Christmas time is over,
The new year came and went,
I drank way too much last year-
thats WAY too evident.

But don't think that will stop me,
from keeping up this pace-
There's still more Crown and Coke around,
and I still like the taste.

So here's my resolution,
it's quite a daunting quest-
Find all the Crown in all the world,
and Finish up the rest.

Goals are something we all need,
It makes us driven folk.
So go about your daily lives...
Just don't drink all the Coke.

Now if you want to help me,
right here is what you do:
Last year you'd bring us each a drink...
This year, just bring me two.

Happy New Year, ukazu clan. Good Luck in all your '02 endeavors.

Well they yanked our last picture, so I've found some more photo entertainment to keep you all entertained until I have time to write something meaningful. The site loads one photo which is linked to some content elsewhere on the web. Each day the photo is updated. Simple enough, no? If you've got a couple of minutes more, check out his fake family photo album. Funny, funny, funny.

An example of the American Cowboy archetype in full color on foreign soil. The photo is wonderful and the soldier's expression is full of excitement and pride.

With the increasing tensions mounting between India and Pakistan and in anticipation of a conflict, I feel that I should share my thoughts on this situation with the ukazu clan.
This state of heightened tensions along the Indo-Pak border has been brought about by the recent terrorist attacks on the Indian parliament (Dec 13 2001). India has blamed two terrorist organizations housed in Pakistan for conducting this atrocity. It has demanded severe actions to be taken against the leaders of these terrorist organizations from the Pakistani government. It has also requested the extradition of the leader of one of these organizations to India to be brought to justice by the Indian government. The Pakistani government, which has been advocating its commitment to ending terrorism in the region since the beginning of the US campaign against Afghanistan has refused this request. The double play by the Mushharraf administration proves the opportunistic character of this despicable country.
By now most of you are wondering, why am I bothering to give you this information. Well to be honest I have been watching the news lately and have not failed to notice how the Pakistani government has been portrayed as taking a very diplomatic approach to the situation demanding to end the crisis with talks and peace. Well let me remind you all again that this is the same country that has never been able to sustain a democratic government since its independence. It has and is currently been run by a dictatorship. It is where the Taliban was conceived, nurtured and brought up to its current state. It is the cause of all the terrorism and atrocities in Kashmir. It continuously trains and provides support to terrorist organizations that conduct insurgencies and brutalities against innocent people all around the world.
In the wake of all that has been caused by Pakistan and its policies, India has run out of patience. The government has decided to once and for all attain a definite and substantial solution to the problem of terrorism that has caused the death of more than 75000 Indian nationals over the last 20 years. The build up of armed forces on the border is a testament to the determination of Indian government to show Pakistan that it is taking this issue seriously. The Indian armed forces have deployed more than a million troops that are more than ready and equipped to put an end to Pakistan’s constant malpractices in India.
The New Year brings new hope. The outcome of all that is happening is an anticipation of peace and stability. For the time being all I can do is observe and try to understand what is going on and what will happen. This game of chess that is been played by Pakistan and India has reached the final stages. All the pieces are in place and one wonders what the next move is going to be, but whatever the move I take pride in the fact that India is ready and Pakistan is about to be shown its place.

Alright kids, it's 01-01-02. What are your resolutions for this new year?

We had a wonderful night on the town last night. I think everyone drank too much and spent too much, but somehow everything came out just right. Nothing says "I love you man" like some cuss words and tequila shots.
