It's that time of year again...time for the New Year to begin, and time for the dreaded New Year's Resolution. This is something that I have avoided all my life. I have NEVER made a New Year's Resolution. I have held my level of self-discipline in such high regard that I never needed a N.Y.R...Until now. It has become alarmingly clear that if I don't maker a serious conscience effort to take care of myself better, I will not be around long enough to see my twin children enjoy their lives.

I try to avoid all the unhealthy stuff. I don't smoke, I rarely drink (an occational beer or two a month), I don't use drugs (not even prescriptions)...but my monster is food!! I spent 13 years of my childhood not only as a soccer player, but a wrestler as well. I can remember going 2-3 weeks on ice cubes and vitamins...and that's it. Now since I don't have to worry about weighing in anymore, I have BALLOONED!! I graduated High School at 127 lbs. My college soccer playing weight was 135. I am now almost 240 lbs., and really not liking myself.

I have resolved to lose 50lbs!! I know I'll never reach that 135 time again, but I think anything under 200 would be fine. Enough that I could start running and training again without too much difficulty.

There it is, my first N.Y.R. of my life. Time to shed this massive gut and get back to feeling healthy again. By the way, if you see my old friend Lasagna anywhere...tell her I miss her!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!!! I hope everyone is safe and sound this Holiday Season. Christmas Wishes go out to all our Men and Women serving our country in foriegn lands. may you all return safely to your loved ones back home..Oh yaeh, one more thing to my cousin in Dunkirk, NY...


STEELERS - 41 Cleveland Clowns - 0...Let there be NO DOUBT who rules the rivalry!! That was an ASS KICKING of major porportions!!!

I know it's been a while. Life has been pretty busy lately with the Holiday crap I have to do. My twins also had their 1st Birthday party, so that was cool. I was sitting watching the ONLY resource for fair and balanced news, FoxNews, and some things have really started to get my blood boiling...so here we go!!

Will everyone PLEASE stop talking about this worthless waste of space in California that was finally kicked off the planet permenantly. This loser killed innocent people in cold blood, but just because he wrote a few books and said he was sorry, we shouldn't make him face his maker?? Sorry, but I feel he should have been taken out in the back parking lot right after sentencing and been shot right between the eyes.

Next...leave FEMA alone!! If you really want to know who is causing all the problems in New Orleans, look at it's citizens, especially the ones living off the Government's dime. I bet you folks never heard that 400 welfare reciepients in New Orleans were offered full-time jobs at $10/hour with benefits...and only one showed up that day for work. The one that did show, by the way, quit after 2 hours. What reason do these folks have that qualifies them to recieve money from my tax dollars to support them? I pick up the Sunday paper here in Pittsburgh, turn to the classified section where they list general help jobs, and I can count 4 PAGES worth of jobs!!! Get your fat, lazy asses off of the couch and earn your keep.

Number three, CLOSE THE BORDERS!!! How can we take care of ourselves when every hour there are illegal aliens crossing into this country by the truckloads? Here's a plan, take every dime going to the lazy bastards on welfare and build a 30 foot fence with 20,000 volts running through it all along both borders. That'll keep those cockroaches from crossing the river.

Next, if you don't want to be taken hostage by terrorists in Iraq, keep your tree-hugging ass home!! I'm supposed to feel bad for the peacenics that went to Iraq, and now they may be beheaded..not a chance!!

Fianlly, It's CHRISTMAS!!! It has always been Christmas, it will always be Christmas!!! Take your Ramahanakwanzmas, and shove it right up your stinking liberal ASS!! If the thought of a Christmas Tree offends you, don't look at it, don't buy one, don't acknowledge it. You folks have NO right to make everyone else change their ways just because it may offend your fragile existence. Too friggin bad!! I'm offended by the fact that the ATM has to ask me, in my own country, whether or not I want English or Spanish, but you don't see me taking an ax to all the ATM's because I'm offended...at least not yet...we'll see.
