A Couple of Red Eyes

So the New Years Eve celebrations started with me and the parents heading into the city for a wonderful dinner which consisted of some Chilean Sea Bass with capers and sharing a pitcher of fresh made home made Sangria wine at a friends house. Then off to a dance club with mom and "dad" for a bit of dancing. Started dancing with a really hot muscle guy who knew how to move, only to have my mom pull me away. Muscle guy's boyfriend wasn't pleased that I was dancing with his man. I thought mom wanted me to have a polymorus relationship?

Started dancing with some other really cute guys, hands start wondering, and mom is pulling me away. What the hell is the matter with me? Uhh....wait..."What was in that Sangria wine?" Mom just smiles. This summed up my state of mind that night.

BABY BOY by Beyonce Knowles

BABY BOY YOU STAY ON MY MIND
FULFILL MY FANTASIES
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

BABY BOY NOT A DAY GOES BY
WITHOUT MY FANTASIES
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

PICTURE US DANCIN REAL CLOSE
IN A DARK DARK CORNER OF A BASEMENT PARTY
EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES
IT'S LIKE EVERYONE LEFT BUT YOU AND ME

IN OUR OWN LITTLE WORLD
THE MUSIC IS THE SUN
THE DANCE FLOOR BECOMES THE SEA
FEELS LIKE TRUE PARADISE TO ME

BABY BOY YOU STAY ON MY MIND
FULFILL MY FANTASIES
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

BABY BOY NOT A DAY GOES BY
WITHOUT MY FANTASIES
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

BABY BOY YOU STAY ON MY MIND
BABY BOY YOU ARE SO DAMN FINE
BABY BOY WON'T YOU BE MINE

So here it is the First of January, and I'm very glad to be traveling on the redeye, with my two bleary, bloodshot, red eyes across the country back to Cleveland. I'm coming back to the Midwest, a bit renewed, ready to face some things that I wasn't ready to face before, and actually over some really hard times that 2003 had given me. January's resolution? I'll figure it out tomorrow.
