It's a New Year...so let's try again

ok. really. i swear. even though i've probably said it 300 times over the course of this blog, i'm determined to write more this year...i think i'm going to drop some of the gimmicks - it won't just be political rantings, it won't be just about wrestling, and for the majority of the life of this blog, EVERY SINGLE entry title was the name of a song. Yep, check it out. really. maybe i'll get back on that gimmick in a bit, because i did kinda like it, but for the most part, i'm determined to write more in '06.

i also need to fix some of the graphical elements as well. they appear to be out of whack.

various things i've got on my plate/agenda. these aren't resolutions, per se, but rather things that have wrapped up 2005 in grand style for me, and things i'm going to try and accomplish in 2006.

recent happenings - i got engaged about a week and a half ago. that's a good thing. i'm really excited.

and yesterday, we ended up getting a new puppy. as some of you know, we lost our dear Omega about 8 months ago. we decided we needed another furry critter in our life (we do have a rockin' bird named Kiwi), so we went to the North Shore Animal League to find a kitten. Well, we didn't find a kitten, but we did find a big ol' 4-month old ball of fluff we named Marley. He's got some Black Lab in him, and we're pretty sure there's some Chow in there as well. he's going to be a gigantic dog.

I'll talk more about how we came to be this wonderful puppy's parents, as well as post some pics, in a future entry.

on to 2006 - things i want to do, in no order, and definitely not resolutions:

write more - not just here, but some other places as well. i'm almost certainly going to start writing for a pro wrestling website. i'm also slowly getting things in place to start my own site, although i don't forsee it actually getting up and running until late 2006 at the earliest. we'll see.

move all my old wrestling VHS onto DVD - pretty much self explanatory.

get married. and have babies too. :o) well, not me personally, but you know what i mean.

spend less time on the computer - when i'm sitting here, just staring at the monitor and waiting for every new post on a message board, i'm really just wasting time. there have got to be better ways to waste time.

win the lottery - another one needing no explanation.

really get serious about the home-buying thing. i'm sick of renting. even if we can't afford a house yet, maybe a condo or co-op to tide us over.

figure out what to do with all my stuff. i've got a LOT. and i've got NO room. blah.

i'm sure i'll come up with more. but now, i must go get some coffee, and put together mr. Marley's crate, so he'll have his very own puppy den! :o)

peace, and happy new year...
