What a Wick: the last
7 days in 19 (2nd – 8th, Jan 2010)
 Happy
New Year! What were your resolutions? Have you
started on them yet? Can you even remember them?
I heard somewhere that 95% of New Year’s
resolutions are forgotten by the end of the
year. I don’t know how true that is, but
here are 19 of some of the most popular resolutions
we make. Let’s see how the world is faring
just one week into 2010.
1) Keep fit: A naked jogger chose the front
of the White House during near freezing temperatures,
as his training ground. He was taken into custody
and, therefore, could not achieve this goal.
2) Have better relationships: Rihanna starts
off the new year with a new beau, in hopes of
putting the issues of 2009 even further behind
her. Curiously though, not only is her new bf
a baseball player, but he’s one of his
team’s best hitters.
3) Quit drinking: Mariah Carey looked a little
sloppy when she accepted an award at the Palm
Springs International Film Festival. She acknowledged
that she was in fact drunk (Step 1 in 12), but
she still has 51 more weeks to clean up.
4) Find new jobs: Two members of St. Lucia’s
UWP submitted resignation letters. They cited
the current government’s poor performance
as the main reason why they are leaving their
old jobs behind.
5) Secure some ‘Me time’: Buju is
doing well at this. He was arrested on drug
charges in December and spent Christmas behind
bars. This month, he will also miss the Grammy
Awards where his latest album is nominated.
6) Manage finances better: In what is still
considered difficult economic times, Trinidad’s
TSTT is still being extravagant. According to
reports, the company will spend a total of 10
million on the Beyonce concert slated for February
18th.
7) Make some sacrifices: Ugandan witchdoctors
obviously took this resolution the wrong way.
These witchdoctors sacrifice the blood and body
parts of captured children to spirits, so that
their clients can attain their goals for 2010.
8) Find that special someone: PETA has found
that special someone in Mrs. Obama. There’s
no one better than the first lady to endorse
their cause? Only problem is that she did not
consent to the use of her image.
9) Enjoy life: “Nothing nuh wrong with
it…” That was the response of a
Jamaican to the idea of individuals having sex
in public during street parties. Thankfully,
not all Jamaicans hold that view.
