To my awesome friends, I'm leaving town today for New Years, and won't be able to post for a few days. So, I offer this, just a couple of days early: As the sun rose over the horizon on a beautiful January 1, 2012, a young man entered a towering skyrise. He looked far too young, and far, far too mischievous to have a desk here, but plopped into a cubicle, and tossed his feet onto the desk. The light on his phone was blinking, and he picked up to listen to this message: "Dear Murphy. As CEO of the Corporation of People who Need to get Stuff Done This Year, it has been my task to examine numerous complaints regarding your conduct. After due consideration of the offenses on record, I regret to tell you that I have decided to let you go. Please kindly take your law, and GTFO. Sincerely, Julia." Seemingly unfazed by this message...Murphy only snickered. 2012...was certain to be interesting. Haha! Here's hoping you have an awesome year! Voted!
It's Friday and we are getting close to the 2012, so I say this: Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. Vote is in!
It's the end of 2011, and I'm going to share with all of you an exercise I've been doing for years. At the end of each year, I look back on the last twelve months. What went right, what went wrong, what unexpected things arose? What goals did I reach, what do I still need to work on? And, what are my 2012 goals? This is a sampling of my assessment: Good: found employment as a psychic, found a new friend in my kitten, secured a position as sempai in my martial arts course. Bad: my family is still convinced I'm a satan-possessed schizophrenic. My car is finally dead...and now needs to be replaced. Great: I took huge leaps forward in my health and happiness. I learned to laugh at myself. I'm happier now than I've ever been. Unexpected: I ended up on a social networking site, and found a level of love and acceptance I didn't think the internet was capable of, and made amazing friends! (Sincerest thanks, to you all!) Needs work next year: More focused energies toward my performing arts dreams. And, I still need to focus on making close friends face to face. Realistic goals: test for nidan in martial arts. Get my psychic business booming. Make one appearance on television. Crazy goals: pull off a spot on BB on my first application. Get my parents to read one single book on psychic arts and spirit communication...at least get them to stop pleading with the local bishop for an exorcism! What I'm most grateful for: my drastically improved happiness, and my amazing new friends. For all of you, I wish a happy 2012, and all your dreams fulfilled. Voted!
A Thursday suggestion for a New Years Party: If you want an interesting party sometime, combine cocktails and a fresh box of crayons for everyone! Your vote is in!
My cat has stolen my chair from me again. He waits for me to warm it up and when I leave for a minute to get something, he takes over. So I'm here on the hard wooden piano stool voting.
