2009 Hopes for New Year
Well 2009 is here and now most of you are tackling your new resolutions and returning back to your regular schedule. What are you hoping for in the New Year? Here are some of my hopes and wishes for the New Year.
I first hope to make this blog bigger and badder than ever before. Yes, in 2009 there will be more posts and visits than ever, including actual pictures and possibly some video. Superdad just had a upgrade in the current computer I write on, so the days of working of Windows 98 is now left in the nineties, where it belongs.
As for world and topics of interest for me and possibly others out there.
Maybe the Chicago Bears will win the Superbowl, wait! We got to wait till 2010 on that one. Instead we will still here Brian Urlacher whining about people picking on him in the media. I’ll try to be nicer in 2009, yea right.
The Chicago Blackhawks will make the playoffs for the first time this century. That might be the most realist thing to happen on this list. Just no more games at Wrigley Field, we don’t want to jinx the Hawks the same the Cubs have endured for a 100 years.
As for my Northside nemisis, I say this as a part of the Southside Sox fan nation we will rise again in 2009 and torment you again, until you win. The Chicago White Sox will be younger and leaner than ever befor in 2009. New York might of spent all that money on free agents like Mark Teixera, C.C Sabathia, and A.J Burnett but my money is on the Sox in 2009 and not the red ones.
The Chicago Bulls have hit a new low in early 2009 as the team looks like a junior college team playing against NBA Hall of Famers’ every night. My hope is that Derrick Rose gets a whole new team around him that actually intimidate opponents. Can we please get that eight foot center who can score and block? And “no” not Ben Wallace Jim Paxson. I know you played as a guard and think guards are priority one but we have 6 starting guards, a coach who is a ex guard, and no one else who can play inside, oops. You did win six championships as a guard but, you also had good forwards and centers that allowed you to play at a championship level.
In a whole new spectrum politics, we all pray and hope with action as well that Barack Obama can save our struggling country as a whole. Just keep Rod Blagoejivich away from you as far as possible. You have done well Mr Obama dodging that bullet so far and actually coming down hard publicly on the soon ex governor of Illinois for his actions. Thank you for not looking the other way and reminded that your leadership and presence in Illinois is still needed to help a struggling legislative branch in the state’s government.
I hope peace is an objective in the Gaza Strip in the Middle East. Every day since, the Holidays started and plus countless other times of violence in this region, people are dying because of violence and constant fighting among Israel and Palastine. All that is seen right now is more death and no negotiations. I understand this region has been a melting pot for violence for many years but, enough is enough.
Lastly I must say this we all need to do a better job of being a little more positive. We all are guilty because of the current economic times but that is because we let the media and the press keep us down. Remember they get paid more the more you watch their depressing news and stories. There are very few good news stories that are more about heart, giving and rebirth and that is what we need to be more excited about in 2009. In my world 2008 was one of my best years and I am far from rich or even have a secure career for that matter. It’s all about perspective and make sure you keep yours a positive one, it will make you feel better every day and make the harder days a little less painful. Thanks for reading and 2009 will rock your socks off, if you believe it happens.
