Yeah, the video didn’t embed exactly correct, but you can still watch it here… but I recommend going to the TED site and watching it there, then reading more.

So I’ve actually made some resolutions. Yep. Not gonna list ‘em all here, but I’ll tell ya the toughest one is not to be such a curmudgeon.

One idea I had was to do pushups in increasing amounts according to what day of the year I’m on. January 1st, I did one pushup. I did two the next day, then three, then four yesterday, and five today. I’m not sure how long I’ll last but I’m going to give it a shot. By summer I’ll either be really good at pushups or laughing at what a stupid idea this was.

Yeah… we’ll see. I’m willing to give it a shot (I corrected it, but the first thing I typed just there wasn’t “shot” it was “shit”… Freudian?). I’ve had absolutely NO extra bandwidth the past several weeks, but I’m hoping that gets better in the new year. So here we go…

Oh, and ya gotta dig that video still, huh?

Yeah!  Whatever holiday you celebrate!

2012 will be my year.  I’m going to resolve to fix everything that needs fixing.  You’ll see…

Yeah it’s been a while since I posted blahblahbla… I’ve been really busy blahblahbla…

I’ve been having a grouchity morning today.  Been having a few grouchity mornings lately.  Evenings too.  Grouchity grouchity grouchity.  On top of that I go to log onto my blog only to find some asshole used a keylogger to get my password and wreak havoc here and Bluehost suspended the account (which I’ve obviously cleared up).  I’d say that put me in a really bad mood if I weren’t in a really bad mood already…

Hey!  It’s almost the new year.  I guess I was supposed to capitalize “New Year,” but I don’t understand the point of that.  Grammar tangent aside, it’s nearing the time when we all promise to make life changes based on a totally arbitrary notion of a human-created time system (one that not even all humans really adhere to).  Usually I’m pretty poo-poo on this notion (surprised?) but this year I’m gonna change all that.  No, really… shutup… really…

This year it’s time for me to make some changes.  This year I…

First of all, I need to stop being such a grouchy fucking asshole.  Really, seriously… I need to take some lessons from the duck’s butt and just let the bad shit roll off.  I need to “not sweat the small stuff.”  You know, like it says in that book by Dr. Wayne What’s-His-Name?  The guy who took a cover photo cropping off the top of his head so you couldn’t see he was bald?  Oh wait… that photo was on the book with the misleading title that sounded sexually suggestive.  Whatever.  He’s pretty open about his baldness lately, apparently.  Shit.  Another tangent.

Like I said, I need to be more positive and just let shit go.  Seriously… and I have to stop all the goddamned cussing too.

Here’s where I throw in the bit about eating better and losing weight and all that…

You know what?  Screw the resolutions.

It’s December already?  Holy crap!  Not only has “in real life” kept me away from my blog, it’s apparently kept me away from my calendar too!  Guess I’d better put up the Christmas tree and start shopping, huh?  Oh, and maybe blogging more.  Whatever I do, I don’t wanna make one of those “pathetic excuse for not blogging” blogs.  If you don’t already, read BikeNovice.com, as I post there almost every day.  I’ll still post here, I promise, but that’s a pretty good blog too.  Speaking of blogs, I’m thinking I might even shut off comments ’cause nobody every comments on the WordPress part of the blog anyway… Facebook, yes, when I link it, but not here… Just spam robots… or maybe not?… Are you out there, non-robot types?…
