I am hopeful in this next year that my business will grow and all will be well.

I would like to see my father capable of walking again or perhaps able to eat food. It is so sad when incompetent doctors and staff rob people you love of their quality of life.

I would like to see Marijuana legalized or at least decriminalized. I would always prefer the company of a pot smoker too that of a drunk.

I would like to see programs funded that would stop my incurable diseases and extreme pain. But for now pain consumes a good 3/4's of my day. I refuse to get hooked on painkillers and only take them at night so I can get some decent rest. Marijuana helps a lot with the psychological aspects of my pain. It is nice to disassociate yourself from pain even if you can still feel it at least it doesn't consume your thoughts as much.

I would like to see the people of the world work together to destroy the present foundations of our governments in a peaceful way and redistribute the wealth. I doubt that can happen especially when most the 3rd world people are too busy trying to find the basic neccesities just so they can live.

I would like to see people be nicer to others in grocery lines, on freeways and all around. I don't see this happening with the evil and lack of virtue most people have but I can always wish and hope and do my part to make it happen.

It's the first day of the year so we'll see how it ends in Decemeber of 2004.
