This is a classic scene from the 80's movie "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis. One of my all time favorite comedies.
Note: Sound is very low in this clip, and I couldn't find a better one on YouTube, so crank it up and enjoy the laugh.
So, the year of 2007 is rapidly approaching the end. Last years New Year's resolutions were all successfully annihilated long before the half way point of the year. I'll be a good boy and give my resolutions this year as well, and for the first time that will happen in the form of a blog. Maybe that'll help me stick to my "new agenda". That post will be available for your reading pleasure tomorrow.
I have not abandoned my Big Project... the "Rubicon Heart" story, in case you're wondering why it hasn't been posted yet. I just haven't had the energy/inspiration/time to write anything on that the last couple of weeks. Shortly after the new year, I promise it will be headed to a blog near you.
Also, I got to play a couple of Hold'Em tournaments yesterday. A final chance at poker in 2007 brought 10 of us together, seated around a poker table for eight. I did ok... second place in the first tournament, while I crashed out at the 6th spot in the second round. My beloved pair of 10's failed me for the first time ever in my home games (I have only once before lost with a pocket pair of 10's, and that happened at a casino in the very first hand of the tournament... thank God for re-buys). I play my pocket 10's as fiercely as I'd play pocket Aces - even more so, because of my genuine belief a third ten will be laid out on the table... it's quite amazing how often I draw three-of-a-kind playing that hand. Never got all four of them, though - that is reserved for pocket 4's, for some reason. I've had four-of-a-kind with 4's four times... see a pattern there?
Have a Happy New Year, everyone!
To the guys: "Cheeeeeeers!"
To the girls: *pouting lips for a New Year's kiss*
PS. Come back tomorrow for my New Year's resolution post!

happy new year to you too!
i have to make a resolution post still... this is hard!
mmmmmmm.... my first New Year's kiss. BTW, the whole playing with pockets thing... totally cracked me up.
lol! isn't New year resolutions meant to be annihilated?(You did the right thing!)
My resolution post will also be up(hopefully!)
Yeah, I pretty much blew my new years resolutions up within a couple of days. I've pretty much given up on those things. Well maybe. I don't know. LOL
You have kept all your resolutions? That is awesome. I thin that makes you some sort of super race of human. I am going to vlog my resolutions today, I think.
Jay Cam: Yeah, the resolution post is a tough one. I think I'll just list a whole bunch of stuff, and maybe - just maybe - I can honor at least one of them. ;)
Lakota Princess: Glad you enjoyed the kiss... there's more where that came from ;)
Joel: Looking at it in a historical way... it would seem so. I think this year, I'm going to try something different - and actually keep my resolutions!
Jay: You can't give up Jay! Giver uppers are losers! ;)
Well... it's sort of a tradition, and I'm a traditional kind of guy...
Karen: Kept them? Hardly... as I said - I annihilated them! Well... now that I think of it - I did go through with one of them... I lost some weight!
Looking forward to your vlog!
Happy New Year 2008 to you, R.E.H. !
Happy New Year!!
New Year's resolutions??? What are those? ;)
Wow all those guys in that clip look so young! it's been SO MANY years since I've seen it. It's funny I recogize people in that movie, like Al Frankin, that I didn't know then...
Have a great New Years!!
My resolution is to F**k all resolutions for the rest of my life. How's that for inspiration?
;)
Happy New Year!
Make sure I am the first one to get a kiss from you in 2008!
Loving Annie: Have a great 2008, Annie.
Alli: It's a great movie, isn't it? And, made back in the days when Eddie Murphy was actually funny!
TT: Very inspiring indeed ;)
Happy New Year, TT!
Preposterous Ponderings: Just stay close as the clock rings in the New Year... then fight tooth and nail to be the first to reach my luscious lips ;)
LOVE that movie!
Happy New Year!
Leighann: It is a great movie ;)
You too, a Happy New Year!
