I was thinking about the New Year.  At first, even though I don’t make New Year’s resolutions I thought about trying to be more positive.  After every negative statement I would say something positive.  Giving this more thought I realized that if I was going to do that, then why would I say anything negative to begin with?  Okay, so I won’t say anything negative.  Giving this a moment more thought I came to the conclusion that if I wouldn’t say anything negative I’d probably never speak again.  While some may view that as a positive, I view it as a negative which is why I don’t make resolutions.

So what does the New Year hold?  I don’t know.  I can however hope.

I hope:

                My friends and family stay happy and healthy.

                The positive always outweighs the negative.

                The economy improves and people start finding work again.

I hope:

                To finish off some home renovations, to get our garage under some sort of control, to put my tools to good use

                To make the term ‘Rat Bastard’ popular again!  If you are with me on this then put a ‘Hell Yeah’ in the comments section, if not, then you are part of the problem you Rat Bastards, you know who you are.

                To make some new friends and keep up with the old

                They don’t cancel the show, ‘Wipe Out’

                To keep my wife from sticking her finger in my ear, (don’t ask)

I hope:

                This year with my wife will be as wonderful as the last 9 years.

To You:

                To paraphrase Mr. Spock, ‘Live happy and prosper’
