New Years Resolutions
New years resolutions are garbage. No one ever mets them, and really we set ourselves us for failure most of the time. I have life goals that I would like to achieve but nothing that I would place a time restraint on really. The only one exception came a year ago when my cousin Josh wrote in his blog that he and his friends had challenged eachother to count the number of books they read that year. I took on the challenge. I am not a reader. Nor would the books I read compare the the "Hemmingway" type of books Josh reads. You probably guessed from all my blogging I am a horrible speller. That is thanks to my Grade 7 year of education when the school decided to cancel all grammer lessons. Seriously no joke, we had none. The following year they realized what a mistake they made and fixed the problem but this is beside the point. I have not been a reader most of my life. My goal this last year was 12 books. I surpassed it and read 20!! Yeah for me!! With two kids, work, home life, friends and all, I am pretty proud of myself. My goal this year is 24. I actually enjoy reading now.

I'm the worst reader. Ever. I read a lot on the web, but Lisa-Joy says that doesn't count. I'm like, "It's Wikipedia, though, that's gotta count for something!?!" Still, no dice.
John's 2006 book count:
- most of "The Ecology of Commerce". And it's only, like, 250 pages.
That's it. Isn't that awful? I'm almost ashamed to hit the 'Publish' button.
John do not feel bad I started a few books but did not finish. One stared out good but I think the book gave me narkalepcy, I could not survive 10 min. without falling asleep. I got a good book by Rob Bell called Velvet Elvis. I will now try to beat last years book count.

The book gave you narcolepsy! That's hilarious. In bed each night I read a page of my Wired mag and by the end need toothpicks to pry my eye-lids open. No joke.
Wired gave me narcolepsy!
