with some parts of the globe already celebrating 07 and those in new york already seeing the ball drop hours ago . and as always with a new year people make resolutions some. is to lose weight or try to improve their personality flaws or to hook up with long forgteen associate. stuff like that even though most who make them wind up breaking them. so in honor of 07 here are my resolutions. 1 to gain a few pounds  no its not a typo for  belive it or not there are some people who need to gain weight not lose it. and i happend to be one. second resolution to slow down and not always be on the go. for bad habbit is i am like the energizer bunny don't know when to slow down. another one is to finaly finish getting certain shows on dvd complete the series like south park and the granfather of animie gatchemen for only eight volumes left to get. and also to finaly get a copy of maltese falcone for avoided it due to being too picky over the quility of the version. also to find out who owns the right to daria and bug them to finaly put that gem on dvd for after all bevis and butt head and aeon flux have hit dvd and they were on mtv the same time as daria. but no darie yet time to happend.  and to stop swearing so much . for after all i don't smoke and i don't drink much. well so to avoid a little argument with abomb. i seldom smoke cigars anymore and drink on a rare occassion. like new years. but otherwise  my resolutions some i will hopefully manage to keep others we will see. for after all a lepoard doesn't change its spots.

proving once and for all if one looks hard enough or is really creative they can sell and buy anything on ebay as a colorado woman is proving. a a woman named mary walker has found a new creative way for dealing with the back to back blizzards that have hit colorado and maybe make some cash for a snow blower. by selling the snow from blizzards one and two on ebay and so far she has had gotten a few bids for ninety nine cents. yep someone is bidding for the snow of the blizzards. but the catch is mary has stated the winning bidder if there is one has to drive to marys and her husbands house and pick up the snow preferably in a dump truck since she is offering a whole big pile of it. like a mountain from all the plowing. which mary figures given how much snow the storms have dropped most would be happy to have a way to get rid of it since they are running out of room to put it. besides mary says the auction was as a way to take her mind of the blizzard and get some laughs. surprised ebay has shut the thing down. for after all why would any one buy snow since its winter if they want some they could go oustide to their yards unless the person is in arizona or some climate that never gets snow. and are bidding on it to see what it looks like. not to mention how mary will become the talk of her town if someone does win and actully shows up on her doorstep with a dump truck to collect the snow. but this goes to prove if you look hard enough you can find and bid on anything on ebay. except dead bodies and stuff ebay says isn't acceptable. but snow. and given its winter that stuff proably will last and not melt so the bidder winds up eventauly with water.

with o6 headed out  most are wondeirng what will 07 be like will it contiue the trend of what is someone smoking or be normal. for 06 will go down as the year of mother nature being pissed off enough to bring humans to their knees from the tsumi in asia to hurricane katrina leaving total devsitation and billions of dammage that goes higher due to goverment fraud. to iraq ending it by exicuting sadam. to legends like don knots and aaron spelling and shelly winters leaving their mortal coil and how can forget a stingray accdiently ending the crocdiles hutners steve irwins work  to james brown silencent and former president gerald ford now headed to the white house in the sky. and lets not forgot o6 brought high gas prices at the pump kenneth lay winding up getting away with his behavior as dieing of a heart attack cleared his record.  to google and you tube merging and disney and pixar also. to you tube star lonely girl 17 turning out to be an actress. to bush saying he can do what he pleases when the u.s supreme court told him military tribuls violate internatial law and he gets the law change. to voters giving the democrats power of the senate and house sending a message to bush and republicans had enough time for a change. and south dakota being in the spotlight this year from voters voting down the most restrictive abortion bann in the union. to senator tim johnson requiring brain  surgery. and lets not forget the crazinest of hollywood. from tom cruise jumping on couches over his love for katie holmes then marrying and having a baby with her. to angelia and brad pitt becoming a couple and having their baby in nambia. to madona causing uproar over trying to adopt a boy. to michel jackson leaving the country  and selling neverland . to all the hollywood break ups ryan and renei. paul and heather. and the big ones whitney huston telling bobby she has had enough its over. and brittney seeing the light after having her parnenting skills questioned dropping kfed like his album sales. even offering him three times what he is entitled in the prenup to drop the custody suit. and of course the feud of donald trump and rosey which is now headed into 07. at least 06 is leaving as being the year of history. and crazyness

