    Default New Years resolutions

    So...any good new years resolution's?

    Mine is to do one thing that scares me at least once a month
    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...

    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.

    If you stick to the other resolutions or even a portion of them, this one will be a walkover. I like your greed for knowledge and your intellectual ambition. I hope it all comes true, Kaiser.

    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.

    3) Try a couple psychadellics responsibly; it's a life experience by all accounts.

    4) Keep the A's, start practicing for the LSAT.
