a walk down memory lane

i always love it when there is a certain song, picture, or video that triggers a vivid memory of a special time you shared with friends.  especially when its a ridiculous memory that you don't want to forget, like the video below.  that video was on new year's eve, so of course it is a night that i want to remember, even if i wasn't in the best state to remember things very clearly.
being from tulsa, oklahoma and not being 21 years old, there really isn't much you can do to celebrate new years unless someone's parents let you have a party, lame, i know.  this past new years eve everyone got kicked out of the party right after the ball dropped so my friends and i just went back to my friend katey's house.  her dad wasn't there so we had the house to ourselves and we were just gathered around the table playing any drinking games we could think of or make up.  of course after a few rounds, the table was cluttered with empties so naturally my friend cole decides to start crushing them with his head, although he misses terribly in the video.  i just love the fact that when i watch the video today i still laugh just as hard as i did when i was actually there and i remember how much fun that night was even though it was literally a group of 7 people.  whenever i watch that video, i get a feeling deep in my stomach, which i usually attribute to being homesick,  and i think about other great times we've had in similar situations.  it just shows me that i really do have a great group of friends if i can have one of the best memories from one of the most simple and laid-back nights.  obviously the old saying of, "it's not where you are, it's who you're with," holds true.
