Wild and Crazy Night

Last night was one of spontaneity and random events starting with a malfunctioning car leaving a friend stranded heavy with overheated burnt rubber fumes in the middle of Union Square. Wisking off in a cab to the Gallery Lounge 4 minutes before the midnight countdown in a swirl of champagne, DJ'd music, dancing, hips swaying, gay men twirling and paying much-loved compliments, friends and I letting the night go, hugs and love felt. Then bringing it down a few notches kicking back at home with good company enjoying my view with a little bit of drama thrown in to keep the blood pumping. Arguments, frustrations aired, fires put out, but in the end, there was peace, a shared celebration and appreciation of life - all of its ups, downs and nuances. Now it's time to rest and breathe in the new year.
