well, hello there little piggy

We're all supposed to leave baggage and bad vibes by the time the new year arrives, but sometimes that can be a hard thing to do. We all try hard, though, I'm sure.

So, what do you want to get rid of in your life as 2007 rolls around? Here's my list:

• the guilt feeling of not being with my loved ones during the holidays
• the accumulating flesh around my hips
• incessant thoughts of being unattached at an attachable age
• bouts of hissyfits when i can't get what i want or can't accomplish what i wanna accomplish
• too much dependence on medicines (advil, claritin, tylenol etc..)
• too much dependence on the internet
• the persistent desire to stick sharp objects into cruel and superficial bigots at my workplace
• negative vibes, thoughts, feelings (okey let's scrap the bullet point before this shall we?)
• being too hard on myself - careerwise
• fear of death
• fear of not providing enough (financially, emotionally) for my family
• fear of not being a good mother..

it's the year of the pig so technically it is my year since i was born in the year of the metal pig. (please don't ask me why its metal. i do not have an oinking idea)

seriously, i don't ask for much. all i want is peace. world peace. education for all. an end to oppression and more opportunities for women. seriously. SERIOUSLY.

i thank you. oink.
