Anita's blogs

Someone has been idle lately. This is some time I have ever gone between posts. I feel even worse for not visiting all the blogs I usually follow. I will check on top of things better this upcoming year. Last year I set a lot of goals and as usual, I only completed a small percentage of them. I was however qualified to do the following: graduate from college, get a scooter, run another marathon, and get 100 followers on my blog, and lose 20 pounds. Like most people this in the good old days b simultaneously of year, I have been considering what I'd like to accomplish in 2010. I know many people are against resolutions, but I think goals are depreciating for me or I don't get anything done.

As I was looking over my bucket list of things I'd like to do during my life, I was a little bit torn. I like the fancy of living life to the fullest, and I had previously made a list of all kinds of things I'd like to do some day before I die, but while I was reviewing the list, I began to query if I really wanted to some of the items I had previously written down. One example is being able to jump from my back to my feet like Jackie Chan and other marital artists do. It doesn't actually accomplish anything, but it sure looks cool. Also, if I really wanted to play the piano I probably would have stuck with my lessons when I was 10. I'm a bit confused if I giving up on my dreams or just determining what things I really care about?

I think this will have some credible things in store. I'd like to take my World to the Next level by turning it into a TV mini series staring Jacqueline Smith and Leslie Nielsen. If that doesn't calling out I will have some other surprises, but I will make it a better place to visit in 2010.

I abhorrence changes. I usually fight and kick to stay with what I'm comfortable with. It drives me crazy when Hotmail, Facebook, or something else you are sociable with changes their format. I think most people can relate to this. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I still don't know what Blue Ray is and I don't even understand Stew either. I think it's just really short blog posts or updates on your phone. I'm not sure, but the phrase "tweeting" certain sounds dumb.

I still don't have TV reception since last year because I haven't gotten around to installing my new HD receiver. I'm still hoping all the broadcasting stations will trade back to regular rabbit ears when they find out that I've been inconvenienced by the HD upgrade and would prefer not to change.

I have a feeling that there will be some major changes coming up ere long. I'm no Nostradamus, but it's obvious that change is inevitable. Since change is going to happen, I might as well to learn to accept it. I sometimes feel a seldom like those people who used to cling to their typewriters, rotary phones, or VHS players despite improved technology. I muse on the people who will make a killing in the new economy (also know as the crappy economy) will be those who are flexible and can quickly adapt to changing occupation models. Some people will actually thrive under tough circumstances if they have the right attitude. Those who embrace change can move onwards and benefit from the very changes they fear. I'd like to be one of them. I will try to get with the times this year and improve my abilities to adapt in a changing beget.

PS-While my need to accept technological changes is a no brainer, there are still many political, philosophical, and moral, changes and movements I am not a big fan of and don't map on embracing, just because everyone else is doing it.

Words are very vigorous, so I am surprised, yet glad we don't need a license to use them. A dictionary can be like an arsenal if you choose your words right. Valid ask a salesman or politician how important word choice is. Sometimes it bothers me to hear people dance around in circles with their gigantic vocabulary and never really say anything or take a stand. This sort of hollow talk is always useful if you intend to change your position and don't ever be to offend any particular group of voters.

I don't want to get off on a political tangent so let's return to the topic of words. I have a fixed vocabulary and there are some words that I like the sound of and there are also many I dislike. Here are some words that I like the sound of, but I never use them.

bombastic
archaic
pursuant
turpitude
careless
perfunctory
platitude

A name that I think is interesting, but just don't understand is Preakness. I'm not into horse racing at all, but I have in mind the Preakness is a weird name. It sounds more like an All Star Wrestler's name than an equestrian event.

Here are some lame words I disallow to use:
exacerbate
gig
condiments
shards
morsel
libations
flick
trousers
webinar
munchies

I'd like to remember what words you like and which ones you hate. I will now turn the time over to my valued readers and the comment box.
