THE END OF THE YEAR RANT...OR..FOK IT, YOU DEAL WITH IT.

Comedian, Lewis Black says, "We should just plan for things...you know how you get all excited in planning for an event. You plan for the party, all the guests, the the balloons, the food, the dancing. Everything. Then the day comes and it's not as big a thing as you thought...in other words, the party sucked. But the planning was fun. So let's just plan..and when the day comes, forget it."

Not a bad idea, eh? We plan for everything and then when the time comes, we just do whatever it is we were going to do and screw the party. Hey, we had fun planning, didn't we?

OK..So It's just me. But let's think about this, This year is coming to an end, and we are starting a new one, how? BY DROPPING THE BALL.
Pardon me, but Dropping the ball. Isn't that a euphemism for screwing up.
See, we plan for a Happy New Year, and we screwed the pooch to begin with. Who's freaking idea was this. Really!
You make all these "resolutions" to do all the things you're not going to do, you know you're not, but you do em anyway...WHY? Because other people are doing em..again, WHY?
BECAUSE THEY DROPPED THE BALL...LAST YEAR. Last year, they fucked up, so you have to atone for it this year, by making all these stupid resolutions to make yourself feel better for dropping the ball on all the goofy things you promised yourself last year..
Ya know what, if no one can handle that you didn't reach or complete that personal goal that was set...Fok em, let em deal with it...You planned to do it..you just didn't get around to do it, because life got in the way..it ALWAYS gets in the way..sometimes, you actually do achieve those personal goals, no matter how little of mediocre they are, but you do...and sometimes you don't...but it's nobody's business but yours.

So have fun planning doing what you're going to do....and when the day comes and its not what you expected...hey, ya had fun planning it...and that's all that matters, you had fun.

Fok it, let em deal with the rest.

OK, I would be remiss if I didn't say anything about this.
We lost a President this week...Gerald Ford, 1913-2006 The 38Th President of the United States. I'm a bit saddened by this as I am a child of the 70's remember vividly the turmoil of the Watergate scandal and how then Vice-President Ford had stepped up to take office of the President, as stipulated in the 25 amendment. By far, he was the only Republican that I liked, I think because he truly believed that he could do good. He put aside politics to try and heal a nation scared by internal political strife. Plus he did a spot on the Simpson's..now that was cool.

Gerald R.Ford...He Really believed in the office of the Presidency.