contiuing the look back at the commercials of 06 both creepy and good though mostly creepy. though the visa card one with mr. scrooge is cool. a nice take on dickens. and of course the cell phone ones like the competion with those groups of phones trying to commpet with chad and my service and how that one dude attacks the elf trying to reclaim his phone. and of course the ones for verizon like when the one stocker has to pick up and stock the network and then asks them to just walk in the store. now we get to the burger king commericals which has got to be the most creepiest commericals ever for one thing the burger king king looks like he is wanting more then to give whoppers to people like in the serial killer way. secondly  the people waking up finding him in their beds or in their house next to them is why the commercials are in the creepy catagory for the last thing the people want after seeing the burger king king poping out of nowhere is to except the whooper they want to call the cops and get the guy arrested. same with the creepy dancing six flags guy. another rare good commerical the ones for carreer builder .com  where that poor guy is working for monkeys who show they can't run a business. and he goes i have to get a better job. also can't forget the i am mac im a pc commericals where the two actors argue which is better macs upping pc. everytime. another creepy one the commcrials for jeta no one if they got hit like those in the jeta commericals would be standing going oh shit. not a scratch on them. as for the most creepiest commerical ever 06 gave us. the commercial for head on . the one reason the product did good in sales is that people were buying it due to the pain from the commerical and the woman repeaing head ongently apply to forehead head on gently apply to forehead head on gently apply to forehead and right after some proably were fantising of ways to track down and hurt the genisues who came up with that add and of course the voice saying head on head. hopefully 07 will bring some commercials that won't be as creepy or like head on. definelty not like head on for another year of head on apply to forehead and some poor ad ex will proably need to flee the country .

one thing that o7 will be bringing with it a whole new batch of commercials for new products and drugs that will still make it safer to not take them due to the side effects. so with 06 just about ending. a little look back at some of the talk about commercials the good ones the few that were and of course the creepy and the ones that made people want to scream and hunt down the execs who thought them up and ask them what are they on. starting with the gekio commercials one was good with the geiko talking and explaining about how people can call geico but then they switched to the cavemen having a fit about the phrase its so easy even a cavemen can do it. for one cavemen would have no need for car insurance and the first creepy one the celebs speaking for some of the customers the one with bert bacarack looking like he had  a stroke and haven't they figured out that people can't understand charo so no deal. also who in their minds would have breakfast with little richard. another creepy ad is the cureent ones for pepto for one no one suffering from diearaha would feel like dancing and secondly the last one . someone should be more worried about those giant creatures taking a dump on their house then getting them a giant bottle of pepto espically that giant amazon woman . also that petco commerical where the little dog has to be scanend with his new chew toy since he likes it so much he won't let go. and for the creepy side. digger the damanphite for it proably sent people running freaking to get rid of it and of course the talking mucas in the musnex commericla that gets sucked in a wind tunnel talk about gross to the max. though fun to watch the wind tunnel from the medicine sucking it up. seems there were more creepy commericals then good ones. so far.

one person who can now look forward to 07 without grief is apple computer  chief steve jobs as he and his managemtn were cleared of any misconduct in the scandal involving stock options grants that were given to steve and turned out to be backdated and some of the board weren't notified about the dating till after the stocks were given to steve  thus apple had to reinstate pass earnings  becuase of the invesitgationa nd the dating of the stock option grants and the probe was filed with the sec stating steve was aware of or even recomended some of the back dating on the options and grants but turns out didn't profit finically from them at all.  so steve can look to 07 in the clear and without having to face the wrath of the sec for any wrong doing or the justice department for almost having apple wind up commiting a little stock fraund by backdating his options which the board once they found out didn't okay them and steve didn't accept and also the family of the twins  who wound up getting kidnapped by their biological mother now can look to the new year reunited with the parents that decided to adopt them for the mother has now been arrested  in canada and the 17 month year old twins are safe so denis eand kevin needlemen can now bring in the new year reunited with their twins. who are there completly since the mother faces parental kidnapping charges  and taking them across state lines which no doubt will mean having her parental rights terminated now. as 07 is on its way.

