A Brand New Year


Below are my New Years resolutions for 2008. Yes, these are a joke. (I'm all FOR personal change, but I think the habit of making Grand Pronouncements on January 1st is a wee bit silly.)

  • Gain weight. At least 30 pounds.
  • Stop exercising. Complete waste of time.
  • Read less. Why bother thinking?
  • Watch more TV. Think of all the good stuff I might have been missing!
  • Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow.
  • Take a vacation to someplace important.... like to see the world's largest ball of twine.
  • Start being superstitious, and begin using the "evil eye" to ward off enemies.
  • Personal goal: bring back disco. Dress like an extra from “Flashdance”.
  • Buy an '83 low-rider Eldorado and get a really loud stereo system; the kind that makes the windows vibrate. Tint the windows purple and buy some pink fur for the dash.
  • Wear hip hugger jeans that are 2 sizes too small. Accent this with a midriff baring top. Don't forget the navel ring to complete the look.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As always, Dave Barry's "Year in Review" is hilarious and worth reading. Below is a link to his 2007 Year In Review column from the Miami Herald:
