Another Year's End....

  Well, here it is. The end of another year. 

   Whoopie.

   Yes, I know. I'm woefully behind. I don't really have any excuses, other than Life Itself getting in the way. I've started a few notes on things that have been going on that I've wanted to talk about, but then, something else gets in the way, and it gets pushed back. Over and over again. But, looking back at them, I've realized that they were nothing more than things pretty much everyone has heard or seen, so no point in going over them again. I them tried to get 'reflective', but that didn't go anywhere, either. So, delete delete delete. Now, I'm dropping a post to say, I'm not going to go off on topics that seemingly are happening in the news in front of everyone as much anymore, because I don't think people want to hear about those too much. But,that may change. (Oh, who am I kidding? Of course it will!)
    I've been taking notes on things that come across my mind a lot; I just have to put them into some sort of coherent order. Not as easy as you'd think....
    I will, however, wish you all a good New Year's, and hope next will be better....but I kind of doubt it.
    Good thoughts, good prayers, good feelings to one and all.Keep your spirits up, and let's make 2026 better than 2025 was.
    As Red Green would say, "Remember, I'm pullin' for ya; we're all in this together."

New Year, New Stuff......

     Well. Another year is gone, and a new one upon us. Hurrah, and all that. 

  A lot has gone on, and it seems like more 'fun and thrills' are on the way. I haven't posted for a bit (yes, my error), but if I make any resolutions (which, by the way, I don't), it's to spout off more. 

   So, here's to more stuff to throw out here, and hopefully it won't be too annoying.

  But no promises on that....

New Year, Same Me.

    Well, here it is.
   At the writing of this post, it's near the end of January 2024. Around this time, people are either bearing down and following their resolutions, or have pretty much given up on them. You know 'resolutions', right? Those declarations that people make about what they want to do in the New Year? Whether it's "I'm going to the gym more", or "I'm going to start eating healthier!", or " Maybe I'll try not to wish death on that person at work I hate so much. At least a little bit". Whatever it is, it's meant to create a 'New Me!'. It's a promise you make to yourself, but sometimes it's not easy to keep. So, many people just take a "Next year for sure!" attitude when they don't carry it out. Nothing wrong with that. Do what you can, when you can.

   Speaking of resolutions, want to see a list of mine? Well, here you are:

     Yep, I don't have any. That's because I don't do them. Why? Well, because I feel that if you want to do something (especially if it's something to make you healthier), you shouldn't wait to do it. If you decide in, say, May, that you want to eat better, why would you wait? Do it then, not wait 7+ months to start it. Better health shouldn't have to wait. Same with hitting the gym. Yes, I know that sometimes money is the issue, and people would rather wait until after the holidays to start something that costs money (because they need to pay off said holidays). But if you can afford it (or it doesn't cost anything), do it or start it NOW, rather than later. You'll be glad you did.

    As for me, I've never done them. Don't need them. If I want or need to do something, I don't like to wait. Let's be honest. If you need a coat at the beginning of winter, why would you wait to get it at Christmas? Because you have to buy others presents, and you've figured, "Eh. Just get everything at once. That's fine."?
NO. Get your coat FIRST, THEN worry about the other stuff. Don't inconvenience yourself for the sake of others when it comes to things like this. "I don't have the money to do that! I have to wait until I get my extra cash for the holidays!" NO. They can wait. So what if your cousin's-girlfriend's-brother's-nephew doesn't get a PlayGamer 77 (with the built-in Facial Recognition package ONLY AVAILABLE ON OUR PURPLE/GREEN/YELLOW CONSOLE FOR A LIMITED TIME!!!!!) from you. Let someone else be the 'cool relative'. If they don't like it, too damn bad. Don't resolve to "Get a new coat sometime next year. Eventually...". Get it when you need it. Period.

   That being said, if you do them, great. No worries. But, ask yourself, "Do I want to wait, or do I have to wait?". There's the difference. If you have to, then you have to. No judgment. But if you want to, just give it a re-think. You may be glad you did. 

Last post of 2023. More or less...

     Hey, everyone. How's it going? Doing fine? Hope so. Me? Well....not too bad. I'll hit you with a long-ish post after the New Year. Don't want to harsh you out right now.  Goodness knows we've had a right fair amount of that during the last several months. Fighting, lawsuits, deaths (celebrity and others), ups, downs, ins, outs, lefts, rights, forwards, backwards - way too much to discuss here. I can honestly say that we don't need any more interesting things happening next year; although, we'll probably get more of the same. I think we're good on 'surprises' and what-not. Let's have a good, not-so-crazy year in 2024, okay? 

     So, let's be safe, happy, and hopefully better off. As Red Green said:
