not much to report in the way of daily news. i'll be off work for the next three days, but i'll be busy for at least one of those days, if not all three. tomorrow, which is really just later today after i've slept, i'll have a few errands to take care of, such as going to my friend sage's house to help cut up a tree that fell into her yard during ICE STORM 2007, December model. it's a lot of work but i'll be getting paid and it's pretty good exercise, what with all the ax swinging i'll be doing.
and speaking of exercise, one of my NY resolutions is to do more of that. i realize that most resolutions never get carried out, but i think it has to do with unrealistic goals being set. if one states that one would like to lose weight, that's all fine and dandy. go for it. i mean, can you sit around and just think «lose weight» and it happens? no. you have to do actual things to make it happen. these include consciously choosing to eat healthier and exercise. it takes discipline and willpower.
therefore, i submit to you, reader of this, my new year's resolutions ver. 2008. all of these are exactly as i wrote them on NYE.
Things I Won't Do Most Likely in 2008
eat better; ditch the fast food... except Umberto's.
drink more water; soda is a reward, nothing more. you have a nalgene bottle. use it.
complete a minimum of 20 push ups a day, adding 2 every 2 weeks on mondays.
complete a minimum of 20 crunches a day, adding five every two weeks on mondays.
walk more, like to mom's hous. this will turn into jogging eventually.
SOCIALIZE!!!
save money. this means going to the grocery store to buy groceries. it's cheaper than eating out all the time.
plan for awesome trips like the one you're taking in february.
record some flippin' music, cuz you've got some dynamite material.
write more poetry, short stories.
continue to read. less television.... Colbert Report and such are fine.
you bought an ax. use it! kinda like the nalgene bottle.
be timely in returning borrowed items.
you see. take the exercising section above. i didn't set some arbitrary goal for weight loss. i resolved to do what i know i am capable of doing every day. will i actually commit to it? i don't know. so far, so good. i figure that if i make some efforts to tie some resolutions together, i'll have more of a chance of making them happen. zB, eating better, no fast food, and saving money go hand in hand. if i buy stuff from the store, i can make my own food, make enough to last for days, for about the same cost as one crappy meal from mcdonalds. and it will most likely be healthier. you starting to see how this is all wrapping up into a neat little package, dear reader? hope so.
well, i hope this has been enlightening. that's all for now, but tune in next week, same bat time, same bat channel for another installment of GO GO LAWNMOWER!!!
and maybe i'll use capitals and indent on my next post. not!
