Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Y'all!

I was thinking about what to write this New Year's Day... something deep and profound acknowledging all the things I've learned over the last year and how I have grown and become a better person? Count my blessings, be thankful for what I have and perhaps wax eloquently on my goals for the new year, my hopes, my dreams, my ambitions? Then I thought, NAH... no one wants to read that shit and besides, I want what we all want: An Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!

Okay, maybe we don't all want that, but we all want to be happy, healthy, have a nice place to live, improve ourselves in some postive way and have a job we can tolerate enough not to think about going postal six times a day so why be redundant? We all want to quit bad habits, start good habits, eat better, make more money and die with a smile on our faces. (Get it... redundant joke... it's in there... look harder.)

Why add to the morass of blog entries in the world that all pretty much say the same thing? Is it human nature? Does voicing these ambitions in a public forum somehow make them more real? Does it somehow commit us to doing the things we say we want to do or face public humiliation for not making a serious enough attempt at them? What does it all mean? Why is the damn sky blue anyway? And while I'm at it, why does the world care so damn much about Paris Hilton? Why? Why? Why?

Okay, so maybe this entry was deeper than I thought it would be. Certainly deeper than Miss Hilton anyway. Damn that girl is icky! In closing, may you all have a happy, healthy, millionaire skank-whore free year! May you all achieve the things you want to achieve and join me for a drink next year to ponder the things we did not. May you have a Great 2008!
