering from a serious laughter hangover. I had the machine for all of yesterday too. After supper the misses was steadfast in her determination to bust out some ‘People’ by Streisand. Then she moved into some advanced karaoke territory when she nailed Sir-Mix-A-Lot’s ‘Baby Got Back’. She even did the opening part with the preppy girls talking. Impressive. I was bummed this morning when I had to bring the machine back to the party rental place. It will be missed.

Tomorrow I leave for Mexico for some much needed R&R. I’ve got a ton of books, my ipod is filled with power, and my camera is ready for a week of mellow fun under the sun. Time to recharge the batteries and mentally prepare to kick the shit out of 2004. I’ll post if I can from some internet cafe south of the border, but one never knows what to expect on foreign soil. Que Sera Sera.
