RESOLUTIONS

REVOLUTIONS

Sorry, folks, I don't make New Years Resolutions, I make New Years Revolutions. That's right, folks, I just stay on the earth and let it take me around and around with it.

The concept of the New Years Resolution presumes that you discover everything about yourself that needs changed all in one day. I don't agree with that. Suppose, for example, that on August 28 you discover a need for a change. It would seem to make better sense, to me at least, to begin the change right then instead of waiting until New Years Day, at which time you'll probably have forgotten all about it. So I just let the earth revolve and ride around with it, making whatever resolutions I need to as the earth makes its revolutions the way it needs to.

Here's what my very own wife and I were doing on New Years Eve:

We're resolving to continue revolving.

What would I do if I only had until the end of the year 2000 to set my world straight? Who cares? Why would I want to live in a straight world anyway? A bent world suits me just fine. I'll just have my fun in a bent world.

At your moment of earthly death, so says the Mystic Oracle, your life passes before your eyes, and that's your Eternity. If you've spent your life amassing power and wealth, achieving fame and fortune, and accomplishing grand accomplishments, you will suddenly realize that from this day henceforth it shall all belong to Somebody Else, who will probably use it in a way that you disapprove of, and you won't be able to do a thing about it. This will be your Eternal Damnation. If, however, you spend your life having fun and sharing your fun with everyone around you, you will die with the memories of all the fun you've had. Nobody can ever take that away from you. This will be your Nirvana.

The clock is ticking. A day without fun is a day of waste. Don't wait for New Years Day. Do it now. Resolve to revolve. Have Fun!
