I have with me here my fabulous cohorts. Chelo Azul here, local Long Beach musician. Pronouns are he, him, and.

Dr. Mikey here, your local, licensed, and practicing therapist for entertainment purposes only. My pronouns are he, she, all of them. So what are we talking about today, Nino? So today I wanted to talk about New Year's. Yes, New Year's. The new year.

New Year's. We're talking about New Year's because what the fuck? It's New Year's. It's going to be New Year's. I like New Year's. I feel like New Year's for me is like a really big party. So for me, I think originally it was always like stay up late and you count down. So staying up late is fun. It's like another Christmas. And then now as an adult, it's tied with drinking and smoking weed. So I'm like, hell yeah, I love New Year's because that's usually what I do is just get high.

And drink and countdown but also it feels nice because it's like an end for me it feels like a physical end of the year like fuck we're done you know like let's party we finished let's go on next year starting here we go and i think everybody loves i don't know if everybody but i really like the fresh start idea of like oh we get to start fresh again do you like new year's doctor i mean Yeah, I like New Year's. It wasn't anything that, like, I grew up being really big in my life.

I remember, like, staying up and doing, like, the countdown, things like that. But it was never, like, my family never got together to celebrate it together, which is something I just did with, like, my media family. I don't think it really got fun until I was an adult. Like, I got into college where it became a party, you know, and it was, like, something you got together and you drank and you rang in the New Year being drunk as fuck.

But I think even that shifted. I'd gone from being in big parties to having small gatherings. And it's not as like, I need to get sloshed to enjoy this. I think I don't like New Year's because I'm reminded that I'm going to have a hard-ass hangover because I drink like a fucking psycho on New Year's. But I'm not going to be negative. So I'm going to talk about a positive New Year's experience. Once there was this great, actually, gay-ass New Year's Eve party.

And it was like in Pico Rivera and it was like oh girl it had to be like 2008 maybe 2000 early.

Maybe 2008 2009 something like that maybe even 2010 but yeah it was at this big house in Pico Rivera and these gays that I knew at the time were throwing it so I went and it was like the most wild thing I'd ever experienced as far as a house party was like only gay men being there maybe there was like one or two like literal like hags, around but like compared to like the amount of gay guys that were there there was probably like.

50 maybe and it was like all like like mainly like hispanic gay guys that were

like our age group was probably like from like early 20s to like 30s mid 30s so like that was like the party, and it was like a really amazing because like i think i made out with like i found this one guy that i i don't know if i met him did i meet him at the party i don't remember no i met him in we ho and then he was at this party and he had randomly been like friends with these guys that i knew too which is like how gay world is like everybody knows everybody and he

was there and it was cute and it was my first new year's eve kiss and it was so cute and it was like even before the new year's eve kiss like we were in the car and we were like sucking each other's dick and new year's dick sucking yeah and it was like really so cute and nice and then we had a new kiss and it was so cute and it was like oh my god that's cute cute and in my head I was like I don't think this is actually gonna turn into anything but

it was like very sweet and it was probably like one of my my more favorite new year's memories. New York Kiss. What do we think about New York Kiss? New York. New Year. I've always kind of wanted to go do that in my mind when I was younger to do

the New Year's Eve ball drop. But then I also ultimately have learned through people on YouTube that you don't want to do that. Oh, yeah. No. It was a terrible experience, I hear. You guys did it? No. But we've been to New York enough to know that you don't want to be in that area, the vicinity of that area, anytime, anywhere, any day. Yeah. But I also hear like once you're there, you're there and you can't leave to even go to the restroom and you're there for hours.

It's kind of like being on TV, right? Yeah. You need to be ready. Damn. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, no, thanks. And it's cold. Yeah. Oh, no. No, we went and then like it gets really busy and it's extremely overwhelming. Like this overstimulating for me personally, all the lights. It's so many lights. It's really bright. Everything is all in your face. People are walking. People are trying to sell you things. It's like a lot in such a small concentrated space.

I think that's also why I don't like the idea of New Year's is because it's like that whole anticipation of the ball drop. And you're like, it was just like a little ball that went up and down a slide. And why are we like all gagged for that? I don't know. I'm not even impressed. Right. And so I was always kind of confused by that, but I can feel like that's what New Year's has kind of felt like ever since. Like that one party that I had gone to was like every other year was like not as fun.

