The typical Atypical New Year Resolution Blog

As promised I decided that I would make the attempt to start writing again on a regular basis. This of course would imply that some people other than myself feel that I have any talent to do such. Well other than family I personally I still do not believe people really care what I might have to say. I guess as I pour the contents of my brain to the this electronic piece of paper I will see what kind of reaction I get, if any at all.




So now to the Resolution part of this message. It is not so much one thing but a series of changes that I selfishly wish to change about myself.



1. Last year for six weeks I worked my ass off, ate well, and lost about 22 pounds. Of course I got lazy again, work got really busy, and I put the weight back on for the most part. I felt better, I looked better, for the most part I was happy. So why not doing something the is so obviously easy to change? Dunno maybe because I am stubborn, hard head person like everyone else in my life and family. Oh yeah you know who you are. So back to the 72oz of water a day, the Iced tea, reasonable food intake, and of course being more active.



2. This leads to the next resolution /cry no more pop, soda, whatever. Well a revision, 1 liter a week. which is a little less than 3- 12oz cans of pop a week. Baby Steps ....Baby Steps. Next no fast food. Easy as pie.



3. I plan not to learn just one language but two. Arabic and French. Why? Because I can.



4. I got a camera for Christmas and I intend to use it as source of writing material as well as a photographic medium. So sometimes there will be a photo that will accompany with written material. As a rule for myself one photo per post. Rejects, extra, and other I will post up on flicker or photobucket. I am not sure just yet.



5. I am going to write! Short, long, poems, songs (although I have never written one gonna try)



6. In some sense I have become my Grandfather. I remember as a kid whenever we went to see my mom's parents her father he would always be upstairs away from the craziness of the family. I have done the same. I have closed myself away from the world, my life, and my family. As much as I like the solitude, there is more of the world I want to see and it starts by leaving this room and seeing it again.



7. Lastly just two classes to finish the degree. If I ever use it or not I want to finish it.



And that is it. Lets see where this year takes me.
