Already (Almost) Famous
My new blog is less than two days old and I've already been featured on a popular website, SteynOnline! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating my accomplishment of fame a teensy bit, because I didn't do much to earn it. All I did was link to Mark Steyn's great book, America Alone, on my 2007 Reading List.
I finished reading the book just a couple of weeks ago. And in complete honesty, the only reason I gave it a 9 out of 10 instead of a full 10 was because I had to read it in chunks. I couldn't take it all in with one gulp; it was so chock full of fact and wit, it had to be sipped. It was a fantastic, informative read, although unnerving and somewhat disheartening to see the facts laid out in such stark light that indeed, one day in the future, it may well be America alone. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, just read the book.)
Pssst, Mr. Steyn: In case you happen to drop by, thanks for the link. You are a brilliant and brave man. Thank you for standing up for the truth and for refusing to stop writing about it even when the going gets tough. You have the agreement and support of millions.

Resolutions: To make or not to make?
That is the question. I personally plan to make some rather significant changes in my lifestyle in 2008. Eating better (and less), exercising more (just a little, at least!) and just trying to be a more calm, organized, and "together" person. I have always loved the "clean slate" feeling of a brand new year. It's like getting another 365 chances to make things better, you know? So I guess I am making some resolutions, technically, since I am starting my new habits on 1/1/08.
What about you? Are you planning on making some changes in 2008? Below are some links I found pertaining to resolutions to help you decide if you haven't already!
