I'm going to add to the chorus and say that I don't do New Years Resolutions either... make a change when it's time to make a change. That being said, 2010 is the year that I'm going to write a graphic novel. I think it'll be good, too. The idea terrifies me, throwing down all your chips, but fuck it. You gotta take some risks.
Having graduated college this past June the whole "getting on with my life" needs to happen. Basically I need to start exploring my interest that can help me provide a life for myself (ie a job that I won't hate), not just surfing the internet and partying...
My thoughts exactly Nettdata! I always hated the going to the gym in January. I don't do New Years Resolutions! If I were doing NY resolutions though I would go with "stop jerkin it so much!" But since I don't, I've allready implimented this.
I have several things I need to resolve to do: 1. Clean out the trunk of my car. Lately, I've been lax in cleaning up the dead hookers that seem to find their way in there. I'd sell the car, but I'd be afraid the new owner has been watching too much CSI and call the cops. Fucking busy-bodies. 2. Buy more land. When you start a new hobby, you don't tend to get the most expensive thing because you don't know if you'll really stick with it. When I started playing guitar, I got a cheap acoustic. When I started playing golf, I got a cheap set of irons. When I started killing hookers, I bought cheap hookers. When I started burying them (close call with a dumpster behind a local Wawa) I bought a small lot. 3. Finish the 'unfinished' portion of my basement. It really is in poor taste to take a 'date' to an unfinished apartment in your mother's basement. 4. Remember to turn down mom's hearing aids on 'date' night. I don't want to have this conversation ever again: VI's mom: 'Jesus Christ, VI, what's with that screaming down there, are you killing a hooker?' VI: 'Uh, yeah?' VI's mom: 'Keep it the fuck down, Murder She Wrote is on.' VI mumbling 'Murder She Wrote is always on...' VI's mom: 'WHAT WAS THAT?' VI: 'Ok, mom.' How humiliating.
My New Year's Resolution hopefully will get put before the State Senate and passed. Personal resolution? Do more schoolwork.
Start working out again before I leave for basic training. I've got at least 4 months before I head out. Edit: Quit smoking.
I wrote a new piece on New Year's Resolutions. This one actually has some substance to it, as opposed to my usual self-deprecation as a self-serving device, something you might actually use. Check it out if you have a few minutes: http://shrinktalk.net/?p=541
I'm going to attempt to replace every memory of McDonald's commercials with S&M fantasies involving Jamie Presely, Margaret Thatcher and myself.
I'm going to attempt to refrain from insta-banning people that bring back dead threads with un-funny posts.
