A resolution to ignore the petty annoyances
It's the New Year, and that means resolutions. I'm ready (a survivor of many well-intended and long-forgotten resolves).
With clean slate in hand, I promise to dump the Bah Humbug attitude of looking at things. Forgive and forget is the way to go. No longer will these petty annoyances irritate me:
* Loud, obnoxious and silly advertising (TV and newspaper). Buy one, get one free. $4.99, not $5. Cars on mountain peaks and in the middle of rivers. Head On! (Repeat five times and end with Head On!)
* Bad drivers, it's OK. Pass me full speed ahead, cell phone in hand, no turn signal.
* Technological advances. HD, DVD, LED, MP3, blue teeth, Ipod, digital this and that. No on/off button.
* Extreme politics: Washington, Raleigh, Greensboro, everywhere.
Suggestion: Work together for the common good. Leave religion out of it and check the dictionary for Integrity and Principle.
Hey, I'm feeling better about 2008. Bring it on!

My resolution is to ignore people who complain about cell phones and turn signals.
