It's still 10:30 here . Hate to break it to ya but the New Year started a long time ago, 15+- 5 hrs or so...
Your argument i.e. that you live in the East Coast is invalid. Simple. Anyways, 30 mins 'til the New Year (here)...
It's an argument? Wait... Are you saying that the east coast is a LIE? And that I've been on a popular TV show called "Herp's World" my whole life but never knew about it? THIS IS MADNESS!!1!1111!!! I love being tired........
It's what all the cool kids are down so... On a related note, it's officially 2009 here. Meaningless really...
