NEW YEAR'S EVE

Auld acquaintance? Auld acquaintance who?

Ho ho ho ho! I kid my auld acquaintances. How could I ever forget you? You're burned into my memory like every other demoralizing failure and embarassment I've accumulated in my life, held forever in place by the sector of my brain responsible for wanting to bash my  own head in with a hammer.

It's time to take stock of our lives, dear readers. How's everybody doing? Are you where you want to be right now?

Well, don't take it too hard; nobody is. Heck, the first thing Superman thinks when he gets out of bed is that he could stand to lose a few pounds. Discontent is the driving force behind modern American industry. Which, itself, could stand to do a push-up now and again.

I have the same old resolutions, this New Year's; they're coming around for close to the fifteenth year, now. Lose some weight, make more cash, learn more things, organize more efficiently, make more schedules, stick TO more schedules... oh, and stop being so discontent.

Got a resolution? Drop it off in the forum, we'll start a support group.