now sadam is just a a peace of history as he was exicuted . for at ten iraqi time they took sadam to the gallows and it was over for the iraqi people finaly ended the chapter of their country that had sadam ruling them by finaly booking his ticket to hell. for moments after sadam was declared dead after being found guilty of crimes against humanity . some of the iraqi people started cheering and dancing in the street. and even gunfire over him being dead. though sadams exicution won't stop the insurgency for it will just inflame it since some members looked to sadam as a religous figure. so now iraq ends one chapter of their history and can now move on to work on stabiling their country and look to a future where iraqies will never know someday what it is like to be under the rule of a dictator like sadam for he is now dead. and given the celebrations the people are happy to be rid of that monster and hitler want to be. not to mention the u.s is finaly glad to be rid of a guy who vexed three presidents. plus sadams time was up after a judge refused to grant a last minute stay and the iraqi goverment stated he got a fair trial for under the law once a death sentence is given an exicution is carried out within thirty days. and the exicution word has it was taped and may be broadcast. but now the year is coming to a close with iraq finaly after years under the rule of a man who didn't hesitate to kill his own people.  are free for sadam is dead and iraq will never have to live under his rule for sadam is now a chapter in history and the new year is beginging with the death of a monster. too bad it doesn't put the fear of god into other dictactors like kin jun il and osama that they could wind up the next  monsters to get their ticket to hades booked but at least sadam is gone and iraq can start working to a bright future. without him for the new year.

not only will george lucas fans be celebrating the thirthieth aniversary of star wars with the start being a float in the rose bowl parade but also finaly after a long time waiting and false starts due to the perfectinim of both george lucas and steven spielberg over the script. its finaly going ot happend for george lucas revealed that 07 he will finaly shoot the long waited for indiana johnes four yep. indianna fans can finaly rejoice and cheer the film after a wait of enternity is happending finaly harrison ford will be doning the fedora and the whip and be indy one more time. even given his age. though george also said they have yet to pick a location to start shooting but otherwise finaly the much talked about and waited for film is happending for a release date in 08 so fans will have to wait one more year to see indiana johnes on the big screen one final time. for looks like the return of rocky has started a trend for now indiana johnes is coming back for a swan song. guess it means both steven and george got a script they both could sign off on and since steven is mostly done with principal photography on transformers. and george lucas doesn't have any films line up right now guess the timing fit right in for them to finaly after much talking and false starts to get together and make the film a go. well worth waiting for 08 . wonder if they will make sure indy has to have one more go around with his nemisis of snakes. and will short round also return in four. but george lucas fans now have an extra reason to be happy in 07 indiana johnes four finaly becoming a reality. and the thirthieth aniversary of star wars together.

its only a matter of hours or one more day and the people of iraq will bring in the new year with the end of a chapter of history by sadam being exicuted since he just got turned over to the iraqi authorthies which means by saturday at the earliest sadam will be taken to the gallows and iraqi people will have ended a long chapter of their history by sending their former dictator to hell for its over for him only a matter of when the goverment decides to take him to the gallows and the courts say no last minute stays of exictuion for sadams time has run out .and since he gave his will and possessions to his family members looks like sadam has execpted its over for good no more chances to avoid the gallows even though his family under islamic law have to be notified about him being exicuted and haven't yet plus the iraqi goverment is being tight lipped about how soon sadam will be exictuted. but the clock is now ticking for sadam is in iraqi custody which means any time now since the goverment want sadam exicuted by the end of this year sadam will be fullfilling his death sentence and be in hades. a chapter of iraqi history is coming to an end for sadam is headed for the gallows. and the year is ending with history being made the exicution of sadam husien which could happend by tommorror at the earliest. and thus ending a chapter in u.s history also. for being the main target of two gulf wars. now comes to an end by a hangmans noose.

