Happy 2012!

Happy New Year, blog! It's been a while, hasn't it. It's because, well, I'm just prioritizing differently these days. You know, with...uhh...other things that are more fun than forced writing. I guess it isn't really forced, or anything. Whatever. I did something.

Perhaps this is my "I'm going to be healthy!" resolution. I also made one of those this year, but a bit different. We'll see how things go.

Anyway, way to go, Internet. Another year or not destroying the world. HIGH FIVES.

Why Hello There

Why hello there, 2011. No, please, you’re not imposing on anything at all. You see, 2010 and I are just friends. Well, we were friends. We met about a year ago, and we both had such high expectations for each other. I thought 2010 would be the one, the final piece to the puzzle. Everything started so smoothly for the two of us – nothing but smiles and sunshine all over the place. But as you can expect no romance is free of drama, and well, recently we began to grow apart. I feel like I changed, hopefully for the better, but I am not quite sure, really.

You, baby, you’re totally different. I just have this good feeling about you. Yes, I know we just met, but sometimes you just know when something feels right. Awww, come back darling, I didn’t mean to scare you off; I just got caught up in the moment. So why don’t you come over here, next to me on the couch, and we can get to know each other a little better.

Can I get you anything? Some tea? Something to eat? Perhaps a hug? No, ok, just wanted to offer – if you change your mind let me know.

You know what, rather than any forced conversation, let’s just spend what precious time we have together right now and see what happens; no plans, no timeline, no expectations. Great, I’m glad you like this plan and I too am excited to be a part of it. I’m looking forward to our little adventure, wherever it may take us….

Happy New Year Everyone.

Happy New Year!

2008, you sucked. (Well, not entirely. As a devoted Illini fan there is no conceivable way that I could say any year involving a trip to the Rose Bowl is anything short of awesome. ) But one thing I've never understood is the concept of a New Years resolution. I mean, if you know of something that you'd like to change about yourself to make yourself a better and happier person, why wait until once a year to make amends? With that said, I've got a few things that I am resolving to take care of in the new year:

1) Getting better at poker. I am really going to try to practice this year so I'm no longer the laughingstock of the Foster Tuesday Night Poker Club. This is going to happen. You just wait.

2) Read more. I'm almost done with one book (Freakonomics, which I embarrassingly admit I have not read yet.) There are many books that I've had on the proverbial "To Read" list, and this year I vow to get to them. I will even chronicle them here with reviews and such. Interactive!

3) GYM! This is every one's goal, but the whole marathon thing was rather intoxicating. So this year we've got the Shamrock Shuffle, the Sprint Triathlon, and the Half Marathon on the docket. Call me Forrest, but I like running.

4) PHISH CONCERTS. I'm going to them. Sounds strange, but if you've been to one, you'd understand.

5) Be a little more consistent with the whole blogging thing. I'm just too lazy to do a lazy man's job, but this is going to change. I'm taking my laziness to the next level and entering the draft.

So there you go. Hypocrisy and and useless information about me all in one post.
