Nine Things to Help You Make Things Happen Successfully In 2008

Since it has once again come upon the beginning of a new year.. I went on a help lockie hunt for some inspiration to get my butt up out of this chair. Something to make my life an endeavor to at least look organized and together. At least get something to blog about! hehehe... I have this tacked up on my refrigerator.. has been there so long it is yellow and when you touch it .. the paper kind of flakes off.. sigh.. wish I could say I have been putting these tips into action in my life.. but I can't. But it is never too late to get back to actively taking my life back into my hands, as far as circumstances will let me. So I think I will type this up again.. and print it in the largest font that will fit on the paper and go for the golden lockie award once more in this thing I have been doing that I call living. Hey, just think about for a second.. already gave me something new to blog about.. hummm.. this might work out pretty good .. so in the interest of lockie sanity.. YEEEEEEHAAAAAW BABBBY! LOOKOUT HILLBILLYVILLE.. THE LOCKIE IS LOOSE AND LOOKING FOR A PROJECT! MAYBE EVEN A FOR REAL JOB! WHOA! BETTER SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT.. GETTING WAY TOO INVOLVED IN THIS ALREADY! HEHEHEHEHE! 1. Never compromise your integrity for anyone or anything.
