New year resolution

First of all

Happy New Year to everybody

I hope your 2006 is full of love, laughter and learning.

My plans for the night are somehow sedated, a traditional dinner, Wrestling on the telly, trying to stay awake until midnight and maybe later to wish Happy New Year to the people in the Sylum chat.

Just finished marinating the lamb for tomorrow (and reassuring my father that is going to be fine. What is about Italians and food. You suggest something that is slightly different from their sacred traditions and it looks as if you have insulted their mothers?)

Now I am here to share with you my new year's resolution. *drum roll*:

To laugh more.

To laugh at myself, at life, at problems at people's nastiness, at people's wankiness, at everything and with everybody.

But especially at myself. I am an human being, a decent human being, don't need to strive for perfection, simply follow my path into the light and fill the darkness with laughter.

Because Chesterton was right  when he said that Jesus had only one secret from his disciples, the one thing that we never see him do in the official Gospels: his laughter.
