For a few years now, I've been telling people that I know that I don't do New Years Resolutions. It just seems like a waste of time and energy to me. Walk w/me for a bit.

It's December 26th, you've finally decided on a New Years Resolution, you plot and plan and scheme and come up w/an excellent way to achieve your goal. You tell everyone that you know and they tell you theirs. New Years arrives and you're STOKED!!! You're ready! You're a barbarian @ the gate and you're ready to storm the freakin' castle! And, for the first week, you do; you may even go the entire month! But, by the time Valentine's day rolls around, your old habit has grabbed you by the throat, thrown you against the wall and (@#%^&^*%%%*&&&!!!) your New Years Resolution...well! And, by that time, you're glad 'cause you were miserable; trying to force yourself to change when you aren't ready has NEVER worked! Ever! And this happens every year. Year in and year out, time after time, and every December 26th or so, you do the exact same thing.

And this year, I thought I could buck the system and set a resolution that works!

Ha! All I wanted to do is shut my mouth and learn something for a change. I really hate the way that I speak out of turn and cut people off when they're trying to make a point. I thought that this year, I could do it! I could make a change and maybe even make another! Again I say...

Ha!

So, here I sit, not even 7 days into the new year and I can't shut my mouth for trying.

They have things you can take for diarrhea, but what do you take for acute logorrhea???

Practice! Patience! Persistence!

Then, perfection! Yeah.

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
