like resolutions really matter

happy new year



like most of you i have already rid myself of those nasty resolutions and it's on to the business of facing the daily grind with or without heaters, fat, alcohol, mates, or whatever other person, object, vice, fun, etc. i decide to try and live without for a week or so to begin the new year. now that the road ahead has been cleared for the remaining 51 weeks i can begin to strategize and come up with a real plan for success in 08. i anticipate the year ahead to be chock full o nuts and opportunities to do something different or significant that might just put this little endeavor on the map or at least a short video on you tube whatever the hell that is. my web designer has assured me that a "how to" video on killerburgers will be the shit for you and your tube. i'm thinking more along the lines of cable access myself. if nothing else i will be more resolute on behalf of the blog.





while surfing the cable networks today i ran across a promo for a show that essentially is about extreme makeovers for single wide mobile homes. you know kids where i grew up those makeovers occurred frequently in groups of 10-100 and were usually done simultaneously by none other than the mother of all designers--MOTHER NATURE herself.-- we called them tornadoes and the result of a few seconds of makeover was generally the most scintillating and breathtaking result you could possibly imagine. where once there was a rickety structure of tin and aluminum surrounded by lesser farm animals, pets, rusting cars or trucks, outdated farm equipment and lawnmowers, various amounts of garbage, pallets and a charlie brown christmas tree or two for landscaping purposes and beauty, the results of the nano second makeover we're truly astounding. imagine all that crap relocated in the same general vicinity minus the tacky aluminum box which has been shredded to add just the right touch of metal and sculpture to the living canvas. as many of you know, anything or anyone outside the box during the tornado makeover generally survives with a true appreciation for witnessing firsthand the master stroke that the world's pre-eminent designer creates.



we have a handful of those very same eyesores up and down the valley here in mediterranea but unfortunately we're not exactly overrun with tornadoes. for now we shall endure the shortcomings and hope that "single wide extreme makeover" makes it's way here before the realization hits the network executives that only a small percentage of the population enjoys watching their cousins get new digs while the majority of us would settle for a bulldozer should mother nature not have the time or inclination for all the makeovers needed throughout the single wide universe. i've had an eye on one here from the get go and hope to procure it soon for what will hopefully be a happy, festive occasion when the producers find their way to my front door with the great news that my tin teepee has been selected from among thousands for that 3500 dollar sprucing up that it and so many others deserve. now that's reality tv if ever there were such a thing.



maybe i should stick to food. don't get me started on rogaine foam. something tells me that product will find it's way to places that shouldn't have hair. imagine the havoc it would reek should our less than furry friends get ahold of that. we'll surely put a warning on the can. i think it's time to shave my head again. i'll try to post a photo of some of the neighborhoods' finest wobbly boxes soon so we can alert the tv folks that we have makeovers waiting to happen. until next time.