And it's like ultimately feels like a letdown. Like every New Year's party feels like some kind of a letdown if you don't have like a New Year's kiss or whatever. If you're single, at least that's what it felt like. So I don't know. I was kind of just felt like New Year's is like, oh, and then I got to think about the hangover. What about kissing a stranger? I mean, if it would have happened, it would have happened, but it did not happen. Makes sense.

Have you kissed a stranger on New Year? No. Yeah, I haven't either. I think the only time I ever, like, got a New Year's kiss is when I've been in, like, relationships. Mm-hmm. And that's not, like, making out with, like, a stranger. Yeah, no. It's like, mwah, thanks. I also feel like, girl, I need to go to sleep. Because that's what it is to me. Because I'm like, I can't stay up past 9 o'clock anyways. And so when it's, like, New Year's, I'm like, oh.

But that's so lame. Do you guys do like actual, what do you call them, resolutions? Do you resolve anything?

I do like to have like some sort of a goal for the following year. I'm like, this is the year I want to focus on this. I do like to do those things. But I guess you could do it anytime. You don't have to wait until New Year's to do it. Mm-hmm. I think what I did this year is I started working on my resolutions before the New Year to be consistent in the New Year. So like gym, like I'm going to go to the gym more consistently in the past few months.

I put a lot of effort in like going, you know, and like I want to make more content. So I've been doing a lot of work and time and researching and putting together what I want to create. So that way when New Year comes, I can roll into it rather than start from scratch.

Catch there you go that's smart like get the ball rolling before the new year comes yeah you don't want to be the first you don't want to be part of those people at the gym that barely showed up on right january 1st yeah i want to be that gym person that's like oh these new people.

That's what i want to be i want that moral superiority, yeah i definitely have that because i feel like i i'm always like having some kind of like stupid like task lists that i'm constantly performing on myself yeah like i have this to do i have this to do i have that to do like constantly trying to improve upon i don't know my own productivity which is its own battle of like trying not to let that get to you yeah because i feel like,

i feel like more and more over the years like i i used to be very like oh yeah new year's and i have to have a goal and i have to set this goal and i'm gonna have a whole plan and then now i'm more like trying to look at it as of like, don't let them fool you into like being constantly productive for no reason. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Because you're causing yourself more burnout. Rest is cool. Rest is great. Especially during this time. We're supposed to be resting more in the winter.

Anyways, things slow down. Even nature slows down. Everything slows down. And then the, and then more specifically for those of you that live where the snow is, the snow is literally telling you to snow, slow the fuck down. I mean, even like if I'm really thinking about it, like I've already told myself like subconsciously, I guess, that, oh, once January 1st starts, I am going to try to take on as much work at work as possible and try to take on as much overtime as I can.

And I'm just like, why am I like in that? But I already know, like, hello, we're in the downfall and you need as much money as you can. So I don't know if it's me being trying to be productive or me. I'm in survival mode at this point. So I don't know. No, I think also. I also think that the New Year's shouldn't even be at this time. I think the New Year's should be like in the springtime because this is winter. This is when people should be resting.

You're right. That does like a lot of like random pressure for in the middle, the end of winter. And now I got to do what? Get it to the gym? No. After there's going to be eight inches of drizzle coming? No, I don't know. Because that's why I always thought it was very interesting that all these other

people who celebrate New Year's are not near January. They're in March or February. It's because they follow the lunar cycle. And it's, I think, probably more accurate because it's going to follow what plants are doing. I think when plants are coming back to life, I think that's the new year. Instead of when everything's dead, I'm like, I don't think that's the new year. Yeah, what the hell, capitalists? Is it because... Yeah, why? Do we end the year because...

Business slows down in winter. And so we're like, well, we might as well end the fiscal year. Uh-huh. Like, because I'm only trying to figure out, there has to be a purpose why we end the year in the middle of winter. Yeah. I mean, they made Christmas capitalistic, where you had to go into the stores and buy people things.

Right. Well, according to the internet, New Year's Day is January 1st, due to ancient Roman traditions honoring Janus, Janus I don't know how to say this name but the god of beginnings with this date chosen after Julius Caesar reformed the calendar so

it's because some stupid guy like Trump what was your reasoning Julius no fucking reasoning but Caesar reformed the calendar and later cemented globally by the Gregorian calendar reform by the Catholics so Romans linked it to the start of their consulship year and while other dates were used in the middle ages january 1st was re-established and widely adopted aligning with the solar year and cultural significances so thanks julius caesar and then thanks

pope gregory the whatever guy so it's catholics helped spread that too, not helpful thanks thanks romans yeah so do you guys like do the countdown like when it's like.

