Actually, I don’t believe in any of that apocalyptic end of the world 2012 crap. Call me what you will, there’s an apocalypse survivor’s club party at my house on the 22nd of December this year.
Crazies like this asswipe will not be welcomed nor are they invited.
There’s a lot I want to get accomplished this year, not the least of which is try to discipline myself to keep this blog going. I really dropped the ball on it last year, and I think that even though nobody really reads it, I should still try to train myself to come here and post regularly if for no reason other than to get the writing practice, and maybe to vent a little from time to time.
I’m going to get myself back in school (part of this task is already complete) and try to get our family into a more tenable financial position this year.
I also know everyone and their brother swear to try to get themselves more in shape and lost some weight every new year, but I actually mean it. As I stare down the cocked and loaded barrel of my 35th year on this planet I’ve come to realize that I’d like to be around at least another 35 more, and I’d like to be healthier than I am now, all of which means I need to stop eating garbage, lay off the soda, and actually put some effort into this. A few years ago I was driven to lose weight and I managed to lose 35 pounds in a month. Probably not the healthiest overall thing I’ve ever done but it proved a point, and that point is that it can be done. And as much of a struggle as it was, it taught me that like any other struggle, with effort there WILL be results. The key here is effort. This is the key to all of the goals I’ve laid out this year and to others I’ve not yet mentioned. Unlike years past, I resolve but one thing: to exert the effort this year to realize as many of my past resolutions as I can.
A few other things I want to do this year:
- Finally write my novel.
- Get back into photography.
- Start the podcast I’ve been thinking of forever.
- Read more.
Just as I’m going to say on the morning of December 22nd when aliens don’t invade, Planet X doesn’t show up, and the Earth doesn’t descend into Armageddon: Let’s get this party started!
