What would you have done back in Finland?

Gone to a cabin with my friends and gotten hammered for 3 days straight

My brother and his GF left last night back to Europe. Just exhausted from being a host for a week and going out almost every night with them.

I couldn’t get drunk for three straight days even when I wasn’t broken down and old.

happy new years fellow babies

 

[Bleedred]

Not sure if my dog will survive through the night with these fireworks.

Why exactly do people celebrate new years like they just got laid for the first time?

One year closer to death

Yippee

And I'm usually not such a scrooge like that but honestly, what's to celebrate?

 

[Eggtimer]

Happy New Years you guys and gals

 

[Bleedred]

Fireworks are cool, but I start to feel bad for all the dogs and vets that may have PTSD triggered by all the sounds. It really sounds like a warzone out there.

I dont know why but a person in my neighborhood ( not sure which one exactly ) decides to fire off fireworks late at night for no apparent reason / significant date. It could be a Tuesday in the middle in March and this asshat will be lighting them off at 2 am…..

I’m in the same boat where I don’t care much about New Years . I am way more excited about us shit kicking the Canes tomorrow than I am about New Years .

Happy New Year! May it treat you better than the last several!

for once nothing here.....the great silence of nothing

perfect as i was in the shed fitting a new bridge for an acoustic guitar (a fender entry starter model i found for 170$ used) for a friend's son to learn on...

also added a "sound post" to it which is common for cello or upright bass, only held in place by tension....i've never heard of one being used in a guitar but it worked

reason being it needed some reinforcement... the body feels sturdier and it fixed a 'buzz' in the craftsmanship when playing it

*sound post example for cello*

acoustic guitar i just reach in the hole with arm to set

Don’t get me wrong, I understand wishing everybody a happy new year, I understand if maybe you had a bad year you’re celebrating the end of it and looking forward to the new one, but I just don’t understand throwing a party or cheering in Times Square like you’re favorite team just won a championship. Down here in Florida it’s just an excuse to blow off fireworks, which fortunately this year seemed to end a lot earlier than last year. It’s been pretty quiet here since before 1:00 AM after a very loud 12:00-12:30.

I’m also not into the Christmas and never really was, but I do understand celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah and all that. I’ve just never really been festive about it.

But I’d also never think someone like “Well why you people so giddy about Christmas or Hanukkah” because I think that’s cool. I’m not the most excited for the holiday season. I think I something must have happened to me in the womb around Christmas or maybe when I was too young to really remember, because I’ve kind of always been very meh to it.

And then to top it off, for the last 20 years I now associate Christmas and Hanukkah with the end of my relationship with my first real love. It was a couple weeks before Christmas. Her dad was Jewish and they celebrated both Christmas and Hanukkah and I just remember celebrating every night of Hanukkah, plus Christmas with her and her family that year, despite the fact that we were already broken up. And we had already bought each other gifts for the holidays and exchanged them, despite being on the outs and never fixing things.

But I was already very indifferent at best to Christmas for the first 20-something years before that.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not happy to see people enjoying their holiday.

I just don’t understand the big celebration for a new year though.

Fireworks piss me the f*** off. Not shows organized by the city, mind you, those are scheduled, over in 20 minutes, you can usually opt into that and they're actually interesting.

But assholes subjecting everyone in the neighborhood to random little explosions sporadically over the course of 3 hours should be illegal. Forget the chances of pulling a JPP or burning your neighbors house down. The real crime here is what you're doing to every vet with PTSD, everyone with a pet, and any infants and toddlers trying to sleep.

Idk, I guess my idea of a good time isn't making babies and combat veterans cry.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Happy New Year folks! Lets make it a great one.

2023 goes well together with 1995, 2000, 2003 dont you think?

They were going off on Christmas Eve/Christmas morning by me, but not like in the neighborhood, but somewhere in the distance. I almost thought it was an organized fireworks show nearby, but they wouldn't have that at 1:00 AM.

And one thing that really ran through my mind that night was ''Man, anybody blowing off fireworks this late on Christmas morning is a f***in douchebag. They're blowing off fireworks, they're keeping all kinds of kids up and Santa can't come visit while all the kids are awake. And they really shouldn't have to be awake right now. That's more than just ignorance, that's being a heartless dickhead''.

This neighborhood got really noisy in the last year or two, particularly. There's one house not too far from here where the music usually starts coming on about 12:30-1:00. I don't hear it at all before that, but all I hear is bass bumping. It almost sounds like just a car driving by blasting music and maybe idling with the music going, but it's coming from somebody's house.

My guess is they're drunk and coming home from the bar and that's why they're usually not playing music before midnight.

My new neighbors, across the street, had fireworks going from midnight to 1:00 AM. His whole lawn is covered with crap this morning. I really didn't mind all that much. But I told my wife, don't ever tell me to turn the music down during the summer, when we are out by the pool.

Some of them just make more noise than anything and seriously sound like what I’d imagine a combat zone to sound like.

I’m sure there’s a bunch of shit outside here too. I bet it’s a mess.

Most people are inconsiderate pricks. If you find some good ones to live near you, it can make life so much better.

f***ing right rhodes

And here's another round going off in the afternoon.

Why even blow them off in the afternoon? They're just noise. You can't even see them.

Maybe they got too drunk last night and forgot to light them all, and decided to get rid of the leftover ones now instead of waiting until the next holiday?

I always thought it was dumb lighting them in the day too. Luckily it was raining here most of last night, so nobody lit fireworks in my neighborhood.

Since the 3rd week of October I have only been home about 18 days.
I think it's time to get back to some semblance of normalcy...eat right and get back to the gym... this vagabond lifestyle is hard.

I got two more days to play though.

There are actually daytime fireworks that seem to rely more on colored smoke.

I would seriously doubt that they were shooting them off here, however.

 

[JimEIV]

Feels good to be home.

There is nothing like taking a shower in your own bathroom after being away for a while.
