that time of year again

...when all the motorists are playing with their new xmas gift ipod, palm pilot, wii-adaptable fax bluetooth cellphone color printer memory card, or other miscellaneous portable electronic distraction instead of actually driving. i hope your insurance rates all go up.

...when the gym becomes overrun, at all hours, for the next 2.5 weeks and the locker room is littered with the price tags of new spandex inspirations, until all the fatties give up, the bulimics cry, and only us regulars actually hit the gym daily. i guarantee the store will be out of my staple, nonfat plain yogurt, during this mad surge as well.

i never understood resolutions. why don't you make an improvement in your miserable lives when it's appropriate, and not on some arbitrarily defined annual occurrance? you know you are destined to fail anyway. you've seen commercials with jared and his subway secret. how many weight loss commercials have you seen where someone's new year resolution became a lifelong commitment to eating healthy and getting regular exercise? give up and return to reality; some of us live here.

and stay out of my gym.
