Happy New Year and all that Jazz!!!!
Ugg Boot
2007 has snuck up on me. Check out Tara Reid counting down to 2007. Can she count? anyway, where did that come from? But seriously, check out the real new years countdown video here. I never thought I would be this age. For some strange reason I saw 25 as the year that I couldn't pass. There are no reasons at all for me thinking that, I just thought that anything over 25 was way too old. I enjoy most of my life a lot more than I ever have. I've been back to work for about a day and a half and can't count the times I've had to scratch out 2006 and replace it with 2007. Who's with me on this one? Crazy!!!! Speaking of crazy, I thought I had a crazy life. Check out what else is happening in the world that's crazier than anything I could come up with:
Before we get to that, check out this Louis Prima vid:
A British teen(14 years old) on Wednesday became the youngest person to sail solo across the Atlantic Ocean, reaching the Caribbean island of Antigua after a six-week voyage.
A man hunting for American Indian artifacts with his sons along a gravel bar on the Missouri River has uncovered an ancient fishhook that is making collectors envious. It's made from bone and is the size of the finders hand. Crazy.
A man who proposed to his girlfriend at a New Year's party allegedly knocked her out with a steering wheel lock just hours after she said yes. Honey, whatever you do on your wedding day, remember your bullet proof vest and don't let him carry you across the threshold.
Okay. Now take a break from work and watch this video. It's very relaxing.
Imagine you're pilfering through the dumpster and get sleepy. What do you do? You take a nap in the trash can. Up pulls the trash truck and empties the contents of the container, including you, into the compactor. What do you do? You call 911 with your cell phone.
Six persons were injured when a rampaging bull buffalo gored guests at a wedding ceremony and passersby. Doh!!!
U.F.O.'s??? Federal officials say it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon, but a group of United Airlines employees swear they saw a mysterious, saucer-shaped craft hovering over O'Hare Airport last fall.
A Japanese woman charged with inflicting injury on her neighbor by blasting rock music at her house for 2½ years was given a 20-month prison term. I'm not making this stuff up.
Attempts to wean Britons away from binge drinking toward a more continental European "cafe style" culture may never work because too many like getting drunk, a cabinet minister said Sunday. They should come to Louisiana with that idea.
Spilled animal parts and a Tomahawk missile that tumbled out of a truck caused some of the worst traffic nightmares of 2006.
The guardians of Britain's historic Tower of London are enlisting girl power for the first time in their 522-year history.
