New Year’s Resolutions
Seeing that everyone is making a New Year’s resolution, or more than one, I offer my 10 resolutions for 2010 in no particular order.
1) I will not be persuaded to buy a Blackberry, iPod or any other handheld device that combines a phone, computer, camera, apps (whatever the hell they are) text messaging or anything else that allows people to communicate with me when all I want is some privacy.
2) I will continue my policy of never ever watching a reality show whether it be the Housewives from Hell or some idiots who exploit a bunch of kids.
3) I won’t be signing on to Facebook, nor will I Twitter or Tweet. I do a lot of interesting things but I don’t feel I have to tell everyone, nor do I have any desire to post my photo or any info about me so that people who I knew in the past can contact me. If I wanted to stay in touch with anyone, I would have already done so and I would have done it by phone.
4) I will continue to put my shopping cart in the parking lots’ designated drop spots in malls or at supermarkets while glaring or making nasty comments to those people who don’t. When did we start getting so lazy that we can’t walk 20 feet to put a shopping cart out of the way?
5) I will, whenever and wherever possible, help the homeless in any way I can. There might be a bunch of bums amongst them, but the majority are people who really do need our help. There but for the grace of God…….
6) I will not under any circumstance put a television set in my bedroom. A bedroom is for two things only and they both start with S. The choice is yours which is more important.
7) I will continue my quest for the perfect woman, which, I readily admit, is an impossible task but fun pursuing.
8) I will not stop ranting at the greed of big business which is destroying our country nor the bureaucracy of our government that endangers our lives.
9) I will continue to criticize the media who has lost its way and believes they are here to create the news rather than report it.
10) I will pray for peace.
