Twitter is fast becoming the preferred social networking site for partyphiles, yuppies, glitterati, and celebrities; and it is easy to understand why. Twitter gives you the chance to share your nuggets of thought with the whole world, or at the very least, the people who follow you. More importantly, it gives you instant information in easily digestible portions (140 characters). Also, this no nonsense, no frills, social networking website allows you to take a peek at the people you wish to. You never have to follow people back, unless you want to. This allows for you to feel like a star and get all the attention that you want; or gives you the perfect avenue for stalking your favorite celebrity or campus crush. The possibilities are endless (well, almost. You have to observe the 140 character rule, but there is Twitlonger for that) with Twitter; especially because more and more people are logging on, and an increasing number of applications are being custom made for the site. So, if you still have not started tweeting, here are some of the tweets you’ve missed:

Our drink of the week is called the Parrot Cocktail. It is made with Scorpion Mezcal, a brand of Mezcal which has a Scorpion right inside the bottle. Most brands of Mezcal have caterpillars (although most people think it's a worm) in them; but this one is for the drinker with an appetite for something WILD (coz we're celebrating the feast of fabulous wild men today).
Today is the feat of fabulous Wild Men! So gather all your crazy, fun loving male friends, drink up, and wait for some crazy antics to ensue!
So the New Year has finally dawned on us. Horoscopes are starting to fill our Twitter timelines, fortune tellers finally land guesting stints on television talk shows, and somehow, worrying about one’s luck is now “in”. We always think that somehow, our luck changes with the change of the year. Somehow, everybody is convinced that the new year lives up to its name; we always see it as a fresh new start, a wonderful beginning; a much-needed change from the monotony that is our lives. But no. This article is not about that. I am pretty sure that you have read a gazillion and one articles about “fresh beginnings” and “brand spankin’ new trends for the new year”; so I won’t dish out another article with that topic just because it seems too overdone, even though it is usually given a fresh new coat of sarcasm, to make it seem like it is as fresh as the new year.
A lot of people say that Christmas is nothing but a marketing ploy; heck, even the priest during Christmas Day homily suggested that it is becoming that for many people. The same is true for the next holiday that we are bound to face: Valentine’s. But nobody seems to really think the same for New Year’s. How come? Well, because people think it actually happens. People think that because they buy a new calendar and jot down a different number when writing dates, that automatically means that the New Year is real. But is it? Is it real enough for us to change the way we look at our lives, at least for a year? Or is it just a marketing ploy to get us to spend on fruits and food? It is there to give us just another reason to celebrate, or does a New Year actually affect our lives, in a real sense? Think about it. Has your luck really depended on the year?
What irks me about the way people treat the New Year is that they often think the rest of the year would be dictated by what they know during the first month of it. Horoscopes are dished out and Facebook statuses start claiming that this year would definitely be theirs; but when did it cease to be?
If you really think about; we have always been the masters of our own ships. We have always dictated our luck. In fact, I strongly believe that luck is simply the acknowledgment of the number of fortunate events one experiences, and blessings one receives. Therefore, “your year” should never be based on the switching of the calendar; it must always be based by the switching of one’s perception.
And there is a lot of reason to do just that. Even the simple privilege to party is enough reason to look at life on the sunny side of things. Because the truth is, the New Year is, for some people, still the same old monotonous routine. While for the lucky ones who have started believing that life is as beautiful as how you see it, the New Year is, the same old gorgeous journey. So never claim that 2011 will be your year just because your horoscope says so. Claim it, because you actually believe it with every fiber of your being. Because we all know you have so much to be thankful for. So this 2011, do not think about your luck because we all know you are bound to experience little triumphs and failures this year. And what is important is that you know you can celebrate with the rest of the partyphile world when you succeed, and party with a vengence, when you fail.
Confession 11:
So its a new year… But you still look the same, smell the same, act the same, and feel the same. Why do we still look forward to a new year? Because it gives us a sliver of hope that maybe this time we'll truly be happy... maybe this year, will be OUR year. But you have to realize dear partyphile, it has always been YOUR year, you just choose not to own it.
Today is Trivia Day! So gather all of your friends, and play a Trivia game, or learn new things about how your friends are when they are drunk.
