Thomas Brown AVID 365 day 121 12-31-11

I'm still visiting family in new jersey when we occasionally take the train over to new york. I'm mean i already knew it was going to be crowed because on TV it always is. Even while i drove up the day before the exits for new york where all in wall to wall traffic. Te night after the Kwanzaa celebration which we didn't go to bed until three. We woke up the next morning and everybody was all tired because usually we get up go to the train, go over shop and come back. This time we didn't go until about 4:50 and didn't get to times square until 6. It a pretty easy ride over, just hop on a train and get off NY pen station the last stop on the line my aunt didn't even tell us we were but we figured it out when we looked at the clock. This train already had a bunch of parties on there, people already had all types of liquor on the train. Even when we made it into Penn station, the police was on point they had undercover officer, military, k-9 everything. This one entrance in the train station had 6 police all geared up and a dog.We come out on 34 street and two military guys come out with machine guns strapped and ready.We walked all the way up two times square and the blocks around it. because the police had everything barricaded off. They had that whole area on lock. You had to be in times square early that morning to be near the stage and actual ball drop area. So we decided to walk to get something to eat because it was 6 o'clock and we had 6 hours before the ball dropped. It was so packed and crowded. It was actually madness because the side walks were packed and you couldn't move because people were taking pictures. So we ate and came back out we still had another three hours so just stayed in one spot and saw it drop on a jumbo tron. I had some cool 2012 sunglasses. I also had huge party popper cannon that made such a loud bang, it was amazing.
