But first, I'd like to say that I'm so very happy that 2008 is OVER! It was the year that the DIRT was taken away and life seemed to just fall flat! I think it could have been a major cause of the recession, to be honest!
But I'm going to get over it and finally quit sulking. It's going to be a FUN year, no matter what!
TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF!
To kick it off, I decided to participate in one of the most random events I've ever heard of...it's called 'No Pants 2k9' and it happens tomorrow afternoon (Sat) in NYC. I'm basically meeting up with random people, and we're going to take our pants off and ride the subway in our undies for a bit. We're not supposed to smirk or smile, so the toughest part will be keeping a straight face. The second toughest will be the crazy snow storm we're supposed to get - that will make it extra special!
Special thanks to Miriam for inviting me to join her in this most random and insane event! The link below shows past No Pants rides for your reading pleasure...apparently, it's not illegal to wear your underwear in public, so if we get arrested I'm sure the charges will be dropped.

FACEBOOK QUOTE OF THE WEEK
I have zero clue what this really means, but an art director friend of mine threw this one out there earlier in the week:
"Miriam is retouching your mom"
I cannot believe that she didn't get a million "your momma" replies like on 40 Year Old Virgin. I held back, but I soooo wanted to throw a few out there.
Speaking of Facebook, my goal this year is to only post funny photos for my profile pic - yep, everything is going to go back to having FUN. Everything! I have to share the photo I have up now, because 1) I love my Aunt Rose DEARLY, and 2) the pic is nothing other than hysterical. She's one of my favorite people in the world, and she's under 5 feet tall...
I HEART NY POST
- You know the world has to be getting better when the "news" organizations are all over whether or not Sam Ronson and LiLo are together or not. The latest is that Sam dumped Lindsay and Lindsay's in denial. I don't necessarily care, but I think we all need some celebrity dish in our lives right about now. Maybe Brit Brit will shave her head on her upcoming tour, or something. The world NEEDS some stupid drama!
- Angelina stirred up some drama at the Critic's Choice Awards last night when she sat with a nasty smirk on her face while Anne Hathaway gave her bizarro acceptance speach.
- Watch shaking hands if you come across Ashley Olsen - she was allegedly spotted leaving a restroom without washing her hands. DO NOT THINK WE DON'T NOTICE THESE THINGS! If you're a no-washer, some of us keep a list, and it's not something we keep to ourselves. Apparently, Courtney Thorne-Smith (yeah, yeah...she's been mia for a while) is a no-washer, according to a friend who could not WAIT to tell me the story. We talk...oh, we talk!
- Patrick Swayze was just admitted to the hospital tonight for pneumonia - let's hope's able to recover. Apparently, his new series is supposed to be really good.
- And in an effort to NOT end on a sad note, Donald Trump announced his new Celebrity Appretince stars today, and was so selfless in saying that the show is such a success because he's on it...make it stop.
Anyway, maybe not a great first BLIRT of the year, but I felt like talking. I may have to at least follow up with one next week with details of No Pants 2k9, but who knows if I keep anything going or not. Baby steps...
I do miss you all, though! Much love and happiness in 2009!
I'm off...
