Newyears Resolution

[berly]

Well its that time again the new year is once more apon us and its time for the worn out old new years resolution to be bought out dusted off and tried again. Whats yours? to drive a better faster car? find a better job? maybe lose a few pounds? What is this years plan?

I don't make any. I already lecture myself daily about things I need or want to change/improve. How much fun am I?!? =)

[Jennafer]

I would like to quit smoking......But, I don't think I can. I also want to continue weight lifting and tanning so I look like a freak! Ha ha ha ha.....:p

[Redallnite]

I CAN'T FIND MY DOG!!!! Fireworks scared the shit out of her, tail between her legs running as fast as that little body could go......

It's freezing outside!!! She hates the cold!!!! ** My resolution is to make a mental note to beat my family!!!** :shutup: :shutup:

[Villager]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmkay, red.

Resolutions? No. If shit needs doing/changing, I'll do it, not use some superficial event as a motivational basis for doing so.

[minerjoe1963]

i concur villager, if ya sit on your honches and wait, nuthin will ever happen. but i will try to post more now that i`m settled (?) at my new job

[Diva]

Holy crap, Red! That font's bigger than Godzilla! So, ummmm. Did you find the dog?

I don't make resolutions either. Why wait until new Years what I can break any time? That's my motto! :cheesy: :D

[Redallnite]

My goodness that is huge!!! Sorry I was so angry, now i'm just sooo tired and weepy. My babie is somewhere just not home with me.....

I will find her come hell or high water....

[Jake]

Hey Red, I hope you found her. I know the feeling. I think most of us do. I don't do well with resolutions. One year I swore I'd stop cussing. I was drink and said, "I'm gonna stop cussing this year, damn it." That was the end of that.

[usantic]

I never seem to have to adjust the resolution on my monitor so that I will not alter. In my case however..................let me count the ways.
-STOP EATIN' JUNK FUUD
-SPEAK WITH MY PARENTS AND FAMILY MORE OFTEN
-FIND AND CONTRIBUTE TO AN ORGANIZATION THAT WILL AID AFGHANI CHILDREN
-GO OUT OF MY WAY TO HONOUR OUR MILITARY, POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. (These folks lay down their lives for our well being not even knowing who we are.)
-READ THROUGH THE NEW YORK TIMES LISTING OF VICTIMS OF 9/11/01 (posted daily this is one that I've gotten behind on).
-CARPE DIEM

Would you have typed these resolutions say 4 months ago? I seriously doubt it! your gonna break every fucking one. No-one gives a fuck anymore, you're living in denial. Get fucking real here man! Do you seriously think you're going to make a dfference? Fuck it! it do'nt matter. Just go on living the easy life like Joe-Schmoe doing what everyone expects! and maybe! Maybe life will be good.
Do not flame me on this as I can understand your motives but ; They're Afghanistani Children not Afghani

[ozblonde]

Does it matter what he would have typed 4 months ago? Four months ago the whole world was a different place. Four months ago a few mad bloody minded muslims changed every thing for all of us. I really cant see why you choose to attack usantic for having a resolution when you have none of your own.:(

Whilst it may sound cold hearted I fail to see how the events of September the 11th have changed anything for me. People were killed by terrorists. Its not the first nor the last time it will happen and as far as my own personal life goes, the only change was a disrupted TV schedule.

[usantic]

Thanks for making me even more resolute Scranton. Ever heard that song about the ant moving the rubber tree plant? One person may not make much of a difference but an army of them certainly can. I need to do a search on the Prez's request from the children of America and get a total so far. He asked them to send 1$ to a fund for the afghani (afghani) children.
As far as my other resolutions, at least I make the effort and if I can hone in on the regimen, I'll stick with them. :mad: :finger:

[Scranton]

This was not an attack on Usantics post It was an attack on the frivalous way people make resolutions only to break them the next day. Did not daddy Bush tell the Iraqi's to rise against saddam? only to leave them in the shite!
All I'm trying to say here is that people are full of shit with resolutions and that before september 11 no yank would be able to point to Afghanistan on a map! let alone send aid there;) have a fucking smilie too while you're there.

