Watch out, I’m about to get all philosophical. New Years is pretty dumb. Yup, it’s dumb. There are many reasons but here are a few.

Time doesn’t really exist. Okay, maybe it does, but it is very complicated and thousands of bright minds haven’t really been able to define time in a way that is acceptable across all studies. But we travel around the sun every 365 days (approximately), hello Jason, that is a year, duh. Actually, that is a measure of rotations and distance that when completed gets a label slapped on it called a year. Oh ya, well there are 24 hours in a day, what about that? 24 is completely arbitrary. It could very well be 50, 20, or 100. They same logic follows for minutes and seconds.

And what is up with January 1st? It’s completely random and most likely had to do with some religious event back in the day when the church controlled the calendar. The new year could very well start on October 1st. January 1st isn’t even on a solstice or equinox! If it was, the date might make a little more sense. My years started on February 7th (birthday) an actual event….but then again what does February 7th even represent?

New years resolutions are also stupid. If you really want to do something do it today, don’t wait. Really, whats the point of waiting? “I’ll wait until the new year to do something”, blah blah blah, an excuse to be lazy.

So do I hate everything about new years? No, there are some good things. EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!! Who doesn’t like fireworks?

So what will I be doing tonight when the clock hits 12:00AM…………… the same thing I do every year, hanging out with friends and watching a ball drop or something, just like everyone else.

p.s. Don’t take this post too seriously, I know my logic has many holes.
