New Year's Resolutions: Celebrity Edition

Today is New Year's Eve. Every blog and his brother (Do blog's have siblings? If not, they should.) is posting an article about what the respective author's New Year's resolutions are for the upcoming year.

Me? I'm gonna pass. I'm not that important. Who cares about my resolutions?

Instead, I decided to take a stab at what the resolutions should be for some key celebrities.

Just for giggles.

Friday Funhouse: Dec. 30, 2011

It's the last "Friday Funhouse" post of 2011.

It feels super weird typing that and even weirder reading it on the screen. Where did this year go? I guess we always say that, but it seems particularly true this go-round.

Usually, the "Funhouse" is a recap of the major happenings in that given week. With it being the end of the year and all, I decided to switch things up.

For this edition of "Friday Funhouse," I decided to recap all the big events that happened in 2011. It'd be too massive to post about everything that happened in the world or even the country.

Instead, I decided to focus on the major happenings in my life in 2011. Here's what it looked like:

Frat Dudes Music Video for Katy Perry's 'Firework'

I found this earlier today, thought it was hilarious and decided to pass the blessing on to you. If you don't have a sense of humor, you will despise this video:




Hilarious, no?

Putting the Pessimist to Sleep

Is it half-full or half-empty?

The optimist would say it's half-full. He'd say he was grateful for the water that he did have. He'd say every drop was a blessing and that some people didn't have any water at all.

Not me.

It's something that I've always struggled with. I'm a perfectionist. I'm competitive. I strive to be the very best at everything I do. 

That's not always a good thing.

Isle of Man Movie Review: 'We Bought a Zoo'

Every Christmas, after the turkey has been handily put down, the presents have been unwrapped and thrown into corners and we've had a bit of time to "digest" it all, the Haggerty family hits the town to check out a movie, together. It's a fun tradition that we started a few years ago.

Let me explain why this is a big deal.

I'm the oldest of seven kids. That's right. Seven. Three of us are married. Another of my siblings is close. We live in different places and operate on different schedules.

Getting all of us in the same room is award-worthy. Getting us all to, then, agree on a movie, get there together and actually make it all the way through? Well that's just a Christmas miracle.

We weren't all able to make it, but most of my family went to see Cameron Crowe's "We Bought a Zoo" this Christmas.

Here's what I thought of it:

TheIsleofMan.Net Interview: 'Tamara Lunardo from TamaraOutLoud.com'

Tamara Lunardo blogs about her thoughts on life and faith at Tamara Out Loud. Her writing is inspirational, vulnerable and, when she puts her mind to it, it's humorous as well. She also is a part-time freelance editor and writer, is often syndicated at BlogHer and contributes monthly at A Deeper Story. Last, but not even close to least, she is the mother of five children. She's practically a superhero. 

Tamara was kind enough to take some time out of her busy schedule to answer a few of my questions. We talked about "girl-versus-girl" cagefighting, tattoos and Christianity. She was a great sport.

Check out the interview after the jump!

This time of the year can be stressful. It's not supposed to be, but the holiday season brings a certain amount of frustration that can make it difficult to step away from it all and breathe. "The Isle of Man" is here to help. Here are three videos that make me laugh. Enjoy.