Nine eight do you guys actually like pay attention to that or is it like oh is it already happened or i think there's been times in my family when i used to celebrate that we would pat we would forget everybody everybody it's already midnight oh my god you know like happy new year's i do like to count down it's fun but the tradition that i used to have when i was younger was i used to do irish countdown and so irish countdown is at like 3

p.m for us i think two or 3 p.m and we go to the irish pub and you count down for them and then you like drink and they used to have dollar guinness, Like, Dollar Guinness, like, three hours before the countdown. Did I do that with you before? Yeah, we've done it, remember? That wasn't St. Patrick's Day? No, that was New Year's. Okay, I thought so. Yeah, so you do an Irish countdown at 3 p.m. us time. And then after that, then you go home drunk to go to the countdown later.

You go sleep it off and then wake up again, like, at 10, 11. Do you have a memory of that night? No, there's too many of them. They're all blurred. And I haven't done that in years. I haven't done Irish Countdown. I'm trying to remember about it. Yeah, I know for a fact we went to go do Irish Countdown together. Well, I'm glad. Do you guys wear anything special on New Year's? I feel like I always want to have some kind of sequins outfit for no reason, but I don't have sequins ever.

I always feel like I want to be shiny on New Year's. I don't know why. Because of the dropping ball. It's shiny. Oh, that was it. It's taking inspiration. I used to dress up for New Year's. I used to wear a suit and tie and look fly and look good. And very like, that was the second one of my parents were like, they were very like, you dress up. Like you could never go to Thanksgiving in a t-shirt and like jeans or something. Like you had to dress up.

For that New Year's party, that gay New Year's party that I went to, I actually, I can't believe I remember this. This was, I went to my, cause I had a, I used to work actually at, should I even name it? I shouldn't name it. Name it. Scratch Baked Goods on, which street is that? Third? Something. Um, and the former owner, or I don't even know if he was the owner or the boss. Anyways, my boss, he was a gay man, and I was like...

Do you have anything for me to wear? Because I just knew he was like theatrical and like he had something in his closet. So he was like, come over. And then he tried to dress me for the New Year's party.

That's cool. Your fairy godmother. Yeah, it was fun. But yeah, just another gay thought. Gay history for you on my New Year's. Gay history New Year's. Gay people and New Year's. We want to be sparkly. Yeah, we also, well, back then I used to drink a lot more. And so the drink that I used to like to prepare with Dr. Mikey was rum chata. So we would do rum chata and coffee. So we would get like an iced coffee and then we would mix the iced coffee with rum chata.

Kept you up. Got you drunk. Very delicious. Yeah, it was one of our favorite. And now it kind of reminds me, well, a little bit of like Coquito. And so I think like Coquito is much better now. I love Coquito. I think Coquito is like becoming a new tradition for us.

Have you guys ever done like one of those like expensive club new year's things i performed i performed that one how was that it was cool at the end everybody got drunk so it was cool to see my supervisor just a little drunk but, they paid they paid well and but other than that i'd rather not like i'd rather not like yeah work on new year's or or being a club i feel like it gets really messy i remember one time i went to San Diego and we went to the Gas Lab District.

And when all the bars closed, everyone poured into the street and it was gross. Like people were drunk.

Couples were fighting. People were fighting. It was like ridiculous. It was definitely like a weird, aggressive vibe. So like I feel like after that, I didn't want to go to clubs for like New Year's. Yeah, I can imagine that like it's just unless you go to like a gay club. Yeah. That it's like nasty fucking straight vibes. Yeah, and Gaslamp is straight vibes for sure. It definitely wasn't at a gay bar. Wow. Is New Year's Eve gayer than Christmas?

That's a stupid question. No, I think Christmas is the gayest of them all. Right? It's way more theatrical. I think Halloween is the gayest. Well, Halloween is our gay Christmas, but Christmas is the gayest holiday, if that makes sense. I think it is. It's very gay. I mean, like the Christmas tree and the ornaments and the whole hoopla.

It's very very i mean like no one has a halloween tree baked goods you know i mean no one has halloween songs that you sing not real around like no i mean we just go out and be sluts and dress up on one night but as in christmas you

know the gays love christmas and they go all out and even people who are straight are very gay when they put their christmas trees up right i'm always kind of shocked about like how like excited like straight men can get for christmas randomly when you see like the old dad who does like the fuck out of the lights yeah i'm like that's that's gay being gay sir you are decorating a house right you're like ambiance lighter what is it like you're programming you all your ld ed

lights to do this like sequence dance movement that's gay it's a tchaikovsky or whatever and you ain't a tchaikovsky the gay composer, I didn't know that yeah Tchaikovsky was gay and he wrote the Christmas music that we all love. Sugar Plum Fairies. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies. Gay. He was talking about his girls. We were watching The Nutcracker. That is so gay. Tell me that was not a gay man who wrote that. I've always had this fantasy that I want to go see The Nutcracker on Broadway.

