New Year's Reso-volutions

How old have I gotten? Well, I missed the whole new year festivities because I was curled up like a cinnamon roll in my bed, at about 10 pm. I told myself, as I drifted into slumber, fireworks sporatically popping around the neighborhood, that I would try to get up around 11:55 or so and bust open some champagne and bring in 2007 properly. I also was seeing, somewhere in my periphery, a giant red castle with little dorm rooms in them and a big meeting room where I had to go to head up a meeting, but first, I had to pick up some food at the local, brick-lined deli. And who was there but this girl I knew from high school, who was very pretty, and who told me that I had a "vodka belly."

So, needless to say, I went on to my dreamy adventures in the castle, and didn't actually wake up until around 5:11 am, when the new year's party was long over, and people were busy sleeping off some serious regret.

However, I was already prepared with my resolutions, so I at least did my holiday duty. I only made five this year. Oh, sure, you can hear what they are!

1. Live each day as if this is as good as it gets.
2. Get rich.
3. Gain weight (this is my trick play to the cosmos, for whenever I profess to LOSE weight, I actually don't lose it, but just hide it from myself somewhere in the belly region and, with only a brief search, promptly find it)
4. Be more truthful. This doesn't mean to quit telling lies, which I don't do, but to delve more deeply into my Jeremiahness, with the risk of alienating maybe a few or more people. After all, I yam what I yam. Maybe you need to know who I yam...
5. Write shorter posts. Even shorter than this one.

7 Back at me:

we were up at midnight, watching the Niners and Broncos... then at 1 Am the transmission stopped, and they started showing British footie! thanks goodness for NFL.com... :)))

but we did take a few minutes to watch 2007 ring in, listening to Big Ben... that was very nice...

love the gain weight bit! what a concept... market it, and you'll get #2 on your list accomplished... :))) btw... we had cinnamon rolls for breakfast on 1 Jan, yum yum... am I losing weight yet?

You stayed up late enough that it was New Year on the east coast. Good enough!
Be who you yam.

It's truly your Jeremiahness we come back for time and time again. I do miss stories of the city lights at night and funky star-vans... I don't recall any star-vans in Jeremiah-land. Then again, we're talking sunbeams as escalators here, right? Stars out, sunbeams in.

OK, got it.

Great resovolutions. More Jeremiahness I look forward to but why shorter posts? Happy New Year Cinaman!

If you say you are D.H. Lawrence reincarnated, I might just believe it.

Belly schmelly, the question is do you look good in your leopard skin pants?

Oo: I fell off already and went to the gym. But, next time, I'm bringing a pizza.

Ipod: I can't talk football right now, after that Cowboy game, which I attended. My heart hurts!

Meno: True. I didn't watch the NY celebration, but I felt it.

TG: Once I get back in the groove of writing here again, I'll do more of that.

Maggie: I tend to go on and on in the long posts. I need reins, bondage, chains...

Emma: What a compliment. Of course, you've now raised the bar on my blogging! Yikes...

Hippo Gnu Ears!

I totally stole that, BTW, as I am not original in the slightest.
