2007 RESOLUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

I don't normally do New Year's Resolutions (and when I do, I have a hard time keeping them) but there are some things I'd like to change, either personally or if I ruled the world, in 2007. I figure before the year gets to be two full months old, maybe I should finally share them.

The following hot 2005-06 catchphrases should please be retired immediately. They are old, tired and even our grandparents are using them, which means that the following phrases or terms are now too unhip to be uttered for 2007:

"Jumping [or jumped] the shark"

"That's how I roll, dawg." (I'm guilty of using this one)

"That's hot."

"Don't talk about/stop staring at my VJ-jay!" (Actually, there's a whole bunch of these from Grey's Anatomy that probably ought to go.)

"Bee-yotch" (Its still okay to say Beyonce though. For at least another few minutes, until we all officially get sick of her.)

"Very ni-ice!" [in bad fake Kazakh accent]

And the two trends I'd like to see most fade away in 2007--semi-hot, semi-retarded Hollywood starlets going out on the town without wearing any panties (you know who you are) and torture scenes as a major vehicle for entertainment in prime time dramas (24 and Lost, I still watch you, but you are the prime offenders. Time to get a new plot device...)

If any of you out there have any phrases or sayings you'd like to see retired for the new year, feel free to share them. This weekend yours truly acts a small part in a no-budget, straight-to-downloading indie film. I'll share stories and maybe pics with you on Monday.

Until then...peace!
