As is my tradition, I will make no resolutions about what I’m going to do in the new year, rather, because it just seems to work out better for me, I will resolve not to do the following things:

• I will not get married.
• I will not run for public office (carried-over from 2006)
• I will not, under any circumstances, test any cosmetics, foodstuffs, chemicals, or pharmaceuticals on animals. Plants, however, are open game.
• I will not dance in public. Probably not in private either, though I reserve the right to do so.
• I will not take off my shirt while attending any athletic competition, professional or collegiate, regardless of the temperature.
• I will not drink bleach.
• I will not, in the waning days of December, say to anyone “See you next year!”.
• I will not join the Communist Party, unless they’re giving away toasters or something cool like that, in which case I will join, get my toaster, and then promptly quit. Stupid Communists.
• I will not fake the funk.
• Finally, I will not, under any circumstances, intentionally at least, juggle chainsaws, wrestle alligators, eat glass, jump my motorcycle over a huge tank of water filled with man-eating sharks, or cross against the light.

Prospero año nuevo, y’all.

Two Johnny Cash songs in a row, followed by two CVB songs in a row. I find that odd, but maybe I misunderstand the meaning of the word “Random”. Plus, an appearance by the one and only Fleetwood Mac song I will EVER have on my playlist.

1. Pulling Mussels From A Shell – Squeeze
2. Tusk – Fleetwood Mac
3. One Piece At A Time – Johnny Cash
4. Dark As The Dungeon – Johnny Cash
5. Paid Vacation: Greece – Camper Van Beethoven
6. Skinhead Stomp – Camper Van Beethoven
7. Crazy Lovesick Fool – Brak
8. Rainbow Connection – Me First And The Gimme Gimmes
9. Message To Rudy – The Specials
10. Requiem – Violent Femmes

I reccomend the following story to you not because I’m a Luddite, but because I’m a fan of contrarian, outside-the-box thinking:

School Shuns Tech, Teaches Fountain Pen from PhysOrg.com

(AP) — In this age of cell phones, text messages and computer keyboards, one Scottish school has returned to basics. It’s teaching youngsters the neglected art of writing with a fountain pen.
