Resolutions I can KEEP!
If you know me, I’m not a fan of the New Year’s resolution phase that seems to be popular. People almost always NEVER stick to them. I know I don’t. Last year, I made a resolution to work out more. This year, I don’t think I’ve eaten more pizzas than any other year of my life.
So, this year, I’ve chosen to make resolutions that I’ll want to keep. And it won’t be a horrible one like “exercise more” or “lose more weight”. I drink heavily and I like food. I can’t think of eating and drinking in moderation if the world is going to be in 2012, dammit! No way in hell am I gonna burden myself with that. Plus, I just got 14 boxes of Dunkaroos. Each one looks delicious.
The Angry Therapist suggests not to make resolutions ever. However, the good thing about therapists is that you can totally ignore whatever they say if you want to! Don’t get me wrong, I still love the guy. He writes amazing stuff. Follow him if you don’t already.
So, here’s a new list of resolutions for 2012!
- Read more. The one thing I need to exercise more is my imagination.
- Write more. I’m not good at it, but I enjoy it. This allows applies to songwriting.
- Photobomb as many pictures as possible. I don’t need to explain why this is a good resolution (stole it from my cousin).
- Have one home-cooked meal at least once a week. Saves money AND girls will think I’m attractive for knowing how to cook! DOUBLE WIN!
- Step on more crunchy leaves. I didn’t step on enough this year, and I am ashamed.
- Travel more. Vegas does not count, people. I’m talkin’ Singapore, Spain, Malaysia, Brazil, etc. Places with culture.
- Have at least 2 tailored suits by the end of the year (or when the World ends; whichever comes first).
- Find more friends who actually want to travel. An experienced traveler is always a good friend.
- Attempt to like basketball. Watching, not playing. Allen Mark, I rely on you for this one, buddy.
- Pet a dog driving a car. Which will be hard if both of us are driving at the same time.
- Perform at a cafe. But I won’t tell anyone when and where. Then they won’t be able to say, “Remember that time Dan played Baby Got Back acoustically and he started crying because he couldn’t remember the words?”
- Use this bullet point format on tumblr more often. It’s so organized and cool!
Well, I already know I’ll fail to keep 12 of these resolutions, but it’s worth a shot. Right?
