They say that you should bring the new year in as you mean to continue. I’m a little sceptical about that as it means most people have a year of way too much alcohol and poorly judged sexual encounters.
For me, going on last night it does mean I’ll have great friends around me but it also means I’ll be watching people I’ve introduced hook up and I’ll be sleeping alone for the year. This may sound melodramatic but I don’t know how many more New Year’s I can ring in with no one special. It SUCKS and I’m over it. New Year’s Eve always brings me undone and last night it felt like counseling had done nothing for me at all, which isn’t the case. I allow myself to be pathetic and tragic on New Years and also that day ridiculously commercial but hard for singles, Valentines Day.
Oh well, let’s bring on the challenges of 2009! Happy New Year everyone.
Happy New Year from Reykjavik Iceland!
Brenton I know exactly how you feel, ever since I got back from my pre Christmas vacation I’ve been severely depressed, I don’t know how many more holidays I can endure alone either, so sweetie you’re not alone in that!
I definitely hear you on the loneliness. I had hoped to attend a party thrown by a couple of friends and maybe at least kiss a boy on the cheek tonight. Sadly, before I even got there, I had an unexpected kidney stone attack, which left me doubled over in pain, vomiting, and generally unpleasant when the clock struck 12M. If this portends the year to come, I am in for a hell of an unpleasant ride.
2009 will be different. The holidays always depress people. I felt sort of sad being away from family in Texas (USA). But like you, I could only take so much bonding–it does get crazy. Brenton, you have so much to be thankful for (e.g., your handsome, interesting, have great health, talented, did I mention handsome (naked)). You will meet someone. When it does, you won’t know how to contain yourself. Your so very young and have so much ahead of you to look forward to. Hugs from Maryland (USA). Lee
Brenton,
It’s like I could have written that. I was “fine” with being home alone NYE, but, then I said what the heck, went out to my fav restaurant, saw my good friends who work there and it lifted my mood. I got home, opened a small bottle of champagne and at midnight toasted with my best friend Dorothy ( I know, go ahead and say it) who was on the phone over 1,000 miles away. While I was “alone”, I really wasn’t. It made me realize what’s important: your health and support network (friends). Relationships may come and go, but the true friends are there forever.
Keep up the great work sexy, you have friends out here that are a mouse click away!

I was kind of feeling down too. I’m in Palm Springs. I was in the hot tub at midnight, the only single among 4 attractive, naked, gay couples. I was feeling out of place, wishing I had a partner to be with.
At midnight I got a kiss from the guys on either side of me. Then the sex started. Of course I joined in. It was a lot of fun! So many attractive, naked guys to play with. It was my first time with group sex.
However, when I made it back to my room a few hours later, I realized that I didn’t want a partner who was interested in group sex. I’m not judging these guys, I just want a partner who’s monogamous and is into me. Perhaps I’m old fashioned.
Happy New Year Brenton!
And though it might sound foolish to you: your time will come.
Last new year’s eve was our first with absolute silence at 00.00. We all realized we all hooked up, so we were kissing.
That was the moment I realized I didn’t have to pay special attention to those who were alone.
There comes a time for everyone to settle down, exept maybe for those two sisters with 12 cats who still live together and probably die together happily alone.
hola from OKlahoma!

Happy New Year from British Columbia.
I wish I was in sunny Australia right now, cuddled up with a cuddly Aussieboy!
Brenton, Happy New Year to you mate. I hope that 2009 answers all your prayers and desires. Don’t let your singlehood get you down. You are an amazing young man who shares his life with us. and we appreciate that. Lets make 2009 the year that one special man finds you.
