A New Year
OK OK...you guys can stop with all the harassing emails because I've decided to get back into the swing of things and join the virtual world again. I can hardly believe we're in the middle of January already.
But anyway, what should I talk about in my first post of the New Year? I’ve written a couple blog posts to welcome in new years of the past…and, I guess, this year will be no exception. The New Year is upon us and it’s time for a fresh start and a new beginning. Thank goodness for that...everyone needs a chance at a fresh start and a new beginning.
I’ve been thinking about this new year…and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna completely suck. We're only two weeks into the New Year, and I can't say things are off to the best start...I've been super busy with work these last couple of weeks (I absolutely hate meetings), I've been in the midst of trying to deal with some personal drama (mainly Dave being a complete asshole), and I'm also sensing an impending doom looming in the distance that has the darkness closing in on me (March is getting closer and closer by the minute). Yeah, I know, my New Years is off to a great start, don't you think? :-/
To try to circumvent the potential suckiness of this year, I have a couple resolutions that I will be working on this year:
1. I want to travel more. This has been on my list for the past couple years and it has done wonders for my well-being and happiness. I love going to new places, trying new foods and experiencing new things. I also love having a reason to get away from the daily grind and have something to look forward to. Some of the best memories I have are whilst being on vacation, so I need to be able to do some more traveling this year. Any takers out there...?
2. I need to save money...in the general aspect of my day to day life. I know this seems like a contradictory statement to my first resolution...but it just sounds like something I should work on. I'll work on bringing my lunch to work more often...that'll save me money during the course of the week and also give me time during lunch to hit the gym. Wow, that's two resolutions in one.
3. I need to remove all the negative influences in my life. There are times when I find myself surrounded by negative comments, negative energy...and just negative chirping noises on a day to day basis...and to tell you the truth, it's super draining and exhausting to deal with...so I just don't want to deal with that anymore. So just be warned, I will be completely and totally honest when need be and I will have no problem telling you to shut the hell up and leave me alone.
4. I need to cut down on the swearing. This is a resolution that winds up on my list almost every year...and, fuck, as you can tell...it's something that I still need to work on. With more of my friends having kids and me being around kids more often, I really need to watch what I say...and as hard as that may be, I will continue to try.
5. And last but not least...I will try not to die this year. With March around the corner and my mid-life crisis in full swing, I think it's a pretty good resolution and totally speaks for itself.
So…with all that being said, where does that leave me in the New Year? …to be honest, I don’t really know...and all I'm left with is the hope that I'm proven wrong and this year won't completely suck.
