I start every year in the gutter...wherever I may be, I find and stand and sometimes lie down in the gutter...

I've done this for years and have convinced larger groups (if at a party) to do the same....I figure starting the new year at a low point, things can only get better...I'm weird and like it that way...

Edit: Early New Years post...just thinking ahead...
