Another Year Already?

If you're reading this on Dec. 20 you'll note that there are only 11 days left in 2006.

Huh? Where did 2006 go? Man, these years are just flying by now. Only 2.5 years until my next HS reunion. Ugh. I gotta hurry up and make that first million so I'll have something to boast about.

Do y'all have any New Year's resolutions?

I guess it's time to get started on mine so here's a try:

Attend a Cowboys game at Texas Stadium-- good shot here as bro-in-law James has secured playoff tix, I just have to get to Dallas and hope the 'boys are there versus on the road.

Learn more Spanish than my 3-year-old. I'd like to be fluent enough to negotiate some landscaping work using only Spanish.

Learn to play the guitar-- so that I can serenade the aforementioned landscaping worker

Cook 12 new recipes

Complete reading the Bible in a year with my wife

Lose 10 lb.-- this may be the first year I've said I need to do that and it's actually true

Become more involved in ministry opportunities within my church and community-- I've already got plans lined up for teaching computer classes in Caldwell

Avoid my annual rants on the same topics. These include:

• How much I hate the BCS


• Gratuitous rants about Ole Miss and Coach O. But I reserve the right to rant if they deserve it, such as recruiting illiterate football players like Jerrell Powe.


• How much I hate Memphis. I do reserve the the right to continually rant about the criminal jackasses we like to refer to as the Fords


• Stop bitching to Zack about FedEx being retarded with their complete separation of Ground and Express services


• Stop hatin' on Wal-Mart. HAHAHAHAHAAHA !!! Just kidding. Wal-Mart's getting a dirty sanchez from me in '07

Break 90. Something I haven't done since my first love affair with golf 17 years ago.

Get re-certified in one Microsoft technology. Dear goodness I took a long break after that first test. So long that I think it won't be much longer before it expires.

Learn exactly why the Sunnis and Shiites hate each other so much.

Make sure my wife and shawties know every day how much I love them.
