I
was telling a friend the other day, no one is reading this thing so why is it
so hard to write on it? What is holding me back? It’s not like I care if anyone
is reading, frankly I’d like to think that you all had better things to do,
(please don’t go!) but it would be nice to know someone was interested in my
thoughts even if they are a jumbled crazy mess sometimes.
Now
I realize that without posting these crazy random thoughts people have the
option of rejecting or embracing my thoughts so that’s where I come in. I need
to post these thoughts and see where the chips fall. You’d think not having an
audience it would be easier to throw random things up on this thing and see
what happens. However it’s not that easy. This blog, writing in general used to be something that made me smile, made me reflective, and yes in some instances cry like a small child. I often wonder what happened.
I don’t want this to be another post where I tell you that more posts are
coming, so I’m not going to go there. What I am going to try to do is strive to
post even when I think they are silly or stupid or jumbled and dumb and force
myself to write something even if it’s only once a month. Cause I’ve gotten
lazy in so many aspects of my life, cleaning seems to be non-existent, there’s
a Christmas present I’ve been meaning to mail since mid Dec still sitting
unwrapped on my floor, and sadly I’ve checked my work e-mail more times on this
holiday than I’d like to admit.
So … here’s my
obligatory New Year’s Resolution post, but instead of calling it that I’m going
to call it things I’d like to change about 2016.
1. I’d like to see more
movies not just say wow that looks good I should go see that then never go see
it. That was on my list last year and it was an EPIC fail but this year I’m
going to really try to make this more of a priority
2. I’d like to spend
more time actually TALKING to Golden not texting. Our different work schedules
haven’t allowed for a 2 or 3 hour gab fest lately and I hope that changes. I
miss our talks, she makes me laugh harder than any human on earth.
3. I’d like to visit
Golden more than once a year, it’s just not enough. I want more farting around
time with her, more fun in our lives. I think we both need it, oh and her
cheeseball. I really really really want a cheeseball. Sure I could make my own
and have on a few occasions but hers are better. If nothing else i'm going to the Damn Zoo this year!!!! Mark it in your calendar! Nothing is going to stand in my way this year! NOTHING!!!!
4. I’d like to lose some
weight, which would require me to be less of a slug. At the end of a long work
day I’m just spent and don’t want to move, and on the weekends I think this is
my only down time so I want to just lay here and do nothing cause Monday will
be here soon !
5. I’d like to exercise
more, even if it’s just walking around the block to clear my head. Again my
issue becomes that by the time I get home it’s 7, then I eat dinner and it’s
late and so I don’t do it. Maybe I can come up with a plan for this. I already
get up at the crack of dawn maybe 30 minutes at the start of my day would be
good, then again 30 more minutes in my bed would be nice too.
6. I’d like work to not
be all consuming of my energy. Last year was INSANE work wise. I won’t bore you
but know I took a total of 4 days off all year and most of that was spent at
DragonCon. I know my boss wants me to take more time and he’s going to try and
make it so that I don’t feel I’m carrying the weight of my dept on my
shoulders, we’ll see how that works out for me. The last 2 weeks haven’t been
any indication of a change but hey it’s a new year and I got a Christmas Bonus
for those efforts so …. Yippie!
7. I want to spend my
money on things that make me smile more. Fun goofy things that I don’t really
need but I want and not feel guilty about it. I work hard and deserve to play
hard too … right?!
8. I want to go to more
concerts/shows/life events this year. I am tired of reading about everyone else
having these epic memories. That also requires me to get out of my comfort zone a bit as the world has become a really scary place.
9. I also hope for more
music from some of my new favorite artist, Maddie and Tae, Haley and Michaels,
The Springs, etc., I’m ready for the world to find out about them cause they are
that good. Maddie and Tae got 2015 but there’s room on my radio for all of
them. Come on Country Music make it happen.
10. Speaking of Haley and
Michaels I want to finish my story that I started a while back, if only cause I
think Shannon and Ryan deserve to get out of that Airport :D That’s a big goal
of mine for the next month or so. Ha!
So
there you have it.
None
of these are really promises or things that will change the world but things I
felt you needed to know. We’ll talk more soon I’m sure, in the meantime have a fantastic
2016 filled with good times and few Butt Slams ... that's right I'm trying to bring that back.
