Da End Is Near
By Braddah Lance
Da end of da year is nearly hea
As we count our blessings and go buy beea
Be grateful for da yea dat has come and gone
We get fo' start all ovah yet keep truckin' on
Excitement fills da air as da day tick tocks
Some off early, some gotta watch da clock
Take it easy and just chillax
Cause once pau hana you have to build your mana
Its a long weekend so no be a fool
No mo' firecrackahs.... boo hoo hoo
It still going be nuts, a lot less smoke
At least save money yet we're still broke
Get your $100 sashimi, get your kadomatsu
Everybodies, just do wat you do
Bring in da New Year with your own flare and style
We all get different kine traditions on dis isle
So long as you pah-tay hard and pah-tay safe
Alcoholics, no tempt fate
Drink we must, drive no need
Hand ovah da keys and just concede
As we all watch and countdown together
Hugs and kisses no mattah da weather
Once it strikes zero we say Hau'oli Makahiki Hou
Hopefully da best one is with your beau 
From Braddah Lance, Da Wife and Da Baby to Da WWD! Hui
Have a great New Year.... hopefully no stay chop suey.
Wassup Wit Dat!

... hey Braddah Lance ... luv da poem ... New Year's local style!!! ...
... some lines no rhyme ... I was trying to repeat it and see if I missed it, haha ... but still good, no matter if rhyme or not ... maybe you took poem lessons from the Queen Bee Shauna ...
... and whoa ... your blog title seems ominous ... I'm going to look at it as a new beginning!!! ... a renewal ... a fresh start ... or restart ... just looking forward to better things to come!!! ...
"Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world (Ann Landers).
... Have a HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!!! ...

I want to wish BL and Family all the best in 2012. The same goes for all the Kwonics and Lanceformers as well. My only prediction for the new year is that the Mayan Doomsday will not come true. It will be a great year for everyone.
All the best.