[usantic]

Apparently your circle of associates has little or no determination.
I'm not saying that each person holds to their resolutions but it gives them a target now doesn't it? Your negative attitude on this subject leads me to believe you've never tried to achieve much of anything worthwhile.
Oh, by the way, Afghanistan is located just south of those Tajikistani's,Turkmenistani's and Uzbekistani's

[aussie]

actually it was an open and unprovoked attack on usantic and his post. this is a smilie

*GRINS*

[Amaurote]

I'm going to take up smoking, double my beer intake and waste as much time as possible watching Home and Away, Diagnosis Murder and repeat showings of Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter.

Oh, yes: and I'm also going to stop doing today what could be put off until later next week.

It's going to be difficult, but I think my willpower may just hold out this time.

[usantic]

Beer,,,,,,,,,,,Ah the taste!
I was wondering Amaurote, what brew do you prefer? Ale? Lager? Stout? Porter???? (de ja vu) Have I asked this of you before?

[Amaurote]

Usantic - I don't mind deja vu just so long as I liked the original experience...! I like Theakstons, but John Smiths are more widely available. There isn't really an international language for beer, which is something of a shame - the only internationally recognized alcohol products are the over-rated/ghastly ones, like Guinness (queasy), Fosters (insipid) and Budweiser (mediocre).

What do you like?

[usantic]

I have an affection for ales. My current favourite is NewCastle Honey Brown. I truly enjoy Grolsch. Sam Adams made a good brew till they got too commercial. when I can't find either of them I go to my old stand-by, Bass. My Belgian buddies whetted my appetite for their brews when I was over there. I'm not certain of the name, but there was an ale that was in a white glass bottle (White's?) that was delicious. Then they hammered me one evening as we sat down to dinner accompanied by Duvel. My glass kept filling up and after a bit I kept falling down!!
I'll have to try Theakston's and John Smith's if I have the availability to them.

[Amaurote]

Interesting, Usantic - Grolsch is being heavily promoted over here lately, but I've never actually met anyone who's ever drank it; is Newcastle Honey Brown another name for Newcastle Brown? They brew that locally here, and it's very popular down the Quayside. Bass is okay, but it's a bit latexy, I seem to recall. I might well give Grolsch a go, though: though I doubt I could even pronounce it after three pints, frankly.

In fact, that reminds me of something: there was a true story this week about the Italian ambassador to the UK going into a pub, and looking briskly at the menu. He then proceeded to ask the barmaid for a "quickie"; the barman promptly strode over and told him that "It's pronounced quiche", whereupon the ambassador earnestly desired the ground to open up and swallow him...

[Anton]

I know someone who drank grolsch, they ended up paralytic at a party, getting dragged out by the hosts mother, kicked in the head by the moher and then sent to have their stomach pumped

[ozblonde]

In my area it seems to be all VB and Tooheys new for the beer drinkers. Im a white wine girl my self though I dont like the taste of beer
Whats your poison aussie?

[usantic]

I was awake at 4:30 a.m. and the name of that white bottled Belgian beer came to mind as I pictured its label. Does Brand beer ring a bell for any one?

Amaurote, thats correct. The Newcastle I drink is a UK brew.

I used to pronounce Grolsch pretty much the way it is spelt. When I was in Curacao I would order it at the bar and the tender would laugh. The Dutch keep the g silent and hack up their throat when saying it. I have to remind myself where I am when drinking it.

Anton, I can honestly say that once when I was in Amsterdam,
my friends took me to The Bulldog. We later found out that we
had consumed 15 of the pop top bottles each! Although we weren't comatose, we certainly couldn't walk well and when we did it was a group effort! I vaguely remember holding onto the trunk of a car as it pulled us (skiing?skating?) around a parking lot. (falling,,, definately falling)