What is the L.A. equivalent to Broadway? I wanted to see it when Macaulay Culkin was in it. That's when I wanted to see it. Did you remember when Macaulay Culkin was in The Nutcracker? No. Is this a false memory? Does LA have an equivalent to Broadway? Pantages? Pantages. Yeah. That's it. Pantages. It's not just a movie theater? Is it even a movie theater? What? Pantages? No, it's like a theater theater. Okay. Or Opera House, but it doesn't do like Broadway. Let's see.

Have you ever blacked out before midnight? Probably. I got pretty drunk when I did the Irish New Year's. And then I slept. and then i woke up it was me and my brother we went to the irish christmas and then irish christmas irish countdown and then we got super drunk and then we woke up at the house maybe like at 9 or 10 p.m so and then that gave us an hour and a half to get up again and drink some more and then countdown. It's terrible. I don't think I've ever blacked out before midnight.

Definitely after. What is your year in review for yourself? How was it for you? I feel like this year was really emotionally exhausting. Yeah, this year was rough. I think this was one of the roughest years of my life. But I also think that having experienced seeing a lot of like...

Turmoil and ups and downs that i feel a lot what's the word like like i overcame all of this i'm still here and i'm alive and so i just cannot imagine things getting worse and so, so there it is there it is come on bring it 2026 let's go don't we better manifest something different i'm at it can you not bring i know can you lay the fuck down i'm not daddy chill, i'm not trying to continue the battle girl 2026 chill thank you.

What about you dr mikey tell us uh i think it was it was like a year of a lot of like ends right and i think that like with like relationships and and like patterns of behaviors that i had and like attachments to things so like i'm like this year feels like, a new start for the next you know so i think i'm trying to be open to that and have that perspective towards like the hard losses but also celebrate like the losses that helped me grow as well i think

that's important too so yeah yeah i feel like because i had left my job i don't leave my job. No, technically I did leave my job. I was like, there wasn't enough work. So I decided to say, okay, we'll find work elsewhere. And then I did. And it was hard and scary. But ultimately, I have found my place at enough at this new job that I'm comfortable.

So I'm comfortable in a different job which was like leaving my old job was like because of my dad basically ran the place, it was like a good like baby step towards the industry but now that I'm like completely at a completely different place that has nothing to do with anything like I don't have daddy around the corner to help me if I actually need him so proving to myself that like I could still do it was like great and i felt very confident because of that so that was a good thing nice but

it was still extremely emotionally exhausting because of the whole process is emotionally exhausting leaving a job wondering where's work looking for work finding work and then dealing with all these people is just like so much and so like that was just like a lot in itself yeah this was this i I think. But I'm also at the same time, like very proud of you. Cause like, I was able to witness a lot of like the chaos of like having to find a new job.

And then I remember you also like trying your hardest to like be like. Like, like searching for the jobs. Like I remember that one job that you were like literally went to and physically met and like was like really interested in. And you're like to what do you call those? Those go getters. You know what I mean? You're like doing all that shit. And like, you know, landing where you are now. And so it's cool to see. Go getter. Yeah. Hell yeah. We're doing this. We're doing the thing. It's a lot.

So, yeah, I mean, and just on top of, like, the constant barrage of fucking bad, horrible shit news day after day after day after day, which not that it never is that, but it's just, like, the news is, like, it's getting grimmer and grimmer. Yeah, it was definitely, like... It almost just feels like, oh, tomorrow, all trans people to be murdered. Like, that's what you're just, like, anticipating.

Exactly. No, it's really scary because we know history and we study history and we're seeing the patterns being repeated and people are just willing to throw. That's the reason. Because for me, I always thought like, wow, like what would I have done in Nazi Germany? You know, like would I have really just let my friends be thrown under the bus? And the reality was that people didn't give a fuck. And so that's what's happening today.

It's like the equivalence of what was happening to the Jews is happening to trans people where they're like trying to erase them.

