Pointless Life Ambition No. 55

OK, I'm just going to make one resolution. I resolve not to get drunk and maudlin and invite Winona Ryder over on New Years Eve. Ms jonboywalton doesn't appreciate it and I end up staying in a hotel room for three days.

On my own.

Pointless Life Ambition No. 54

To make it through to New Years day without making any resolutions I may come to regret.

Like last year's resolution to not kick in the shins people who ask me for money* that aren't collecting for a worthwhile cause (e.g. Red Cross, Amnesty International, AIDS/breast cancer/MS/Parkinsons research).

* I made it all the way into the first week of February, then this guy asks me for $500.00 to get his car out of the Police Impound Yard. Sheesh. Gee, Dad, you're on your own with this one. And... er, sorry about the bruised shins.

Alright then. How about...

To buy myself a saxaphone, learn to play just what I feel, drink bourbon whiskey through the night and die behind the wheel.*

* Although I'd just like to say that I wouldn't want to be remembered as a Steely Dan afficionado any more than I would a Hall and Oates apologist.

I was going to say, "To find a new job", but it seems I've done that already. Opps.

Pointless Life Ambition No. 52

To be remembered as the man who brought the hope of a more fulfilling and rewarding life to hundreds of gullible millionaires.

Pointless Life Ambition No. 51

To build a better mousetrap (just as soon as I work out how to stop the flamethrower for misfiring).
