My New Year’s Resolutions

My New Year’s Resolutions:

*I can start by giving up a vice; let’s see I don’t overeat, take drugs, smoke, fool around… Dang, I need to take up a vice for the new year.

*I need to perform random acts of kindness. I can help an elderly lady walk across the street. Yeah right, and have the old hag sue me if I bruise her arm.

*I will write the “Great American Essay” that will garner compliments even from the MND conservatives. Right, and pigs will fly out of my posterior. I could channel Shakespeare and the resident MND conservatives will still find fault with my masterpiece.

*I will resolve allways too use the spelcheck bfore submitting an esay.

*I will praise at least one MND conservative in 2007. Joyanna demonstrated intelligence and discernment when she expressed admiration for my “Holding Hands Reduces Stress” essay. Done!

*I will be less sarcastic and cynical in 2007 — after all sarcasm goes right over the heads of the MND conservatives.

*I will not write any essay about Britney Spears in 2007. This resolution is conditional on Britney not doing anything stupid in the new year.

*I will not read any nice comments I receive in 2007, after all I shouldn’t feed the “monstrous ego” that one of my fans accused me of having.

*And finally, I will not lose this list of resolutions. Now where did I put that list?

    Robert, that is really funny! Ooops, sorry, I’m feeding your ego!

    As far as random acts of kindness, I know a good one! Every time someone does something nice to you, such as a grocery clerk smiling at you, send them a thankyou note! LOL, won’t that freak them out?!

    If you want to write an essay that all of the MND conservatives like, try somehow posting as another writer, and taking on their ideaology! They will not even know it is you!

    You know, spelling is over-rated, you don’t need to worry about that! Who in the USA nowadays would even notice? If you spell bad, you will blend in with the majority!

    You have already done a fantastic job of leaving out the sarcasm. I have detected none at all!

    I think this will be a great year for Brittany. I hear she is with a football player now, so she has another male play toy to screw over! I’m sure she will be a fantastic mother, have no “wardrobe malfunctions”, and be a good model for young women! So I am sure you will not have to write even one piece about her this year, unless it is about how much she has improved!

    You didn’t lose the list of resolutions, I stole it! I am going to model my resolutions after yours, they are so dang good! Sorry, I am feeding your ego again!

    Gosh, I wish we MND readers were half so righteous and vice free as the saintly Robert Paul Reyes. (Hope this doesn’t go right over the heads of any other MND readers)

    In the next year I resolve to try to listen more and talk less. I also resolve to remember each day what a blessing my family is. In the day-to-day grind you can sometimes forget that.

    I also resolve to remember what a blessing to this country LEGAL AND LAW ABIDING immigrants are. Despite all the people doing the wrong thing, those legal immigrants follow the rules. They are wonderful and I am glad to have people of such outstanding character!

    I suggest Mr. Reyes’ resolution be a promise to stop being such a blatant Hispanic supremacist and realize that ALL races have to follow the law. All year long we have read him condemning people for breaking rules or laws except when Hispanics are involved.

    That is racism pure and simple! All readers please remember to remind him of that every time he condemns someone.

    Very good piece Robert, and funny! If I were in the room with you…I would certainly take hold of your hand!

    Wasn’t it you that said, “Lists are made to be lost?”

    As far as resolutions…I made one, and broke it five minutes later, and yes, it was delicious.

    Having been divested of all my worldly goods by someone who took me literally and literally took me, I have left little to give up. Some aspects of me, maybe?

    There’s at least 25 kilos of frontal fullness available for leaving behind in last year; let’s hope it doesn’t just shift behind or I would make an even bigger arse of myself.

    There are one or two habits, mainly of a personal, unthinking nature, that could do with a day off. 365 days off may see them gone altogether. But I tried that several years ago. It didn’t work then and I very much doubt if even global warming will affect them now.

    Vices? Good Lord! I don’t have vices, I have personal idiosyncracies, eccentricities, and some of them are the only things that keep me occupied at all. They make me the unique and wonderfully varied and interesting person that I am. Repeat after me “You are a unique and wonder…. etc”

    I suppose I could strive to find RPR’s views agreeable from time to time and resist taking him to task over inconsequentials.

    I could give up big words too!

    Nah. I like them.

    Ah, well. It looks like I will carry on being me, warts and all. It won’t be long before I give up me altogether so I’ll hang onto it all for the moment. This time next year I may not even need to think about it.

    Now, where did I put my marbles?
