i have no idea where the whole eating black-eyed peas came from but we do it every year. and my ex-inlaws had this thing where the first person to cross the threshold and enter the house in the new year had to be a male. some years i actually left the house and came back in just so this would happen.

and do you expect to hear gunshots at midnight or is that not a thing where you from?

what do y'all usually do?


***
I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

I had a friend who use to break up with whoever she was seeing before new year cause she believed who you enter the year dating you were going to be with them that whole year

I just hug and kiss whoever is near me at midnight

>i have no idea where the whole eating black-eyed peas came

i learned all this kinda shit living in the south
my uncle was telling me something about boiling beans with a penny
or making corn bread
or some kinda backwards shit
he called it backwards (including eating of hoppin john/black eyed peas) not me

Sparkling apple cider to toast the New Year. My Mom does the having a man walk through the threshold first.

Although I managed to get Rose Bowl tickets for face value, so I'll be bolting a little earlier than usual to head for the game.

I can't tell if the traditions I had growing up are Filipino specific, or if my family had weird shit going on. But my parents would hang grapes over entranceways into the house and leave em up all year. Also, wearing polka dots and throwing money in the air at midnight.

"To Each His Reach"

this includes every garment including shoes. every item must be brand new. the idea being u cant go into a new year carrying last year's burden on you

years ago i'd decided to go into each new year in new panties, but fuck panties.

I'll be eating black eyed peas and cabbage and making sure I enter the new year tidy.

<-- exits a post like...

Party if I'm with friends or cousins.

Hopefully I'm at full peak tomorrow (still recovering from being sick). We may head downtown for NYE, God willing.




Since 1976

at the club I DJ at.

Since I started doing NYE parties, I played:

(Going into) 2009: Pop Champagne
2010: Wasted
2011: No hands
2012: Niggas in Paris
2013: All gold everything
2014: Turn down for what (had a mixed crowd)

This year....not sure if I'm dropping Coco, No Type, Hot Nigga, or something else.
