The 12 Thoughts of New Year

1. It probably would've made more sense to write The Twelve Thoughts of Xmas, but I wanted a fresh start to 2007.
2. I really, REALLY should get more involved in the family business. It's been almost 2 years since my return, but my lack of added knowledge in the daily operations is exceeding embarrassing levels. Apologies to Ma.
   
3. Just watched the uncensored Saddam Hussein execution video. Now I'm only 50% sure they didn't fake his death.
   
4. Made new friends, lost some others (no, they're still alive). To the former: I've glad to know you, and thank you for making me smile. To the latter: your almost-schizophrenic tendencies, lack of trust and passive dickishness bewilders me, all the more so since you won't talk about why. I won't wish you ill-will, but hope you stay alone.
5. Why is my metabolism such that I can get fatter but not heavier? Why not the other way around?
6. Bitey sent me a Xmas greeting via email. Considering the current status of our relationship, either this means I'm in some group mailing list, or it's evidence of this person's f*#ked up sensa humor.
7. Warren Ellis once wrote: It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way. Granted, though Ellis comics characters fight monsters, doppelgangers, alien creatures the size of the moon and use teleportation as a viable method of transportation, I'd like to think the universe I live in has it's fair share of strange things to see, albeit in a tamer fashion. I hope to start a new blog entitled Weird Sight of the Day. Hopefully to be accompanied by photos/sketches
8. Photoshop skills further improving. Yay. Not getting paid for it. Boo.
   
9. Things I want this year: Choco-flavored whey protein, new set of earphones, new home gym equipment, DVD sets of Arrested Development, seasons 1-5 of Futurama and seasons 5-9 of The Simpsons, hair, love, and world peace. In that order.
10. We did the Xmas and New Year's Eve dinners, w/ a bigger spread on the latter since it's also my sis-in-law's b-day. Almost suffered from chocolate overload, as opposed to past olfactory sense overload from inhaling too much gunpowder smoke from the firecrackers.
11. Ugh, in six months I'll be an over 30-year-old man living "alone w/ his parents."
12. Well, at least I'll have the room all to myself again.
