Happy New Year everybody! Hope everybody had a safe and wonderful holiday. Speaking to a very special lady earlier the topic of new year’s resolutions came up and we talked about what mine would be this year. Each year I have old reliables such as:
- Don’t swear as much
- Exercise and meditate more
- Cut down on the sweets, red meat.
- Eat more vegetables.
You know, the usual stuff. There are a few additions though this year. Here are some of them:
- To find out and remember the eye color of every new person you meet: In other words, to look them in the eye. Not only does it show sincerity, it makes for a great first impression :)
- Give to charity: There are givers and takers, for too long I’ve been the latter and it’s about time I joined the former.
- Read more: Ah yes, by this time next year when I tell people I’m well read it will mean more than checking the box scores and reading the funny pages :)
- Be more patient: With people, inanimate objects, myself - in general. It is a virtue I’ve been told repeatedly, might as well be a virtue I have in abundance no?
- Write more: That means this blog. I’ve been slacking off dear readers and for that I am sorry. I promise to post more often. The posts may be silly and sometimes be downright non- sensical but they will be there :)
- To let the people I care about know how much they mean to me: A hug here, a kiss there, a kind word here, an affectionate touch there. So to those that I love (and you know who you are). I love you :)
Thanks for reading :)

The other day I gave my mom a lift to Target because she needed to re-stock those fancy little bathroom soaps that are supposed to be for “decorative purposes” only but my father ends up using anyway (”I like the smell”, is what he’d say when caught soapy handed ^_^)
Can’t get by without the paper? Fine. At least don’t look at the ads. Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA(RIP). These were the things that I looked forward to in the Sunday paper. I was not interested in the weather. The comics were nice, but those could always wait. Never mind what was going on in my neck of the woods, much less the world, the ads had to be looked at first. Sunday morning @ 9am sharp I would fetch the paper from the driveway, plop it up on the kitchen table, and proceed to dismantle the thing until I found those precious Sunday ads.
