That's it.

I'm bored.

It's New Years Eve, a night I've never particularly liked for it's enforced sense of....celebratory renewal. What makes tonight so special? What special magic should there be in rolling from one artificial, man measured year to another?

People - it just means we are ageing.

I've had dinner, I've done my weights...I'm about to go to the monumental task of removing my toe nail polish. I've only one book to read (that I want to read, I should mention, "Rhett Butler's People" seemed like a good idea but sits, still virgin, on my shelf), and I'm milking that because after that book...nada. This is the Year of Eliza's Fiscal Austerity, in preparation for any bad thing to come workwise. It will be simply dreadful. I even had my finger on the "purchase" button for two dresses I've been eyeing for awhile and I made myself close the browser window?!! Isn't everyone proud?

So let's see...politics: none of the candidates excite me. I like varied things about all of them, but no one really rings my bell. Politicians these days, of either party, seem to lack honesty and integrity. The debates are particularly worthless - nothing more than an air filled verbal joust between a handful of people who may or may not be idiots (one can't tell, these things simply aren't impromptu enough to catch people off guard or generate any spontaneity (?sp?)...in fact, I almost wrote degenerate instead of generate....). And people don't say what they really stand for.

So I will:

1. Don't spend what you don't have.

2. Don't invade other countries unless their ass attacks you first.

3. Keep your nose out of my bedroom, and out of my reproductive organs.

4. Do something about the value of the dollar, would you? It sucks having our currency at what surely is an all time low. The loonie is worth more than the dollar. Hello????

5. Please keep your personal religious beliefs just that - personal. I vote for a CEO, not a preacher (which I've said before).

6. Completely rid the nation of AMT.

I'm sure I'll think of more. The great thing about this nation is that everyone here has the right to think whatever they wish, and to vote however they wish, without fear of repercussions.