after a little break for the xmas holiday and some goodwill. looks like the peace will not be going into the new year. for rosie and donald just fired round three in their feud. with donald ranting and raving over rosie calling him a pimp from a poam she posted on her blog. about beughty pagents contestants being like hookers who can't ever get away and the pimp even though she doesn't name him right out you know has got to be donald since he owns and runs the pagents and rosie was mad that he didn't fire miss america for under age drinking. and donald then saying he is not interested in going on the view and trying to make peace with rosey for rosey is a loser and will wind up bringing barbera down with her in flames her and the view. for it doesn't get good rattings.  and that when he is on it it gets good rattins so now donald is claiming the view can only get good rattings when he is on.  hate to say it but the view has been on the air for ten years and has been nominated for emmys a show with bad rattings would be long gone. besides roseys paam was her opinion on her personal blog for it didn't come out and say donald was a pimp though most figure it is about donald and the miss america stuff. looks like 07 will be starting off with rosey and donald still at it and hell freezing over or barbera locking them on the view stage or a judge ordering a truce between those two that plus sooner or later people are going to get sick of their feud and they will both be losing fans. though rosey and donald ever becoming friends after making peace from the feaud. hell is going to be freezing over and the devil is going to dressed like a polar bear before that ever happends.

as suspected the year is even ending with normal people caught in the web of doing things that you have to go what are they thinking for hard to belive or ask that the year end with people not losing their minds and doing things that are of the stupid kind and one has to go what are they thinking. in ill a thief hijacked a truck that contain brocoli yes someone stole a brocoli truck though cops wonder why the thief was after the truck for there is no value for brocoli and doubtfull it was because the thief had a craving for brocoli and didn't want to go and buy some. or was a crazy chef. in flor a carjacker gets lost and calls 911 for help thus turning himself into the cops. in london a would be purse snatcher learned not to messs with three woman who wound up chasing the thief and giving him a handbag whipping. in china plans are going on to use snakes as an earthquaked detector. since they seem to bob their heads when one happends. in sf a add showing a lecturing penis has gotten people to tkae notice about safe sex. and the penis is correct. in mont researchers have found in an old pit mine some organisms that could be a new treatment for lung and ovarin cancer but the stuff is in the waste of the mine in va a woman who sougth child support wound up arrested for rape for turns out the father of her daddy is seventeen which  means he was thirteen at time of conception of the baby. in fla an 81 year old was charged with attempeted murder for putting a plastic bag on his wifes head since she is suffering from alizimers and that the bag was so she doesn't puke on herself. and the goverment is still trying to get money from the execs of enron except that since one former exec is gay any money he put under his partners name the feds can't touch since he is not regonized as a spouse making him a party whose assets are harder to seize. as 06 comes to a close with people still doing things that one wonders what are they thinking or smoking.

proving that walmart still has a long way to go to improve its tattered image.  the walmart in brookings  here in south dakota. is the latest walmart to be causing some uproar as when cops and the bomb squad got called in to do a bomb search after someone called the store saying there is a bomb. the upper brass decided instead of evacating the store as a precuation given how many shoppers were inside doing exchanges and after holiday shopping to keep letting the customers shop while cops and the bomb squad searched every where while customers where shopping. doing so caused some managers to be a little upset . for the police told them to evacute the store as a precaution. some are saying the upper management decided not to because they were looking at about 40o grand ins ales plus they just though the threat was a hoax. any way which thankfully it turned out to be this time. but the community is now upset saying walmart put the saftey of customer and employees second to making a buck. by not doing what the cops did and eveacutate the store to be safe for surely they could have gone back and finished after the all clear.  not to mention the workers know that a bomb threat is code blue so they could have used the intercom and said code blue and no panic . though walmart officials say it wasn't money that made them decide not to okay evacuation for they take the saftey of their workser and customers highly still. thankfully the bomb was a hoax scary to think if the thing had turned out to be a real one and heaven it went off the lost of life because the big wigs at walmart decided not to follow cops suggestions and evacuate the store as a precuation. proving walmart needs some more work to fix their tarnished image. for if a bomb threat is called in its usally better to leave the building then to risk a bomb going off.

