Do it Yourself New Year's Eve (espíritu bricomanía)

It's time to introduce Pan Dudek (Mr. Hoopoe) to you and, after having read his wise ideas, alternative plans for tonight will emerge and multiply. There's no need to depend on money and dinners or discos, full of people. "Build yourself a night, that allows you to feel free and away from conventions", says Dr. Dudek. "we should give ourselves the chance to feel free, every moment, and more on so-called-special-occasions", states Dudek.
1- A healthy option is that of doing playback of any old song (80es songs are the best ones, on this purpose) and dance. Dr. Dudek reccommends dancing wearing white socks and no shoes. Movements must be free.
2- Try to get rid of all negative energies, accumulated throughout 2005, by doing exercise. This option is compatible with that one of doing playback (but in that case choose songs such as "hot stuff" by Donna Summer or "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor"...or any hymn by YMCA...they simply work better)
3- Reading a dictionary while listening to relaxing music. Any dictionary will work. Latin or Polish ones are two good options. Those having a dictionary of Catalan Language have another good option. Dictionary option helps to widen the mind and build interesting links observing ethimology. In some cases, we can come across hilarious and amazing words that might change something within our minds.
4- Sleep and dream. Another healthy option. Ah!...welcoming the new year full of energy and health.
5- You can also watch some old movie on TV/VHS/BETA (keep the memory of Betamax videocassettes alive!!!!)/DVD...or some old collection of movies or any strange stuff recorded from tv (such as bRiCoMaNíA, Vaya Semanita, Videoclips from the 80es, the adventures of Steve Irwin & family and crocodiles or the adventures of Stéphane Peyron around the world).
6- Pray for Betamax, chicken and other birds menaced by birdflu, all people and nations suffering, endangered species, the souls of those who passed away, Heidi, Marco, Candy Candy and other old anime tragedy heroes, all almost-forgotten songs, Maxwell Smart, radiocassettes, Vinyl LPs from the 60es and 70es, pray for the healing of all kind of wounds...and all susceptible-to-be-prayed-for-things. Patience required.
Taking these ideas, some other analogue magical-do-it-yourself formulae might be discovered/created. It's all up to you. Have a nice New Year's Eve..and may 2006 bring many positive things to you all. Möge die Macht mit dir sein!!!

nope...i didn't consider all Mr. Dudek's ideas yesterday at night...nor in the first minutes of 2006...after toasting with alcohol-free beer. Once 2006 came i went to listen to music and write in my bedroom and soon fell asleep. I had to get up early to record & watch a documentary on TV (the video was already set to record a movie on a different videotape). But before welcoming 2006 i had been doing some exercise (arms), reading, and singing, as always. I did some playback/singing (hehe) of songs such as "za ciosem cios" by Kombi (polish), a couple of songs in german by Koncz Zsuzsa (or Zsuzsa Koncz...i don't know..a woman from Hungary)..happy songs indeed...and a bit of "i want to break free" (queen), "native love" (divine), "romance de josé etxailarena" (marea, spanish rock from Navarra)...
and this morning..i got up at 6:25, (i was half-awaken since 6, though) had breakfast, watched the documentary and had a look at other things on tv...then read, practised chinese characters and got a call from a friend from Euskadi(uooooo!!!! Juanmaaa!!! ya iré a Elgoibar un día de estos!!! hay que, hay que! ese rock&roll y música hortera...lástima perdérmelos!uo...hombres G, la Carrá y las Vulpess...y "boig per tu", de Sau...q grandes). And the day is being peaceful and i'm not sleepy at all...
positive attitude!alternative plans!
