Welcome 2007, now listen up
I can't get on my blogsite for some stinking reason so I'm writing on a blank email. I'll send it to myself and post it later, if your reading it, then mission accomplished.

I was thinking about what advice I'd offer the incoming year if it were to ask:
- Don't make predictions. They never come true and even if yours does, it's going to sound like "I told you so" if you tout your tremendous powers of perception. Plus, there's going to be so many others saying that they predicted what happened, that really didn't, why bother?
- Get over yourself early. You're just another year and people will only remember what they want to.
- Take everything with a grain or two of salt. You're going to hear about cures, curses and causes that never will be proven or disproved, that may or may not materialize and none of it will end up worth a fiddler's fuck.
- Don't get snookered into anyone's game. They all want to use you and in the end they'll all lament over how lame you were.
- Keep reminding yourself that only through humility are you going to be able to find peace with yourself.
- People are like bees minus a unifying purpose, they fly around, buzz and sting but never produce much worthwhile for the entire colony.
- You'll be better off to pass through unaffected by woes and cares, you're just a page in the book not the whole story. Always remember you're here for a good time not a long one.
Any suggestion? Gene
