2007.
As promised, I've created a new blog. I couldn't come up with a catchy title for it, so I just ran with "365". I plan to shoot at least one picture per day in 2007, and that's where I'll post them. I invite one and all to take a peek and leave comments.
Since I'm nothing if not a lemming, I've made some resolutions/goals for 2007:
1. Lose 2 pounds per month. I'm six foot two, 35 years old, and this morning I weighed in at 200.5 pounds. By this time next year I want to weigh between 175 and 180, hopefully achieved through a combination of exercise and better eating.
2. Get on a budget. As I mentioned, I'm 35 years old - but I manage money like a 12 year old. I have very little savings, and I often find myself coming up short. No excuse for that.
3. Take a standup or improv comedy class. This one will be tough to forget - there's a cool looking little comedy school one floor down from the studio that will taunt me mercilessly if I don't follow through.
4. Get the show online by March 1st. I need lights for the show, and they have proved to be quite elusive. Used lighting kits seem to be made out of unobtaininum, new ones are dang expensive. But I'll figure something out by 3/1.
That's it. Looking at my list, 3 & 4 should be pretty easy. 1 will be harder, 2 will be very tough. It'll be interesting to see how I do.
Continuing the lemming theme, I'd like to make some predictions for 2007:
1. The Minnesota Twins will win the World Series.
2. I will move to California.
3. The Iraq war will continue, with no major changes from the way it is running now. - there will be no substantive troop draw-down this year.
4. Paris Hilton will fade.
5. MySpace will fade.
6. There will be a scandal involving the Bush administration serious enough to garner hearings, the interest of the Attorney General, and talk of impeachment.
7. Gas will consistently cost $3 per gallon by the end of the year.
That's it. Not going out on any huge limbs with any of those, because I always play it safe.
Anyway, here's to a kickass 2007. May it be less filling AND taste great.

Good luck with your resolutions...
by the way - there's no way the Twins win the World Series, lol.
You can't POSSIBLY think the Tigers will make another run at it. You're too much of a realist to believe that. They had their run (a very good one at that - I thought they'd beat StL) this year.
I don't necessarily think it will be the Tigers - I just don't think the Twins will win. Of the other teams in the Central they would be the team other than the Tigers that I would want to see win it, though.
MySpace will never fade. NEVAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(straightens blouse.)
Much happiness to you in 2007. I agree on a kickass new year, my friend.
Good luck with your resolutions! My weight loss goal is similar to yours . . . we can be healthy eating and exercise buddies! Regarding your preductions, I hope and hope and hope that number 6 is true, but you are SO sadly mistaken on number 1, as this is the year for my Cubs. It is preordained. Destiny, if you will.
My fingers are crossed for #6.
Here's to a wonderful 2007! Good luck with your resolutions. The improv class sounds awesome. I'm way too much of coward to do that myself, but I'll be cheering you on.
Regarding your prediction #4: in 1987, I predicted that Madonna would fade. AND I'M STILL WAITING. So, get in line behind me, son.
kris: What is it about myspace that people love so? I just don't get it, and I've tried.
lisa: Do you have a plan for the weight loss/exercise? I have a rudimentary plan, but I'm also looking for tips. and I gotta admit, it would be pretty cool to see the Cubbies go all the way. Good luck with that.
newt: If I was a prayin' man, I'd pray for it.
kell: Thanks! I suspect I'll need the cheer section.
tog: Ok, at least Madonna DOES something. Sure, she's not actually GOOD at anything, but Paris doesn't sing, dance, OR act. She just exists, and is somehow a celebrity because of it. Revolting.
