New Year's Resolutions for 2005
For the past week or so I had a lovely winter vacation with my girlfriend Kymberly where we did not travel anywhere but instead both of my folks came to visit us here in Western Washington. I only have two days left before we have to go back to work but this is the last night in 2004 so I thought this would be a good time to type out my New Years Resolutions for 2005. They are
Work out for at least an hour at least four times a week.
Do a budget every month and stick to it.
Transfer 20% of my paycheck to saving account every time.
Extenuating circumstances aside limit myself to two games and DVDs a month. Rent instead of buying when appropriate.
Get up earlier and go to bed earlier.
Make sure that I only spend my money at predominantly "Blue State" businesses like Costco.
Do not grow a Mullet or Mustache.
Stay the hell away from Pan and Scan or Full Frame versions of movies.
Go over to Seattle about once a week.
Make sure to actually hard break at stop signs instead of almost stopping.
Save $20 a month in a jar to donate for the 2006 and 2008 elections.
And finally update my website at least five times a week.
New Resolution. Do not under any circumstances engage in an argument with a Freeper or Happy Troll via the Internet. It is an act of pure futility and nothing productive will come from it.

And don't forget: Get your ass kicked at Smackdown on a regular basis. It all sounds good except limiting your DVD & game supply. I mean what if a Genie appeared and offered you all 28 Godzilla movies on deluxe Criterion edition DVD for $2.00 each? Well here are my resolutions for 2005.
1. Watch a lot of horror movies.
2. Eat a lot of meat.
3. Play a lot of video games.
4. Do not become a Bush supporter.
I'm off to a great start!

Those are some good goals. Well I said "Extenuating circumstances aside" That means I can break that rule if I want to.

Work out every frickin day because I already do it four times a week.
Do a budget on my stocks and mutual funds so that I may maximize risk capital for investments in the currency markets and defense stocks which are now a bit flat but make for a solid investment long-term. I would also recommend investing in the futures market (heavily) …think SOYBEANS and clean burning COAL.
Buy a Charlie daniels album to piss off the hippies and never…ever…buy a MOBY album…because he sucks. No matter what Jake says. He is the biggest pussy I have ever seen.
Make sure that I only spend my money at predominantly "RED STATE" businesses by going to bluestate.org and finding out who to boycott... These websites have a dual effect…so don’t be so smug. Hmmmm…maybe I should shop at walmart more?
Cut my hair REALLY short so that when I go to Seattle I can get hassled by the dirtbags …wait…that never happens because they are afraid to hassle me…and they know it.
Stay the hell away from Pan and Scan or Full Frame versions of movies. (obvious)
Be an EVIL right wing bully.
Go over to Seattle about once a week to intimidate hippies over at the Pike Place market where the smell of clove cigarettes and body odor is almost sickening….almost.
Make sure to all of my police friends around here to look out for Jake running stop signs in his car….the make model and color of which….I happen to know. (just kidding)
Save $20 a month in a high-yield foreign currency bank note to donate for the 2006 and 2008 elections for the RNC (which my broker has advised me is a damn good idea). I put my money to work instead of keeping it "in a jar".
And finally…
Build a shrine to the movie DAWN of the DEAD and fire the first rounds through my bad-ass assault rifle that I just completed building….it looks really evil and aggressive and pisses off people in Seattle.
As soon as Gregoire is in office she will try to put a ban on such evil looking rifles and you can take that to the bank.
sheesh...give me a break.

Walmart is Communist China largest single corporate trading partner.

Gregoire cheated, she didn't win fair & square like George Bush.

