New Year's Resolutions...

Okay, so it is January 26, 2010 and it is time to either throw my New Year's Resolutions in the sack, or into gear. I suppose I'm going to try first gear until I need to reverse and ask myself "What was I thinking?" Though the past year was pretty great and what not with falling in love, graduating and moving to a new place, Austin, Texas... it didn't end so well. I spent the latter half of the year jobless and miserable, and though Christmas was great, I had an unexpected turn of event's with the love of my life's mother in the hospital. Spending New Year's in the UAB Hospital Marriott, with gas station champagne definitely wasn't on my list of things I wanted to do, but that's life and the night ended up being pretty great because I was with the ones I love, so no complaints here. Enough about what has happened and onto what is going to happen. So the next day, New Year's Day, came along and I decided that 2010 was a new decade, and a good time for new beginnings. So I did what anyone would do on the first day of the new year... eat Guthrie's Golden Fried Chicken Fingers. What else better to eat while contemplating losing weight this new year? So along with the usual resolutions; lose weight and tone up, stop eating french fries (too late), and find a job... I figured out that not talking to my friends has had a real negative impact on my life. My friends and I have always been there for each other, and who was I to let graduating, marriage, kids, and relocation change that? Therefore, my resolution, along with all that other crap, is to stay better in touch with the ones I love. I began debating on how to do this and thought to myself..."Do I take 1898237485 hours a week to speak to everyone individually on the phone?" That actually wasn't a problem for me since I am "seeking new career opportunities," but then I thought, "well, everyone has a life except for me..." so I went ahead and crossed that off the list. Greeting cards were getting pricey, Facebook was losing it's luster, and I can't possibly tell everyone what is going on in my life in 140 characters or less on Twitter; so my next available option was e-mail. After this thought process, another process came along and I asked myself..."Does anyone even care about what's going on in my life?" So I did what anyone would do with access to Facebook and Twitter... I took a poll. I feel as though I got some pretty good feedback, and a great idea of starting a blog and I'm going to give it a go...Keys in the ignition and I'm changing gears folks! Expect the Season 1 Pilot to premiere in February 2010... Chinese New Year- Duh.
