Cause I’m proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of
myself and the loner I’ve become. You’re free to whine. It will not get
you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar, proud of my life and the
things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I’ve become.
You’re free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car
and my guitar.
Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved. I spend
hours in front of the mirror making my hair elegantly disheveled. I
worry about how this album will sell because I believe it will
determine the amount of SEX I will have in the future. I self-medicate
with drugs and alcohol to help treat my extreme social anxiety problem.
You are a FAKER! ADMIT IT!You are a FRAUD!ADMIT IT! You’re living a
LIE! your life is living a lie! You don’t impress me! ADMIT IT! You
don’t intimidate me! ADMIT IT! Why don’t you bow down, get on the
ground, walk this fucking plank!
~Admit It – Say Anything …
Great song. Great band too! It takes a little while to get used of it, but being a lyrics guy I really like their music.
So! News. Lots of it I suppose, but nothing really, weird I know. I still don’t think you’ve taken my inability to write complete sentences last week seriously, although it’s a serious issue! If it carries over through today’s post I apologies in advance, or if my CApSlOCk gets stuck in a few places, again I apologies. I’m not sure what it is really, it’s not writers block that’s for sure. I could probably write a whole book since the new year started, I’m not sure what it is. It’s just some weird funk i’m in.
I’ve started my new years resolutions, and I’ve slowly introduced them into my regular routine, one by one. I didn’t officially have a “New Years Resolution” post, so, I figure today would be it.
Blogging. One of my new years resolution was to blog a bit more. Not so much in essay format like I did somewhat during NaBloPoMo, but just day to day ramblings and rantings like I did previously in years past. Monday-Thursdays, sometimes Fridays. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll get into it a bit more, but now my goal is to blog during my lunch hour. Again, we’ll see how it goes. Why only during my lunch hour you ask?
Savings. Normally during my lunch hours I’d, well, I’d go to lunch. My little break from the office. I think everybody in the office(including myself) can see the effects of eating out daily has on a person, not only physically but financially too. So, I’ll be bringing my lunch into the office in an effort to save more. Furthermore, my goal is to save at least 500$ a month for this coming year, which totals $6K in the bank, and oh yea, compounded interest daily to add to that chunk of change. It’s completely possible, and I know I can do it. It means no more wasteful spending at Wal-Mart. It means telling myself that I don’t need the super deluxe directors cut version of Predator when I can get the regular version for 3.99 off amazon. Heck, it means living without the regular version too even! I’ve always lived within my means, but I really want to retire early. I really want to have a great life touring the globe when my days of work are over. I really want to have a nice home on the coast somewhere, sipping on my home-made margaritas or touring the US in an RV. I don’t know, I haven’t decided, but I do know that I can’t get there if I keep going on with wasteful spending. Pay yourself first. Something I’ve yet to do in my life … something that I should do while I’m still young. The older kc would appreciate it I’m sure.
Of course, by me saving 500$ a month, it would also allow me to save up for a nice deposit on a new vehicle, and it would allow me to mimic having a car payment without actually having one. If I can prove to myself that I can do that for a while before having a car payment, then realizing I can’t afford it, the better.
Hibernation. It always happens. Every new year millions of Americans want to get fit and lose weight … ect. For me it’s never been about that, although the past few years I’ve gained a considerable amount of weight. During the summer months I ride my bike religiously, 10 … 20 … 30 miles a day, and during the summer I feel great, I lose a ton of weight only to gain it all back during the winter months. No more hibernation. I’ve been doing my Tae-Bo(Total Awareness Excellence Body Obedience, I guess I should be obedient.) now for a good month and I do feel really good. I took a week off due to working late nights, but there is no excuse, so I’m starting over on a clean slate and so far so good.
My Bucket List. This isn’t so much a new years resolution as it is just an overall goal. A goal I might add that I’ve been rather successful at in the past that I wish to continue on. I know there is a movie about this(things to do before kicking the bucket), but essentially, what it means to me is to have a list of things to do, on a year to year basis. Things that I can mark off and say, “I’ve done that”. A few things leftover from last year just to give you an idea:
- See every sporting event again here in Denver.
- Climb two category 5 hills in a row(last year I only was able to climb one)
- 50 Miles on my bike in one day(Over 1K total for the season).
- Go camping at least once a month, go for a hike every other weekend. Last year I was only able to go camping two or three times due to some “unforseen” circumstances and I ran out of places to go, this year I bought books!
- Have a beer on the top of Pikes Peek.
- Take a photography class.
- Continue to learn Spanish.
- Eat at a new restaurant at least once a month. Someplace I’ve never been before.
- Learn to ski/snowboard for the summer months.
- … more to come.
Actually, a ton more to come, those were just some that I had written in my notebook. Yes, I carry a notebook, my memory is bad. Ask me about it sometime …
Just let go. Maybe I need another hypnosis session, but I’d like to just let go. Not be so tense and agitated all the time. I’m still ticked off at the theif, that stole my laptop. Grrr…. One would think I’d be over it by now, but I’m not. My nail biting too. It’s been almost two full weeks and I can honestly say I haven’t chewed on my fingernails, however the other day I somewhat cheated and used my nails to pick at my other nails. I have no idea why I do it either … *sigh*. I dunno, just let go. Probably one of the harder goals I have for this year. We’ll see …
We’ll see … I say that too much. That and anyways … Grrrr. Perhaps I should have a goal just about opening up a dictionary and learning more conjunctive words.? I dunno …
Anyways … haha. Damn. Until tommrow? We’ll see …
…. Grrrr ….

And no,that’s not my list, because I’m sure my list would be as simple as “everything”. Although that wouldn’t be too fun so I’m coming up with more of a list in greater detail. I’ll email it to you when it’s completed. Or you may just have to visit me to pick it up …

So, is that your list then or do you have another? Funny thing, I was wanting a new car and was thinking of doing the same thing…pretend car payments. You’re so clever!!!
