A little bit about anything
Return from Hiatus
Well, after 7 months off from writing on my blog, I decided it was time to get back to posting. I have had several things to say in the last few months but didn’t really have the gumption to write. I don’t know why but it was one of those things I think all those who enjoy writing go through (except for MasterMaq of course). The beginning of a new year seemed like the right time to start it back up.
Having said that, if you want to take a look at my prior years posts you can go to my archives (listed in the right hand column) or you can start fresh with me this year.
So I would like to start this year off wishing everyone a happy, safe and prosperous 2010. I would like to share a couple of my favorite new years quotes with you to get you going:
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. ~Bill Vaughan
So are you an optimist or a pessimist? I am always an optimist.
New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. ~Mark Twain
What resolutions did you make and is this the first year you have made them? If you have made them before then why did you fail the last time? I am curious as to why people fail at their resolutions.

Perhaps a small addition to Mr. Vaughan’s quote?
“And a realist goes to bed at nine o’clock.”
I guess that would make a realist.

Len, I love that addition. I will have to consider it the next time I use the original quote.

Welcome back from your hiatus! I haven’t made any resolutions, nor do I usually, but I did consider de-resolutioning (if you see what I mean) to start drinking alcohol. I haven’t bothered with that though.

Chris, isn’t de-resolutioning what everyone does 1-2 weeks after they make their resolutions anyway?
