It’s here! 2009! Finally! Hope you had a safe and prosperous holiday season (meaning I hope ya got a lot of cool stuff). So NOW the question becomes…what about this brand new year? Are you going to do anything different this year? YOU know…any resolutions?
Well I can think of a couple that I want to work on, and here they are (in no particular order):
1. Clean the Zoo office. It is an absolute MESS, no kidding! Right now I’m sitting in a pile that includes (no kidding) the following items: old balloons, a hockey stick, a jar of some liquid that I THINK used to be tea (but I don’t know what it is anymore), a golf club, a traffic pylon, a giant inflatable bottle of corona, a drum set, and now xmas lights. Yes. it’s a bizarre mess indeed.
2. Help other people more. I think this is a big one. I think I tend to take care of one person mostly-myself. But I’m in the position now where I can really help others, and I’d like to force myself to volunteer, even if it’s once a month, to help others. I need to do it.
3. Dress it up a little. I’ve been making a concerted effort when I go out to NOT just do the “jeans, t-shirt, and hat” thing as much. The theme of 09 is “dress it up a little”. After all, I’m single again, and I need all the help I can GET, ya know? Which brings me to…
4. Find HER. Boy, if there was one lesson I learned in the past year it’s THIS: sometimes you have to be involved with something you DON’T want, to find out what you really DO want. I don’t think I have to get into it any further, but let’s just say I’m very clear now on what I DO want in a girlfriend, and definitely what I DON’T!!
5. No More Drama. I think I make this one for myself EVERY year, and by the end of the year I always have it in my life. So I will be wiser and smarter this year, and let my head do more of the thinking than anything else, and hope for the best!
Those are MY resolutions. What are YOURS?
