It's Called "Fake Enthusiasm" People!!!
"Fake Enthusiasm" is my new un-official motto for the New Year. I was thinking about going with "This is going to be the best year ever!" but I don't want to start out 2006 by lying to myself and everyone else like that. So, I'm going with a very honest one. "Fake Enthusiasm" is how I'm going to live this year. No matter how shitty things get I'm going to pretend that it's all good.
Last night I did ring in the New Year in style. At the crack of midnight, I opened my 6 oz. bottle of exotic fruit Arbor Mist. I drank it straight from the bottle. Man, it was classy. Hugh Hefner, you sir, can eat your heart out.
This week I'm going to start working on my New Year's resolutions. It should be a huge pain in the ass, but it's all about "Fake Enthusiasm" this year. No matter how bad it gets while I'm trying to lose weight, I'm just going to pretend that I'm happy. Same goes for writing my book. Both things are going to take many, many months to finally complete. Both probably won't happen, but... wait, I forgot. Both are going to happen. *wink, wink*
There's that "Fake Enthusiasm" working its magic.
My Penguins have won two games in a row. That's only the second time that's happened this year. That's got to be some sort of good omen. Of course, when they lose the next ten games in a row, I don't think this good omen will mean too much.
Last night after I got home from the New Year's shindig I went to, I saw a box sitting on my front porch. I had no clue what it was because I hadn't ordered anything lately. It ended up being an order I made to Columbia House a week or so ago. I thought it was going to take way longer to arrive than it did. So, I opened it up and all I could think was, "Why did I order Ski School 2?" I remember liking that movie a lot when I was thirteen and had Showtime. It's a pretty funny movie from the 80's that had the same plot that all movies from the 80's had. Someone needs money to save their ski lodge, dance club, youth center, etc. but they don't come up with it in time, the bank takes it from them. To get it back, a group of well-meaning misfits try to raise money to get it back. When that fails, they make a bet with the banker or the banker's son and they have to win the dance competition, ski contest or whatever to get whatever the thing is they lost. They always win and someone always steals the girlfriend of the jerk. That's a classic 80's movie. Ski School 2 is no exception. I just don't know what possessed me to order it. Maybe I'm weird.
