What better way to start off the new year than discuss the past! Yeah, I know it doesn't really make any sense but, let's face it, I have been slacking off and not posting anything for a while. I had meant to do a "year in review" kind of entry with "best of"s and "worst of"s but since I didn't get my act together I never did it. So as part of this entry I can give a summary of that.
Here it is, Infinite Regress "year in review"

Note: I am not pitchfork/rotten tomatoes/ryan seacrest. You don't like my picks, I suggest you have a nice day somewhere else!
Anyway, enough of the past...IT IS TIME TO THINK OF THE FUTURE!
The New Year is a time when we can all gather around (except the Chinese who still insist on celebrating new years approximately a month later) and contemplate the Future. What will we do the same? What will we do differently? What crazy stories will we have this time next year (mine is the cocaine addict hitting on me mentioned in another blog?)? In what ways will the world change in the coming year? Will the economy bounce back? Will there be continued strain on the relations with Russia with our new President? Will we finally find Jimmy Hoffa?
New Year's Resolutions you ask?
I am going to try and eat better; drink less; exercise more; read more; learn a new instrument; become a better, faster, stronger human; work on my good citizenship; and most important of all...update my blog more. (oakley!)
