2010 Resolutions by Andy Rooney
Just heard this one. Link to the video of Andy Rooney
speaking it is below the text.
CBS) The idea of the year 2010 doesn't do much to me. It
seems like a nice, even round number. But those of us who
hate New Year's Eve and the necessity it brings with it to
have fun are looking forward to New Year's Day, when New
Years Eve will finally be over.
For years I've been fighting a losing battle to make Sept. 1
New Years Day, but no one will listen to me on that. If we
had changed the date on which the new year starts, August 31
would be the most sensible New Year's Eve. And we wouldn't
be faced with this unpleasantness this Thursday night.
I always go to a very nice party but I don't even like nice
parties on New Year's Eve. I just want to be alone that
night feeling miserable about all the things I didn't get
done in the year past and all the hard jobs I have ahead of
me in the next year.
Every year I try to jot down some resolutions. I have some
more this year.
I'm not going to stop eating coffee ice cream four times a
week. I always have and always will.
I'm not going to start smoking cigarettes this year. This is
the best kind of resolution for me. I've never smoked
cigarettes and I have no intention of starting. Coughing….
I'm not going to exercise. I joined the YMCA several years
ago so I belong but I don't go there and exercise, I just
belong.
For the first time I resolve not to try to get ahead with
anything. I never have gotten ahead and I see no reason to
change now.
So happy New Year, almost everyone. If you drink New Year's
eve, don't drive and if you drive and drink, don't do it
near me!

How very very sad.......
A message is going around the Internet that Pres. Obama ordered the USPS to create a stamp honoring the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. IT IS TOTALLY & COMPLETELY FALSE. The stamp exists. It was first issued 8 yrs. ago during the Bush admin. It is part of a series created to recognize holidays celebrated by ethnic groups in the USA. It has been reissued 5 times since it's creation in '01. Check it out @ Snopes.com.
