New Years Resolutions

I hope everyone that reads this has a safe and prosperous New Year in 2005.

My New Year's resolution is to try and be nicer and more helpful to people in the coming year. I hope to be able to achieve those goals and do so in a calmer, more mild mannered method than i have used in the past. This is a new year coming up and i'd like to start with a clean slate. As such, i'm asking those that i've offended or argued with in the past to forgive me for my past discretions, comments and attitudes. Regardless of whether someone is willing to do that for me, i'll do that for those that i've held grudges with and / or gotten into disputes with. As Mr Mellencamp says on his latest release "grace, mercy and forgiveness will help a man walk tall" and that is what i would like all of us here to be able to do i.e. walk tall with our heads held high amongst friends.

Best wishes to the Agon family. I hope we can all have a safer and more enjoyable life in 2005. Happy New Year!!! Sean

I just spent an extended vacation with one of my parents who likes to pick fights with people. This can be achieved by simply throwing something into the mix that might 'energize a conversation' when in reality it is meant to bug somebody.

Having watched this I realize that this habit got into me when I was young and it is only now revealing itself.

I am finding myself as annoyed with myself as I was, growing up with this parent watching fights start that were so much better of not having happened.

What I need to do is avoid needlessly picking fights and, even more important, I need to relax a bit when others make points that might otherwise bug me.

Of course, (heh, heh, heh...) this is only me I am talking about and I am not doing anything else, whatsoever.