They're trying to demonize anybody that's trying to protect them and so it's like what would you have done for the jews what are you doing now for trans people you know what i mean today in like the united states where they're legally trying to like create anybody who is fighting for these rights calling them terrorists gender ideology terrorists like like wow and then you have democrats who are literally like just being like yeah we're not fighting hard for trans people sorry y'all

it's like really wow yeah it just almost feels like i don't know it just feels like going to the new year just kind of feels scary i mean there is fear and what what but also at the same time we protect ourselves and we keep each other safe and then at the end of the day that's what we need to start doing and if you're not standing up for your migrant friends if you're not standing up against ice if you're not standing up against trans people then like Like,

you know, they're eventually going to come for you, you know, like first it's going to be trans and it's going to be queers and it's going to be women. And, you know, so it's like if you're, if you're just willing to let somebody go, then you're willing to let yourself go is essentially what you're doing, you know, so. The world is burning around us, yes, and the world has been burning around us, yes, and things were worse, yes, and we're reverting back to that,

yes. But at the same time, there's a lot of positive. This podcast has been heard around the fucking world, and so you can only imagine that short escape that this podcast is offering to people.

You know like this is an amazing this is amazing work that y'all are doing and that have survived because there's other queer podcasts that haven't made it you know they you know like but y'all are persisting and so we are persisting and so I think it's amazing to be a part of this and to close out in this year is amazing to see how far we've gone like I feel like listening to the very first episode to listening to now is a huge difference so like I don't know I feel like sometimes,

New Year's can also offer us an opportunity to reflect. And in reflecting, I feel very damn proud of us and very damn proud of what we're doing, even in our personal lives. And even though shit's hitting the fan, umbrella, Ella, A, A,

A, underneath this umbrella or whatever. Well, when you put it like that, it sounds a little nicer. I suppose, give me this thing. I know, we should cheers to this. But yeah, the next year, you guys have any plans for the next year? Yeah, I'm getting up there. I'm getting old. And so my focus is going to be my body. Like, I want to just let everybody know out there that we're all looking snatched. We're fucking looking snatched. We're like living our little skinny era right

now. We all hit the gym this fall and I'm looking at the results in the room. And it's cool. It's cool to see that we're like being disciplined and, you know, focus on our health. I'm excited to be able to do things that I wasn't able to do. I mean, I was doing these things in high school, but now I'm doing them again in my 30s. And so I'm like, wow, it feels good to reconnect with my body that way.

And so for the following year, my plan is to reconnect with my body, make sure that I'm keeping it a healthy condition because an unhealthy body costs money nowadays. And this economy can't afford to have no complications. So I got to get on that. And then the other thing is releasing more music. You know, I just recently started doing a weekly, sorry, daily, a daily exercise where I'm waking up, having coffee and writing lyrics.

Because I think as a musician, I struggle with lyrics. I can write really good melodies and chord progressions and stuff. But when it comes to writing actual lyrics and poetry, it's really a little on the, it's the harder part of it for me. And so I decided that every morning I'm going to write a song. And so I write like a verse and I write a chorus. And if I feel I can write more, I do. Sometimes I don't get nothing, but it doesn't matter as long as I write something

down. Or even if I just write what I want to do or what I want to write about, then I start writing. I want to write about this. And then I start talking to myself on paper what I want to write a kumbia song about. And then eventually something comes out. And so I've been doing this for a while now. And so I want to keep that kind of discipline moving forward. Nice. I want to try to focus more on my own personal interests and, what do you call that, growing them, I guess.

I'm interested in UFOs. So I'm going to try more. I'm trying to learn more about cameras so I can capture these on camera. I actually want to actually delve into a photography hobby more and eventually invest in a really good camera. And if not UFO videos, animal style documentary is like, I'm really interested in that. Oh, that's so cool. I've always was interested in that as a kid. Just like videoing animals in the wild. Yeah, I do that sometimes in my backyard.

I've been really getting to know these spiders. And they're really cute and they're very smart. They're like the jumping spiders. Oh, that's scary. But they usually have their territory and they come out when I'm watering. And they, just to see what I'm doing. And then they go back in. But it's really interesting because you see them watching you. But it'd be cool to film shit like that. Yes, it would. So stuff like that. I hope to get back into plants because I've neglected all

my plants. And I just stopped giving a fuck. I don't know what happened. I just gave up on my plants yeah and after you watered it that one time that

bitch came back to life though so it's giving me hope oh good and yeah just trying to like focus on myself more, and like my own interests and like you said just like yeah i guess refocusing more on the gym and getting that fit life because this year this next year oh i'm sorry y'all but i have to admit I'm going to be 40. I know, girl. We're going to be 40. So it's going to be a big year. And so I don't want to look snatched. Same. We will. We're going to look great.

