Dear Politicians

Stop trying to please everyone.  It doesn't work and it's not healthy.  If you don't support something, that's fine.  But you need to say so when asked.  This "not not" supporting isn't good enough anymore.
Yes you risk not getting votes, tough.  Your job isn't to get elected; it should be to serve the people.

Please don't make me start my own campaign, you won't like it.

It will be the "yes or no" campaign.  If you can't answer a simple question with "yes or no", regardless of how I feel about the topic, you will get ignored.

Yes I know that not every topic or opinion can be answered so simply.  This is about being able to express you view.

Year of the Dragon

I've spent all of 2011 (and a little of 2012) embracing the Chinese year of the rabbit as 'my' year.  From working on being my selfish and self-centered, to finding a hair stylist I really enjoy, to buying a house for myself.  But as the end of that year is coming up, I find I'm sad that it won't be 'my' year anymore.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

The next year is Dragon.  Ever an awesome year and one I can fully embrace, and dare I say, make my own.  Dragon isn't a year to lament.  Dragon isn't just for special people.  Dragon is the height of the cycle, the fires of creation at their brightest.  That's the year for me, oh boy!

Just as I was Rabbit, so shall I be Dragon!
