new years resolutions or lying to yourself.

okay i've been gone for awhile. i'd like to tell you that i've been on the beach surfing my ass off in bali like i did last xmas but alas this time i was working um working some more and then wall papering, painting and drinking; thankfully i did manage not to eat much. thank god that most people in my family cook like crap - not too tempted. The painting etc. is my debt payment to a century old house i love and own but the rooms just never seem to end. i now understand the 600 square foot condo; less work.
anyway now it's that time of year to decide what the hell i'm supposed to do to better myself or the world around me. i asked my father what his resolution was and he said, 'to smoke more' uh huh. his theory is that you should pick something you can really commit to. I can see his logic. so here are my amended new years resolutions and ones i plan to keep.
Resolution One: Have no big goal; so i've decided that this year i will not get a book published instead i will just write because i like to and screw the goals and aspirations of the A types. I'm going to do writing for writings sake and my own. it's a key part to maintaining my mental stability; that and running.
Resolution Two: I will not work because i love my work and am passionate about it, i will work because i like money or really i like the things money can get me. I will be honest about it.
Resolution Three: I plan to wear dresses and high heels more often. Why? i'm tired of always wearing jeans. That and there's just something sexy about heels. They change the way you view the world.
Resolution Four; I could put here to work out five days a week, but i've been doing that for years, it's not worth putting down. but when i woke this morning for my run at 5:15am and it was minus 20 I was tempted to put moving back to hot place as my first resolution.
Resolution Five; I'm so tired of people getting advice from everyone about everything. if you're relationship is in the crapper buy a dr phil book, if you need to see the light, buy the secret. when did the entire popuiation become such a weird, empty pack of lemmings that seems to need to ask everyone else for advice. So my resolution is to answer and solve my own problems. I don't need an expert. i know my life better than anyone. I actually do know best.

okay i'm bored with resolutions i still think the real beginning of the year is september. so here's some advice if you want to start the new year cutting a new path through the urban jungle.

1. eating too much makes you fat.
2. dating people who are way uglier than you are never works out in the end - and vice versa.
3. If you never exercise and eat crap you'll look like crap.
4. if you have debt, stop buying things.
5. if you need more money earn more.
6. spend some time in the sun each day.

grounding breaking advice huh? Have a good start to 2008!
