2 weeks post NYE Res time and I've aleady broken almost all of them. That's right, I am a weak, weak human. This is why NYE Resolutions get such a bad rep...I guess they are made to be broken.
So, I know I said I wasn't going to be drinking except on very special occasions and that I would NOT be going clubbing on Sobe anymore, because we're broken up. Well, as luck would have it, I went to a business dinner on Sobe with my former crush, 2 other guys from work, and one of our bank partners. 4 guys and me..not a bad ratio if I do say so myself. Dinner turned into ice cream on Lincoln Rd that then turned into 2 games of pool at Lucky Strike leading to a cab ride to one of Sobe's hottest clubs on a Thursday night, Mokai. If you know anything about clubbing, the 4:1 ration isn't getting you in unless you buy a table which will run you at least $600. We decided we'd try our luck at the Delano hotel where there is a new club/lounge that opened called Florida Room. We had all heard good things about it, so off to the Delano we went. The guys realized that we weren't getting into the Florida Room either if we didn't recruit some more females. Within 5 minutes the guys found 2 girls totally willing to drink from our bottles. Florida Room was cool, we ended up getting a table there for the bargain price of $300. From a business stand point, we made the right move. From a personal stand point, I was hating life. My crush was totally kickin it to one of the girls we recruited (who was soooo not hot) and it was starting to erk me. We left Florida Room and then went to Cameo....gerrrr, yes Cameo. How the hell did I get suckered into this? Sobe alwas does this to me, that's why I have to stay far, far away. At this point, I feel ugly, because mind you, I'm still in my work clothes...not exactly how I represent on Sobe. So Cameo was...Cameo. Packed full of drunks and coke heads. We danced and had a good time, but as my luck would have it, my crush and the new girl were practically making out. I went from being erked to being PISSED. Somehow I built my case by thinking that he shouldn't be grinding and making out with a girl in front of one of our business partners, even though, I'm sure our business partner was jealous and wishing he could have been cheating on his wife right then instead of watching my crush make out with mediocre girl. Well, finally I had enough of this torture and I left. I said goodbye to everyone and hailed a cab. Well, guess what? I didn't have any cash and cabs in MIA don't take credit cards. Rather than go to an ATM, I decided I'd walk it. I took that opportunity to cry and hate my lonely life as well as bash my crush for kicking it to Miss Mediocre right in front of my face. Not to mention, my feet were killing me, I'm still in my work clothes at 4am, and bums and crack heads are whispering at me in the bushes. It was a very sobering experience to say the least. Luckily, I made it to my car before my feet broke into a million pieces. So there you have it, my most important resolution broken due to a business dinner that was only supposed to last an hour.

Lucy and I are on good terms again. She's been reaching out to me lately, but I've been unresponsive. I just didn't know what to say, and I especially wasn't ready to let her back in again. Well, I went shopping yesterday and who do I run into at Express? Lucy. I felt like it happened for a reason, so I just ceased the day and we went and grabbed a coffee at Starbucks. We spoke for HOURS, and now we're cool again. Forgivness isn't easy, but if you want to keep your friends and you want to live a happy full life, then it is very necessary. It felt great to put it all on the table, and I really and truly feel like we have a fresh start at our friendship. Phewww!!!
