New Years Celebration

I think it officially started at our street at around eight o' clock,
but the sound system was already set-up and playing at around three o' clock.
I only thought of asking this now but I was wondering if we are the only
compound which have this kind of stuff playing every year, and my dad's answer:
yes, we are the only ones who have this kind of thing. Anyway, while the music
was playing (we're smarter than sheep not to play christmas songs), some of the
boys along the corner were acting like faggots and dancing like gays along
with their partners. Of course, they do get tired and when they did (or so
I thought) the young ones took over. When I say young, I do mean young,
like five years old, acting like they know how to dance the "harlem" and
stuff. And what is new year without fireworks there's the weak "piccolos",
"five stars", etc. and there's also the strong ones like "pla-pla", "super-lolo",
PVC tubes which look like cannons known as "boga", the rocket-like thingy known
as "quitis" and the defeaning and blinding "whistle bombs" (they give off a shrill
whistle before exploding and can blind you temporarily if you looked directly at it).
For me, I just lit up sparklers, and you know what happened next, because of the
smoke, I think I just got asthma, it hurts to cough and I felt shortness of breath.
We are indeed complete in this occasion, except for one family and a relative.
The eldest brother of my father, due to some reason I do not know, spends the
holidays in Bahraign. Well, yes he has two daughters who recently said that
they will not be spending the holidays with their family, and unfortunately,
with us too. One thing I can comment on is that they are "Breaking Free" and
"Breaking Away, spreading their wings and learning how to fly". And you know what,
I'm planning of doing the same thing, although I'm not old enough (I haven't finished
high school yet). Anyway that thing of mine will be described further in a
different post, but for now it ends here.

Happy New Year everyone!
Hoped you greeted 2007 with a bang.