We have a couple months. We have more than a couple months. We have almost a year. Yeah. We're going to be great. No, I'm definitely doing a lot of upper body things I couldn't do before. So I'm doing like pull-ups. I'm like, wow, it's really cool to be able to pull my whole body up by myself. I'm trying to focus on my booty. Yeah. I haven't really thought about that. Today I did leg day and I literally immediately started cramping.

Yeah, so I was like, oh my God, there's all these muscles I never really, like, use every year. I mean, yeah, so I was like, wow. No, yeah. Definitely need to focus on the booty. Yeah. What else are you getting into this year, Mikey? Or Dr. Mikey? Excuse me. Put some respect. Besides the gym, because like I said, that's something I've been consistent with for the past few months. I want to do more content around psychology.

I'm going to start a book club on TikTok about this book called Decolonizing Psychology. So kind of just starting online conversation about what decolonizing psychology looks like and developing and putting together like a support group almost where people can come and talk about it i think it's important that sounds fun yeah so do you have to read it.

Well well i'm gonna do like quotes and stuff like that and then people will comment that's the vision okay oh that sounds fun and then we can like you just like type about that thing, yeah so like i'll my idea is it like i'll like pull quotes and like give like how it impacted me or what it made me think about and people can comment about that or like comment other things that maybe they read if they're reading the book along

with me and it can become this back and forth community where people get to balance this idea what decolonizing therapy looks like that's cool is it available on audible i don't know i'm reading it i'm reading it the hard way, you're reading it the hard way i'm like i'm in a book club reading it from scratch, i'm in a good book club where i only listen to it on audio.

Yeah i will i love audiobooks especially on a road trip oh audiobook on a road trip is the best there's this one person that i liked hearing i do what well i okay i take that did you like it okay i just think that they was great that there was an opportunity to a person on youtube that reads the book on YouTube, but the... Sometimes it's like there's no editing so there's

all this commentary and i'm like why am i hearing your commentary i'm trying to like can you go back can you go back to reading the book sir go back to reading the book you can comment later or something i don't know but i've heard that before and i've and i got confused i was like that's not part of the book that's your opinion.

Anything i also want to i'm going to delve more into like personal hobbies too like I signed up to LBC to do fashion classes, so I'm not sure I'm gonna start sewing next semester but I definitely got into a class around like fashion design where they teach you how to like sketch what you want to create so I think it was just the universe saying slow down think about it first so I'm excited for that well that's cool though, gotta learn the basics very cool,

I feel like i want us to do more of those fucking vogue dance yeah oh they do it every sunday now.

Leg day really helps for that yeah i started that duck walk i'm able to duck walk a lot better than i was before nice yeah i definitely that's i need to write that down dance class because that's the one thing i'm like what do i want to do oh yeah dance i feel like yeah i do doing like dance classes, would definitely be something exciting to do have y'all ever done a vision board yeah back in the day yeah i think those are really cool i think they're awesome

like art artful way to do some kind of manifestation i feel like they work yeah i think they work too i used to like i used to. Instead of like a live vision board i just got like a photoshop and i just post i just like clipped a bunch of pictures together i put on my desktop so every time i'd open my computer i'm I'm like, okay, let's call it smart. Oh, a virtual vision board. Virtual vision boards are cool, too. It's like a mood board of my life. Yeah, that's cool.

That's awesome. No, yeah, I think those things work. And I also think that even though, yeah, like we're in the middle of winter, we should be slowing down and we should be refocusing and like resting and maybe thinking about, because I honestly am thinking for next year, because especially like there's other aspects of my life that are actually governed by nature. So it's like, I want to plant seeds again.

And so I'm like thinking about it, like, okay, if I want to get ready to plant in the first week of January, then I need to start working the land a little sooner. So I got to start kind of like, you know, making sure that I'm preparing the ground. And so that's all the preparation that needs to be done like right now in the winter. But then certain things are a little off here because we get more rain in the winter. So I'll be like, that's when I should be putting seeds down.

But then I should have prepared a little sooner. Spread those seeds tonight, girl, because the storm's coming. Right? Oh, my God. It is coming. Spread your seed. You know me. I'm just going to spread it. Is that all? Any other New Year's thoughts? Any New Year's things? Don't drive. Don't drive. Don't drink and drive. Don't drink and drive. Don't do it, little girl. Don't do it, little girl. Don't do it. Cease and desist me. No kidding. We should have her here. Come on, Luscious.
