People from around the country flocked to Times Square Sunday to shake off some bad ju-ju by shredding their worst memories from 2014 in hopes of starting the new year with a clean slate.
Denyse Moore, 45, of Connecticut traveled to the city to smash a heart-shape rock with a sledgehammer in order to rid herself of the painful memory of her husband sleeping with her best friend.
Moore, who is in the process of finalizing her divorce, also chose to shred a piece of paper with the words "hormonal men" written on it.

"Good Riddance Day" is an annual event that is organized by paper shredding company Shred-It.
Those who attend cathartically shred pictures of their exes, mortgage papers for homes they've paid off, medical bills from illnesses they've beat or are battling, among other items.
"Bad boyfriends get shredded a lot, every year," said Times Square Alliance president Tim Tompkins.
Luisa Chan, an accountant from Long Island City, decide to shred her deceased sister's medical records.
"It's time to move on," she said, adding that she believed the shredding would symbolically help her sister too.
Angie Robinson, of Virginia, wanted to purge her father's old business records that date back to 1980.
"I wish I could have brought all thirty boxes," she said.

Lennieaisha Blake, a 29-year-old woman from Brooklyn said she was there to get rid of all the year's work and family stress — including handling payroll at her HR job and helping her parents remodel their home.
"I can't wait for this year to be over," she said.
Charlene Flores, of Jacksonville, Florida has one wish for the new year — too breathe easier. That's why the 28-year-old astmatic symbolically smashed her inhaler.
"I just want it to go away," she said. "So, hopefully in 2015, I can breathe better."
