When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Aught five went so well I've resolved to change nothing. Maintain a pack a day, a bottle of Patron a weekend, a book a week, a video game a month, and as many CEUs as my employer will allow me.
Ask this girl out I've been meaning to but never found the time/courage to because I know for a fact I'll get shot down.

Get on the prosecution in Mock Trial although they plan to screw me over and give me the worst role even though I've done more work than the rest of the bloody team combined times the speed of light squared (literally)
Get compared to Hitler/Stalin/Mao/Mussolini/Goebbels/Pinochet/Castro/et cetera; less.
Sample every fine German/Belgian/Austrian/Swiss beer on the planet (prob not possible but I'll try).

Before joining in, I think it's very important to remember last year's resolutions at a time like this, a scorecard of sorts:
-Quit smoking (done)
-Lose 30 lbs (half done, and I am on regular exercise)
-Learn Mandarin (a wee bit of improvement, but not yet fluent)
-Pay off all non-capital (mortage, car) debts (DONE! miserable credit cards are history!)
So, I've got 2 carry-overs, the whole health/fitness things and learning Chinese.
To this list, I'm going to add 2 new ones:
-Be an optimist. I'm tired of worry, fear, doubt and anger... I'm going to spend one year looking at the bright side of everything (even Democrats) and see where that takes me. If I'm wrong, well, I can return with a vengance in 2007, just in time for the next presidential election.![]()
-Get my temper in check. I'd like to see 40 (which will be my baby's 5th birthday) and if I don't ratchet down a notch or two at work and in debates, I'm skeptical on my odds. Without getting into too much detail, I've learned in the past few months, my problems with sources of angst (work, the backroom) stem from me. Thus, I'm going to follow Beirut's lead and stay up front where it's a little warmer for a while.
Happy New Year everyone.

Get laid with two women at the same time whilst listening to industrial music really loud. Every 5 minutes for 2 hours and then we all go to sleep.
I did that last night at a party with two Mexican girlsOriginally Posted by Byzantine Prince
But difference is that we were listening to Afro-Latin music
...and I went home after we got done

You have excellent tastes in liquor.:cheers:Originally Posted by Proletariat
Mine:
1) Get crunked less often/drink more responsibly.
2) Marathon (need to start training soon).
3) Try a couple psychadellics responsibly; it's a life experience by all accounts.
4) Keep the A's, start practicing for the LSAT.
