6 New Year's Resolutions For 2006 & 6 Wishes For 6/6/06

I'm a little belated, actually I'm very belated, in stating my New Year's Resolutions for 2006. I may be 6 months late with this post, but in a way, this is the perfect day to post this. Today marks the dreaded 666 on calendars and despite the superstition that surrounds this day, I'm hoping that today brings me a little luck. If not luck, then perhaps some hope for the future and a clearer idea of what I'm striving for in the upcoming 6 months and a reminder of what I've accomplished in the past 6 months. I actually started compiling this short New Year's Resolution post back in January, but for whatever reasons, I sat it on the back burner (and if you read my list below, it's about the only thing I know how to put on a burner). So some of these resolutions may of already been reached and some of these wishes may of already been granted, but I'm including them because...well just because. I don't need to share my "because" reasons.

By the way, "do not procrastinate" was one of my original resolutions before I realized that making "do not procrastinate" a New Year's resolution and then putting off actually declaring it for 6 months defeats the purpose of having it as a resolution in the first place. Deep thought, huh? Anyway, I don't want to procrastinate another minute rambling, so here is the list...
