I only have one 2009 resolution: not to make any more idiotic resolutions.  All they do is make me pissed at myself and self-fail at stupid unnecessary goals.  Was 2008 a failure because I didn’t read a bunch of books?  Nope.  Still very pleased with 2008 – had a great year – family rocked, business is doing well, my health is actually pretty good considering I’m getting my chub on, and so on.  Screw resolutions, I don’t need to make myself feel like dook for not doing some random junk I thought of the first hopeful day of a new year.   How’s that for the bloggy start to 2009?  Whoo, 2009!!
