New Year's Eve

I went out for a drive tonight. It was good to clear my head... KZOK was doing their top rock and roll songs of all time, so I enjoyed a little car-karaoke. :) Ended up at Kerry Park, where I tried out the new camera with some night pics. It would be an awesome place to watch the fireworks tonight, but it was so cold. And I was about 5 hours early for the fireworks!

Here are some of the pictures I took. All of them can be seen on my Picasa page (link on the right) if you are interested!






A couple of songs I heard tonight resonated with me. Started out the "rock block" with the Beatles, "Let It Be"... then the Rolling Stones ("Can't always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you need..."). As I was pulling into my driveway, I heard some wise words from Fleetwood Mac:

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be here, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Why not think about the times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be here, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone

Seemed appropriate for New Year's Eve. :)
