New Years Resolution...

So, I don't bother much with New Year's Resolutions, because I'm realistic enough to know that most of them will fall by the wayside. So, I won't be using my gym membership more (yes, amazingly enough I do have one), and I won't be eating better (thank you Jack In The Box for a great breakfast this morning). I won't be doing more projects around the house or anything of that nature. No, I kept my New Year's Resolutions rather short and sweet this year: Get a job. Write more.

Hopefully the first one will come through soon enough. But the second one I can definitely start working on right away. I can't promise that I'll have great blog posts all the time, but I will endeavor to post more often, even if they are short, as this one will be.

I just wanted to throw that out there, and then put in a little joke that was sent to me, as well as my rebuttal to it. No matter which side of the political aisle you're on, you can enjoy one side or the other.

Happy New Year my loyal readers (all two or three of you). I'm feeling like 1/1/11 is all about the renewal.

To My Democrat Friends:


Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011 but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.



To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!


Have a blessed Christmas!



---------My Rebuttal-----------------------


To my progressive liberal friends around the world: No matter what holiday you celebrate during this season, we wish you and your family well.


To my conservative friends around the world: Merry Christmas. Because of course, Christmas is the only holiday worth celebrating, and if you're not with us, you're against us. Christmas is the holiday of NASCAR, the NRA, and the American Family Association, which so clearly represent the best interests of the world as a whole. I mean, surely those billions of people around the world who don't celebrate it just haven't opened their hearts to Jesus. Also, to the gays, blacks and other people who are impinging on our holiday, don't you have Kwanzaa or some "gay" holiday that you can celebrate instead? I mean, Christmas is a time for the children of Jesus to celebrate, and that ain't you folks. So crack open a Bud Light to toast the new year my friends, ours is the enlightened path!
