My Resolutions for 2006

Now I know most of you couldn't care less about what my resolutions for this year are. But, I like to do this because it makes a record of my resolutions and I am, therefore, accountable for completing them.

Let me start off by saying that resolutions are a good thing. I think it is a wonderful idea for us to come up with ways to improve ourselves and to make goals that we can achieve throughout the year. I fully support those people who honestly strive to complete these goals year after year. There are some people, however, who try to make goals that are simply unattainable. Some examples are: Be prettier; get an 'A' in Math; or assassinate Hugo Chavez. The people who make those resolutions have problems. I don't know what they are, but they have them nonetheless.

The people I really hate are the people who think they are very clever and say stuff like, "My resolution this year is not to have a resolution." Well, congratulations buddy, you already failed and the year hasn't even started yet.

So, with that being said, here are my 10 resolutions I hope to accomplish this year. (I'm being more careful since in 2004 I made a resolution to get married as a joke, but it ended up happening anyway.)

1. If anyone asks me for a ride, I take them to Lagoon and drop them off.

2. Give a homeless guy foreign currency.

3. Read a book that doesn't have pictures in it.

4. Eat Pop Rocks and drink a Coke at the same time. (I'm just curious)

5. Stop that annoying habit of throwing girls into walls.

6. Join the Merchant Marines (do they even have that anymore?)

7. Jump a motorcycle through a flaming hoop while flying over 15 buses, and not dying.

8. Start drinking Mexican tap water.

9. Lose weight.

10. Come up with a shorter list for 2007.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!

This is a little cartoon drew on a letter to my brother who is serving an LDS mission in Boise Idaho.

I'M NOT DEAD YET!

Well, for the very few of you who check regularly to see if I've posted anything this will come as a very pleasant surprise. I'm back, you might say. It's been over a month since my last post which happens occasionally due to finals and other things, like not having internet access in my house since Thanksgiving.

Well, I finally got hooked onto the iProvo network which is all fiber optics and now I'm surfing the web as fast as I darn well please. They came and installed it on my birthday which was pretty cool. Yes, I am now twenty five! I am officially starting to get old.

I'm mostly posting to let people know that I am going to post again. It's a post to tell you I will post in the future. That's really confusing. Of course, I'm very simple minded. A Jedi Master would have no trouble whatsoever messing with my head. These are not the droids I'm looking for. You can go about your business. Move along.

Now that I've posted on my blog, it's also time for another podcast. Maybe tomorrow if I'm not incredibly busy I'll get to that. I have some new stuff to talk about so it should be pretty fun. For now, just sleep well knowing that soon, I will be back to my old bloggy self again. Yea!
