US Coast Guard Base Galve­ston: 31 De­cem­ber 31 1978
Right out of boot, I went out on the town with a sea­man named Pat, bought Rip­ple at the first 711 off base, got a ride into town from a stranger who gave us beer, bought a gro­cery bag full of fireworks. 

Went to the Con­ven­tion Cen­ter where there was a His­pan­ic par­ty in the the­atre, we were the only white guys there, the white par­ty was downstairs. 

There were bot­tles on every ta­ble and we went around drink­ing from them while peo­ple were danc­ing. We went out­side, me with a stolen fifth of rum, where Pat got ac­cost­ed by three guys for, “Lookin’ at my girl­friend, Holmes?”

I left, went out on the 4 lane sea­wall di­rect­ing traf­fic in the mid­dle, drunk as a skunk. 

Got picked up by a cop, tak­en to the base, threw up in his car, at which point I asked the gate guard to hose me down with the fire hose, which he did. 

I woke up the next morn­ing hav­ing peed my­self, my bed, the rack be­low me, and the floor. I then had gal­ley duty. I threw up for 4 days and still can’t stom­ach whiskey. Those were the days.

2018 will not be a hap­py year. 

It will be a year of more hate, fears, and ig­no­rance. A year of wors­ened cli­mate change and over­turned en­vi­ron­men­tal laws. 

A year of more lies, racism, cru­el­ty, misog­y­ny, and homophobia. 

A year of in­tel­li­gent, kind, peo­ple say­ing, “I give up, what’s the use?”

So no, I do not wish you a “Hap­py New Year,” I just pray you, your loved ones, the world, and I sur­vive it.
