So I am leaving for Boston on Monday Morning. I will still try to post stuff (though I have been failing miserably as of late), but if I don’t at least I have a valid excuse.

Did you watch the speech? I heard it on the radio and it was amazing! Here it is for all to see:

My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans. (more…)

 

Someone’s Had A Change Of Heart … Thursday, Jan 15 2009

So college application season is coming to a close. How many of you have applied to college? Well now you can count me among that number.

Yes, I have done the unthinkable and applied to college. I have no idea what came over me, but now I may be a college student in the future. Its bizarre to think about because I made such a convincing arguement  against college.

Well, things change … that’s all I can say about that. I would appreciate you guys keeping the “I told you so’s”  and such to a minimum on the comments. I know I deserve them though, so go ahead.

Welcome to 2009! All predictions indicate that this will be the best year ever. Even though I have always been a terrible resolution keeper I figure this year is a good year to try.

But other resolutions are, well less important. So here are my 2009 Writing Resolutions.

  1. Finish my 2009 NaNoWriMo Novel – Edit it and try to sell it.
  2. Focus on finishing my other NaNoWriMo novels – the ones I failed at writing.
  3. Find a publisher – someone to be my Yoda in the crazy publishing world
  4. Become a millionaire

Okay, the last one is a joke, but I can dream can’t I? So fess up, what are your New Years Writing Resolutions?
