We All Need To Be More Humane Towards Each Other

Do people make New Year wishes instead of resolutions?

Well, this year I am making one.

For the sake of the harmony, respect, and love for family, friends and the people surrounding each and everyone regardless of purpose.

I wish and from the bottom of my heart hope that we all, each and everyone of us, will learn to be more tolerant of the people we fail to understand, will learn to accept and forgive the people who annoy us, will learn to desist discrimination towards the religion of others, will feel the courage to see with unclouded eyes the situation for what it truly is and without blame, will feel the beauty of volunteering and participating without expectation, and finally, to take needful actions where it is long due for the sake of love, harmony and respect instead of endless complaints.

This has gone far enough and for much too long.

Actions have been taken over and over again.

Fail or succeed, it's time for yours.

Don't keep waiting for other people to change what you can too.

Just stop letting ourselves become monsters.

I know what I want.

What I really, really want.

Birthdays are just one of the few events each year that I look forward to and even though I don't throw parties to celebrate this special occasion, nevertheless the things that make it special are the people you spend it with.

Your family.

Your amigos.

What is probably essential but secondary are the presents; the icing on the frosted chocolate cake. My birthday is in 15 days and the questions of what do I want for my birthday have already come. The answer, as always, is quite simple really; anything I can use for or with my laptop/iPods will be, and always is, greatly appreciated. But...

That's not what I want this year.

What I so desire is a mixture of the two-the one person's presence on that day would truly be the best gift I could ever have. It's crazy how we've spent so many birthdays apart. Nonetheless, as much as I wish this would indeed happen, at the very same time in my heart I know that it really is quite the most impossible thing. That being said...

All I want for my birthday

is you.

Noooo!!

Now Playing : "The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore" - James Morrison

Ahh...it sucks.

I've dunnit again.

I broke my diet--24 hours after commencing on a new one. (Stupid Snyder's Cheddar Cheese Pieces...)

Bah, Humbug.

So I've just decided--well, actually I made the decision months ago but taking action requires a whole new level of effort--to go on another diet. Again. I'm making a conscious effort to diet because I've been acting like a pig and whoring all the food in sight and my clothes barely fit me anymore. Plus, being fat doesn't make me feel very pretty. >_<

Unfortunately, this conscious effort to diet is thwarted by my conscious non-effort of giving in and becoming the food whore I am. Ish ish! How nice it would be if I could channel my stone-headedness of not hitting the gym to not opening the fridge.

I'm sorry, but I. Absolutely. Love. Food.

It's truly one of the best ways the enjoy life! I seriously believe that! But why do they gotta make them so transfatty?? And all the pretty colors! And the smells! Don't get me started on them aromas!

Still, being the food whore than I am, I must really (don't laugh, you) shed the excess meat better suited to a whale. I feel the health levels plummeting as the scales go in the opposite direction. Really-not-good. The main reason is though, that Irene's wedding made me realize that there is no effing way I'm going to attend my own wedding looking like John Candy--whom I know is male but that's a whole different issue.

And anyway, I'm tired of being a land whale for my entire life! (Inspirational background music cue) Onwards diet!!

....tomorrow.
