A Dog’s New Year Resolutions.
I will stop trying to find the few remaining clean pieces of carpet in the house when I am about to throw up.
I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc.
I will not eat other animals’ poop.
I will not lick my human’s face after eating animal poop.
I will not eat my own vomit.
I will not eat “kitty box crunchies”.
I will not eat any more socks and then re-deposit them in the backyard after processing.
The diaper pail is not a cookie jar. I will not eat the disposable diapers, especially the dirty ones.
I will not chew my human’s toothbrush and not tell them.
I will not chew crayons or pens, specially not the red ones, or my people will think I am hemorrhaging.
When in the car, I will not insist on having the window rolled down when it’s raining outside.
I will not drop soggy tennis balls in the underwear of someone who is sitting on the toilet.
I will not bark each time I hear a door bell on TV.
I will not walk under the big dog when he is peeing.
I will not steal Mom’s underwear and dance all over the back yard with it.
I will not play tug-o’-war with Dad’s underwear when he’s on the toilet.
The sofa is not a face towel. Neither are Mom & Dad’s laps.
My head does not belong in the refrigerator.
I will not bite the officer’s hand when he reaches in for Mom’s driver’s license and car registration.
I do not need to suddenly stand straight up when I’m lying under the coffee table.
I will not roll my toys behind the fridge.
The garbage collector is NOT stealing our stuff.
I must shake the rainwater out of my fur BEFORE entering the house.
A Random Post About Life And Perfection.
I have the feeling that im standing in front of a mirror and seeing myself for what i am for the very first time. Then i get the feeling I’m watching myself look into that mirror from a distance, so i can see myself clearly, as-well as my reactions to myself.
Its a strange feeling.
Like life is running away, and their is no way to pull it back, the harder i try to catch up with it, the faster it runs. Every-time I’m looking back in the mirror, and still unaccomplished, like i never achieve nothing, and all i do is mess things up.
Maybe i take what my parents say straight to heart, or maybe to seriously, but they are the only people I want to make happy in the world, they are the people i try my hardest for. I stopped trying for myself a long time ago. When I get straight A’s, they ain’t good enough, I know they expect straight A*’s, but that’s not going to happen. I already feel worthless enough, without their needed input. I don’t need their constant criticism, i feel bad enough anyway, I’m not going to meet their expectations, so they should just drop it. So what if im not perfect? So what if i cant write in a perfectly straight line?
I’m done with trying to be perfect. Perfection is something that cannot be made if it is not created from the start, yet perfection, once created can be destroyed all to easy. Our world, was created perfect, complete, yet it is slowly being destroyed. A human cannot be perfect, but can destroy perfect things. Maybe that’s just the way it was meant to be.
I don’t really know what the point to the post was, but i know i have to stop trying to please everyone. Stop trying to be perfect, because it is never going to happen. Time is going to run away, and i cant stop it, but i have to make the most of it, the best i can. We all do.

My View: Knife Crime
It breaks my heart to see another family torn apart on the news by knife crime in Britain, as Britain is named the Knife Crime capital in the developing world.
Statistics vary, but both the worst-case and the other statistics are far too much.
“A worst case projection indicates that 60,000 young people (predominantly male) may be stabbed and injured in the UK each year”
That’s a shocking 164 a day.
however
“A rather more conservative estimate could be 22,000.”
That’s 60 a day.
The statistics vary, but there is one thing that doesn’t. Far too many people are injured or killed in Britain due to knife crime. It needs to stop. Knife Crime tears families apart, ends lives, young and old. It takes such a small amount of time to kill someone with a knife, but results in a lifetime of tragedy for the victims family. Even if the attack isn’t fatel, the result stays with the people affected.
Young people are carrying knives without being aware of the consequences. While watching Eastenders this week I watched the stabbing of Jay Brown, played by Jamie Borthwick I am happy that soaps such as Eastenders are bringing these Issues to life, and showing the consequences that carrying a knife can have. The stabbing also highlighted the problems of Gang Crime. Jay told his dad Jase Dyer, that he wasn’t going to use the knife he was carrying. Jase told him that if you carry a knife you will use it, or it will be used against you. Young people don’t seem to understand this concept. The BBC received almost 200 complaints about the episode, saying it was to violent for a 7:oo show, as children could of seen it. Surly if it is tackling knife and gang crime, surely it was beneficial for young people and children to of seen it?
As knife crime continues to rise in Britain, I just hope that this problem can be tackled and controlled to save people being hurt. It is not just teenagers and young people who get affected by this, as highlighted in Eastenders. People of all ages are at risk. It is common these-days to see grieving parents on the news while eating dinner, but there are also children grieving for their parents.
I hope we can see a fall in knife crime soon to save any more hurt and pain that is caused, and families which are torn apart.

2008 – Make It Count
We opened the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.
“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”
A New year is a fresh start and a new beginning So forget any sadness and pain of the last year. Treasure the memories and the good times, 2008, a new start make this year better than any before.
