Happy Fucking New Year!!!

So it’s January 2, 2006. I opted to not make a post on the first. I didn’t want to remember the year I was saying goodbye to. Goodbye to 2,187 dead American soldiers in Iraq, goodbye to Katrina and Rita, goodbye to Terri and Jennifer, goodbye to my duplex at 819 Knox Avenue, the one that burned to the ground. Goodbye to Bush spying and Bush lying, goodbye to Johnny Carson and Richard Pryor, goodbye (and good riddance) to the Pope, goodbye to Tookie Williams, goodbye to Mikhail Brown, goodbye to my job here at HCA (soon…very soon). Goodbye to the Christmas war, goodbye to TennCare and Dickerson Road. Goodbye to Rosa Parks, goodbye to Seventh Heaven – thank the gods!! Goodbye to my beloved Underdog.

I look to 2006 to be a better year. Hopefully. I’ve been living in my new house for six months now. My boyfriend and I are getting along well, and I love my roommate. I have my Jack Russell terrier Krypto, there’s a Superman movie coming out, and there are about 800 billion men I haven’t fucked yet, so the horizon looks good.

I don’t really believe in New Year’s resolutions, but here are my goals for the year:

Stop working for the corporate empire!!! Quit my job at HCA, the world’s largest for-profit hospital. Get a new job at a non-corporate business.
Stop buying anything retail. I am so sick of being advertised to, and I am sick of getting ripped off for everything I buy. $1.25 for generic bleach!!! Yes people that’s right – a dollar-fucking-twenty-five for household bleach.
Continue to not be intimidated by people who insist that I can’t do anything without a cell phone or car. Wake up, America, if we give them the power they will take the power – it is the nature of the beast.
Stop drinking soda. America is poisoning it’s citizens!! Tonight at 10…
Publish my first book.


Lofty goals, I know, but I’m dedicated.