This is me...mocking you, especially you BBQ. But you too Jake.
So here goes...
Bush cheated! Yayyyy...i am so mature!!!!
WAL MART is EVIL and not hip! Yayyyy!!!!
Only rednecks shop at Wal Mart! Even though I shop there too when it suites me and there are good deals on cheap, made in CHINA electronics! Yayyyy! Cheap goods from China are fine on Wednesdays….as long as nobody sees me there
**wink** (I saw you there too)
Dont eat at McDonalds because i saw super-size-me and I was soooo inspired! Yaaaaay!
I only eat at Jack in the box on Wheaton Way in Bremerton! Because it is not "corporate".?!?!?! YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY GREASE IS GOOD!!!!
(Yeah Jake, I saw you there in the drive through with your Gfriend…twice…).
Boycott the corporations (even though i work for a huge defense contractor) and shop at IKEA for Swedish-looking "hip furniture"! Yay! It is just like "fight club". The irony is so bitter that I want to swallow my tongue!!!!
Continuing on now….
Buy nothing day is so cooool! It is so non-corporate!
While I am bitching about the economy, I am going to tell people to spend nothing for a day (which would cripple the economy) YAAAAY! (Because it is somehow cool...I think...) YAAAY! I am so hip! I am going to Seattle! Yayyyyyy!
I wish I lived in Seattle again! Seattle is super hip! Did i mention how "cool" Seattle is? Man! I need a latte..but not from Starbucks because they are corporate WHORES! I only buy my coffee from small, independent, hip, cool,…. hip,…. cool...places that are like...totally non-corporate...and that are ...like...hip...with WI-FI!!!! and stuff. Starbucks is just friggin over-roasted anyway man.
Look at my "hipster" bumper stickers that define who I am! YAYYYY! EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY BUMPER!!!! Doesn't it make a statement??!!!
HEY! I am telling you who I am here OKAY?
With my bumper….and stuff. Look at my Fox news bumper sticker! LOOK AT IT WITH YOUR EYES!!!!! LOOK AT IT!!!
FOX should not be allowed to broadcast! GET OFF THE AIR FOX!!!! YAYYYY.
Republicans are bad, evil fascists! GWB is a terrorist/Satan! Yayyyy!
I can't even run a political Blog with comments enabled! (while I bitch about the Bush Blog not having any comments) I have become what I most despised! YAAAAY!
I am Jack's total lack of surprise...
You two are walking parodies of the characters in movies that you both wish you weren't representative of. I think you both know what I mean.
Sad.

1,2,3,...*counts down the seconds until Jake or BBQ rush in to delete any differing political ideas. Can't have any of that ya know*

Oh how dare I mention something that might trigger a far right surrealist ranting. You are so right Peter I should self censor what ever I might thing on the far flung notion that it might not click with the Drudge Report view of reality. It would just be un-American of me.
You know Peter you really should stop trying to make everything I write about you.
Posted by: Jake of 8bitjoystick.com at January 2, 2005 1:56 PM
Pete, you are 100% correct about those Jake and BBQ. Your mockery is on the money. I'm glad you took it to that level. Somebody had to do it.
Posted by: abe at January 2, 2005 7:41 PM
Don't flatter yourself Jakemeister.
It is not about ME Jake. I am afraid that it is about YOU. You, BBQ and your constant political sh*t-talking leads me to rant. You really should give it a rest and stop trying to be so "hip". It is juvenile.
You should enable comments on your political blog or shut it down for being intellectually dishonest.
Thanks Abe. At least someone is listening.
Posted by: pete at January 2, 2005 8:13 PM
Peter you have repeatedly shown pure overriding hatred of the Democratic Party but a total lack of understanding of what we stand for. You sound like a Freeper and it is really boring. My first amendment rights are not intellectually dishonest and I don't have to justify anything.
Posted by: Jake of 8bitjoystick.com at January 2, 2005 8:44 PM
Jake, it's pretty obvious as to why you no longer have comments on--soley to keep Pete from leaving any. As soon as Bush won, the comments were turned off. Who's going to bother reading your one-sided warped view on politics? He's the only person that ever seriously challenged you on this website.
FYI, your rebuttals to his rants were indeed juvenile and often led to you changing the topic(s). This made you seem uninformed, ignorant, and pretty much made you look bad. However, it provided your loyal readers with entertainment!

If I wanted to argue with Freepers I would go over to their bloody sites and proceed to piss in their cornflakes. I have trackbacks enabled that is more than Instapundant or Drudge. If you have something to say about it ping it from your own damn website. Trolling is just boring and complaining about limitations to your trolling is even more boring.
