Resolution Plinking or Your Wishing Sucks
Sixteen days ago I asked my readers (all six of you) to wish me retroactive luck on a math exam at work. I recently received the results; I got a 15. Depending on who you ask, the passing score varies between 16 and 18. In any case, I failed.
This tells me one of three things: either retroactive luck doesn't work, you didn't wish it to me, or your wishing it sucks. Because of a certain incident in my past involving a a Rubik's Magic Puzzle and an obnoxious Jefferson County Deputy I'm convinced that retroactive luck can work. I also have faith that all my readers, in fact, wished me the required luck. That leaves "your wishing sucks" as the only possibility.
#1 Resolution for the new year--Pphbbt!
In other news, I was planning on taking some tech writing classes this semester but due to a monumental foul up at the CU-Denver Bursar's office, I wasn't able to take those classes
#3 Resolution--pah-tang-thoof!
Jodi's finally decided on an academic path. I'm very happy for her. Actual goals can make such a difference in life. Of course, along with her academic choices goes a serious and long-term financial outlay. This will preclude purchasing anything made by the Apple Corporation.
#2 Resolution--kaput-tah-toy-tah-toy-puthpk!
Resolution #8, assasinating the Vonage Song guy, would surely prevent me from achieving the work-related bullets, so I must regretably remove it.
#8--Resolution--sha-zang-pah-tick-i-pow!
Resolutions 4 and 5 are mostly out of my personal control so, besides the blogging, all that's left is the running and the blogging. I have enough blogs to hold me through till march so all that's left is to run. I hate running, but it feels so good when I stop.
I guess I'll be getting some new shoes.

Sorry you didn't do well man. It sucks to know you failed a test you wanted to pass. I assure you, I know the feeling. More than you realize.
Hey, do me a favor and take some of your newfound time (now that you're not studying for that test) and call my mother. She has some computer issue and Kevin isn't around to fix it. I can't be tech support over the phone, but perhaps you can.
New year's resolutions: I'm still doing them, but it's still not fun.

I was recently told that I must not be reading your blog since I don't leave comments very often. Not true...Having an actual career path with an attainable goal is great. When will you be choosing a path? I luv u

Running it is. Let me know when you want to start. Bear in mind that we probably can't just pick up where we left off (you know, a quick two or three miles and then one of us contracts the respiratory version of the flu)
Anyhow, I will focus more on my wishing skill level. Perhaps a wish spell would have been more appropriate