talk about this season of the real world wanting to be nothing but drama for the cast . turns out now colie has gotten mono from being a little too much of a fiend. and the others roommates sent her to the couch. for as long as she doesn't kiss any one or share saliva they are safe and it seems davis was absent for most of the stuff going on in the house in fact the whole episode. plus brooke turned out to be one reason why previous seasons have wound up kicking out a cast member for a replacement. for first she got lost trying to find a nail salon then made a comment about winding up what she thought was the gheto that had tyrus up in arms again then brooke goes crying and bawling to her mother saying she is in hell.everyone is being mean to her then saying she has to pay her rent in cal while she is there in denver. talk about a little paris hiltion of the real world. wonder how long before the roomates get smart and send her packing for after all the house could feel like hell to the other roomates too but brooke is to busy wanting to be a diva even getting upset over coolie having mono. and also missing the whole episode was stephen too. but the producers want drama in the real world so they got it. as brooke is showing her diva side and coolies recovering from the kissing disease so the hook up and nasty doing is out for a while .

talk about taking airports losing lugage to a new level. authorities in texas are trying to figure out how 68 pieces of lost lugage from a few airports that belonged to people traveling to places like dubi and london wound up in the dumpster of a pet store. yes someone theif made off with lugage and dumped it into the dumpster of a pet store. the lugage was turned over to contentital so they can try and return the lugage to their owners using the tags on them and trying to match flight records. which is a hard task since most of the owners flew to places like dubi and london so tracking them down may be immpossible to do.  but one thing the authorites are trying to figure out is how did all that lugage get into the dumpster. for one how did the thief wind up getting out of the airport with 68 bags without airport security figuring out something is wrong  unless the thief posed as a loader and while the plane was loading put the bags like one was loading them on the plane and then secretly made off with it. somehow. but lost lugage is part of flying but 68 cases vanishing and showing up in a pet store dumpster that is a new twist. and word has it that former president ford body will be lieing in state at the captital for he is getting a state funeral according to his widow betty. at the request of president bush . for flags are at half staff in washington. a way to honor a  man of history and now legend like ford was.

even though the democrats have vowed when they take over  next week. to put a motorium on pork barrel spending odds are good projects that have already been funded before the election and the takeover will still be funded even when the motorium goes into effect including  over 2,6oo ones that are in the defense bill and since some of them were in already completed spending bills they are already law so the mortorium will not effect them besides if one thought congress members wouldn't try to skirit the motorium and look at other ways to get their pork barreel someone needs to wake up the dems leadership. for congress could go after pork barrel funding by convicing the agencys to contiue wanting to pay for them thus getting them around the bann. not to mention the lobbyists who try and gain support for the projects. won't stand by and let their precious pork go away without a fight. for even though ithe thought of congress never being able to fund bridges to nowhere again is cool and good for the country. one way or the other they will still try and get their pork for the only way to completly be rid of pork barrel spending would be the democrats passing a balance budget amendment to the consititon and that is one thing that will never happend. for the motorium on earmarks and pork barrel is going to turn out to be a tiger with no teeth.

the world has lost a man of honor and a politician who wasn't dirty as word came today that former president gerald ford died today at age 93 though no cause of death was given. and the news came from his wife betty the same person the clinic is named after. ford was the only president who wasn't ever elected to the office for he took over after nixon resigned and then caused an uproar when he pardoned him saying te nation has now moved on. plus he was president when america finaly lost viatnam when sagion fell. but otherwise his presidency was just like a normal one. and in his private life ford spent his days quiet due to the fact that medical detoration kept him slow from a few strokes to heart aniplasty to being hospitilized for phenomia. ford was quiet in private life . and he was the same age as regan when he died.   but looks like a race to see how many famous people are going to get their reward before the new year comes. contiues this time a legend and an admired person gerald ford. though the cause of death will proably turn out to be phenomia  since he was in the hospital recently for it. but the world has lost another great person and a legend in politics as the first vice president and president to not be elected. rip gerad ford 1913 to 2006 sympathy goes out to his family.

