Making resolutions in real life never made much sense to me, though I certainly have some goals I’m anxious to reach (visions of completed screenplays and book proposals dance through my head), but I thought it would be fun to note some of the meanderings I hope to post in 2009. I foresee more blogs about gender and race, though politics will be in the mix too (the GOP and it’s hilariously painful struggle with race and racism probably deserves its own special sub-blog!). I want to write about:
- Men and apologies
- Michelle Obama and Clare Huxtable
- Why the military is a socialist institution
- Why men might just be smarter than women
- The Oscars and its treatment of women
- Universal health care
- Tyler Perry
And if my current weight loss continues (since July, I’m down about 20 pounds and counting), I’m sure I’ll be writing about sundresses and dating at some point.
I hope 2009 brings you peace, prosperity, and enough joy to balance out the inevitable struggles and setbacks that spring up along the way. I hope those things for myself too!
I also hope you’ll keep reading and commenting on what we write here.
Apropos of absolutely nothing, I’ll leave you with what might be my favorite YouTube video of the year. It’s only 30 seconds long, but it can take me from tears to laughter in 14 seconds flat. Maybe I can relate it to the importance of universal health care in 2009. Enjoy!
