Here is a list of lame top 10 New Years resolutions...
And,
Some history about the song everyone always sings but doesn't know what the hell it means:

Auld Lang Syne

The song, "Auld Lang Syne," is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English- speaking country in the world to bring in the New Year. In spite of the
popularity of 'Auld Lang Syne', it has aptly been described as the song that nobody knows. Even in Scotland, hardly a gathering sings it correctly, without some members of the party butchering the words.

Written by Robert Burns in 1741, it was first published in 1796 after Burns' death. "Auld Lang Syne" literally means "old long ago," or simply, "the good old days."

Wikipedia has a great page on it...

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
And surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

I got OWNED in my epic PONG match!!!!!!

2007-11-19T15:49:00.000-08:00

Before, During, and After...

The bet: If I win a best of 5 series I get a studio in Belgium and an apartment for 6 months! If I lose, I have to give Tim, my gallerist in Belgium, a painted head sculpture and a photograph.
Before the match, all were confident.

Once we started I realized very quickly that I was in deep trouble. Tim is very fast, and anything I returned even a few inches over the net was enough for him to SMASH back violently with lightning speed.

Afterward, I hang my head in defeat. He beat me in straight sets.
First game: 21 to 7
Second game: 21 to 9
Third game: 21 to 8
My only points were basically his mistakes!

Went to Australia. Quite nice I must say.

2007-03-06T13:47:00.000-08:00

Lurked in the streets of Sydney taking pictures and checking out bookstores. My Camera broke and I had to search the cities' camera shops for a film camera, no easy task in this digital age. Found a cheap Canon. I was there to take part in a group show with my lovely wife Deanna, Jim Houser, and Aussie D-Mote. It was at the Monster Children Gallery.

Houser was in fine form, somehow matching his palette of colours.

Then I went down to Melbourne for some skateboarding but got injured (knee & ankle simultaneously) within an hour of arrival. That sucked pretty bad, but gave me another week of 'vacation' time, looking at bookstores, galleries and museums.

Oh yeah, in Sydney, I rented a car and drove (on the other side of the road for the first time!) to a nature park. It was 800 times better than going to a zoo. We saw this Cassowary 'the disemboweling bird.' These guys have a mean temper, and a real long sharp middle claw that is perfect for ripping your gut open... enjoy.
