It's the last day of the year and I think the number one thing that's flooding blogs all around the net is a list of New Year's Resolutions.
I'll tell you my first couple.
1) Write in my blog more
2) Exercise more
3) Eat healthier
4) Learn more about God
As sadly normal as those resolutions are, I am going to try my best to make some changes.
The end. Happy New Year!

Post the Seventh
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleonasm
I stumbled across this while reading about the La Brea Tar Pits since I recently visited the LACMA (the LA County Museum of Art). The La Brea Tar Pits is a prime example of pleonasm.
The La Brea Tar Pits, "La Brea" meaning 'The Tar" in Spanish, translates to The The Tar Tar Pits.
Sounds ridiculous, but really, we use pleonasm all the time. Click the link and read about it. I like grammar, so maybe I'm the only one who finds it even remotely interesting. Still yet, someone else on this planet had to have found it interesting enough to write about it. Right?
Have fun, grammar buffs!
