Location: Boise, Idaho | Seems like we just did this, so:
1. Do a search and make the same resolutions as last year;
2. Don't procrastinate so much;
3. Do a search next year and make the same resolutions as this year;
4. Learn the songs I said I'd learn last year;
5. Lose the weight I said I'd lose last year, plus the weight I gained this year;
6. Get off my fat ass and do something instead of making resolutions. |

Never make light of TJ's 'adoption' practices.
Never use the word 'curmudgeon' on this site.
Never use 'Ovation', 'Adamas', 'Breadwinner' and 'Deacon' while in Google or on Craigslist and eBay.
Visit the Mothership.
Learn to play an acceptable "Classical Gas".
Never use emoticons.
Never again 'ski' in deck shoes!

I think that's the chorus. It needs verses.
A drinking verse, smoking verse, women verse and a funny suprise 4th verse or maybe bridge and then back into the chorus.
Feel free guys....... |