even though the technolgy sounds like a disaster that would have enviromentilists and the epa screaming to the heavens and the only ones who used the technolgy so far were the nazies during world war two. but given the high price of oil and the instabiliting in the middle east. finaly forcing goverments to look at alternate clean fuel sources. one fuel source that is getitng a look at and thanks to improvement to factories that actully make the stuff is liquid coal yep. coal liquified by the process ctl. which turns the black hard dusty element to liqouid. and the waste from it is collected underground no pollution. for the technogly was created in 1920 but the price to do it was too expesnive and most like the u.s didn't want to go for it given the cost but now as a way to have some energy security and cleaner fuel sources liqouid coal is getting looked at again. though it will proably be decades before one could go to a dealership and drive away with a liquid coal powered car. proably the same time as cars run on hydrogen power. plus the only factories actuly making liquid coal are in south africa. so not only will it proably be decades to get the technology developed better since its never been used but also to get enough resources and factories to develop it and to make sure the waste doesn't cause an evironmental disaster of high proportions. plus the question of what to do when coal runs out. just like oil eventually will.

one thing that seems to have gone right for bush and the iraq war is that iraqs highest court has upheald sadams death sentence and thirty days from now  with just the formality being the president and vice president have to sign the death warrent which even though iraqs president opposes the death penalty he has okayed his vice president to sign for him which makes it legal  and thirty days from now sadam will be taken to the gallows and hung for sadam was found guilty of murder of a 123 shities. and as is iraqi law a death sentence handed down is automatically appealed. and the high court upheld it. so now its just a matter of when the sentece will be carried out and sadam will be headed to hades. finaly  for the president jalili talibinas deputy and iraqs two vince presients have already signed the okay the moment the sentence was upheld. and guess this means that the verdict in sadams current ongoing war crimes trial will proably be moot for he will be dead so the jury in that cases verdict will just be for legality since under the law sadam has thirty days after the court ruling and he is exicuted. so any new verdict will just be symbolic so at least one good thing about the iraq war is that the courts and the iraqi people actully want justice by having sadam put to death for the verdict is upheld by the highest court. and bush can't issue sadam a pardon no power there.  one dictator headed for hades a few more to go. for doctors are now saying castro is not being treated for cancer as is reported since he hasn't been seen in public due to poor health.

presents unwrapped. and wrapping paper away  reltives gone home for the day the meal is gone and eggnog tasting like it needs some scotch in it. xmas decorations gone down . no more having to brave stores for last minute stuff. marthons done on the tube. as the holiday has finaly gone away for the year. instructiosns being read to set up some new electronic toy  unwrapped. cards have been given and thankfully no more need be written good cheer had and comradery and some booze. as loved ones come together and now have gone away peace at last  normal is coming  no more husle and bustle as a another christmas has come  and gone. another one down with goodwill to men living and miricles commited. but now the beast of the holiday is asleep and no more promisies to keep no more promises to keep as another christmas has come and gone and time to sleep and time to sleep.

sympathy goes out to the family of james brown as the godfather of soul sadley died today christmas day of congestinal heart failure. after having a bout of phemonia. and a day before the film dream girls which he was a part of was to open not to mention that his poor widow was at a retreate when he died and of all the igdignites she comes home and finds herself locked out of their house by james lawer and accoutant. which ought to have the god father of soul a little upset to see his widow having this pulled on her while she is just starting the process of saying goodbye to her husband. and the greed is already begining. but once again a legend has gone to join god and the world of music will be less for another legend is gone. rip  james brown. the godfather of soul has left his post to join a more powerfull one. which made this christmas for his family a sad one. james brown dead of heart failure at age 73
