Resolutions
Normally I think New Years Resolutions are worth about as much as wankel rotary engines for sea urchins, but this has been an interesting year. I've literally had the worst moment in my life, followed almost exactly five months later with the best moment in my life. All told, I've had an awesome year, and there are some things I've learned.
First of all, I'm not gonna take people for granted. And by "people", I mean anyone. Really, it doesn't take that much time or effort to pick up the phone and call someone. It doesn't take anything away from me to give people some of my time. It's not like I'm doing anything important anyway. Well, except for organizing my collection of Richard Dreyfuss commemorative plates.
I've also learned how to relax a little over the course of the past year. Some of that has come from increased confidence in myself and my relationships, and some of it has been learned. Sometimes I just need to relax and I've taught myself how to do that. Sometimes a banana really IS just a banana. Anna.
This is the year that I actually join a gym. You know those people who go to the big building with the shiny machines and do weird things with their bodies on them? Yeah, that'll be me pretty soon. I'm going to buy myself a nice towel and resign myself to hurting myself in new and exciting ways.
I'm also going to learn how to swing dance. Seriously. I've never danced in my life (well, except for that time with Jimmy Durante and Carmen Miranda and that guy with the fiddle on the roof, but I may possibly have dreamed that), and I figure I'll just jump right in with jumping and jiving and throwing ladies around.
Scotland is on the map this year as well. The Girl and I will make the trek across the Atlantic and spend some time on a cold, windy island with my dad, his wife, and Alfie the dog. I'm not kidding about the wind, by the way. Apparently my dad has a shed that's moved several feet in the last few days. They're SERIOUS about their weather over there.
Finally, I'm just going to keep being me. I'm going to make sure the people I care about know that I care about them. And I'm going to work on getting the Bee Gees back together.
Nothing like a little challenge to start things off right, eh?

I'm a big fan of gyms. There's nothing quite like experiencing pain in random muscles that you didn't know existed and getting massive carb munchies in the days immediately following a harsh workout. I myself have been busily inhaling every piece of bread, candy, and chocolate in my kitchen after joining a new gym recently.
