To New Year's Eve

First off, New Year's Eve, I don't know how to punctuate you properly. Is it New Years' Eve, New Years Eve, or New Year's Eve? Get on that and let me know...

So, you were yesterday. And I can't pinpoint the exact moment yesterday, but as I was really thinking about it, I realized you pretty much aren't that cool anymore. As a kid, you rocked and I loved it every time you came around because I got to stay up until midnight! I remember Y2K even and I got bored staying up that late because I was playing WWF Smack Down on my N64 all night while listening to the Willenium CD. These days, I go to bed around midnight every night. Your junk food appeal isn't there anymore either because I can eat junk whenever I want! (And I pretty much do).

You're like that kid in elementary school who everyone wants to hang out with at recess because you have the most Pokemon cards until finally someone realizes that you aren't cool anymore and all the sudden its 10 years later and you still have all those Pokemon cards.

You do have the wow factor still of being a new year. More so this last time because we rang in a new decade (which I still haven't decided between "twenty-ten" or "two-thousand ten").

Moral of the story is, New Year's Eve, you're just not that cool and it's about time someone told you. I don't need you to be able to hang out with friends until ridiculous hours of the night, just like I really don't care about that kid's Pokemon cards.

There. It's about time someone said it...
