Resolutions

Hey homies,

So it's 2014 now as I'm sure you know. How was your New Year's Eve? Mine consisted of playing Mario Kart with the bf and him falling asleep at 11:30 haha that's fine with me. I'm over the whole party thing I think. Every time I go to the bar now I feel like my mom. For instance, I start saying things like "why's it so hot in here?" or "it's so crowded, I need some space!" So I skipped that New Year's Eve tradition I guess. Another one I skipped was making a New Year's resolution. Well I told PattyCake that I wanted to drink more water but I didn't really make a life changing, hopeful promise to myself that I would do better this year. I'm starting to think that I'm really the best I can be. I mean if something is perfect you don't go changing anything right?

So for this post I started to think of all the things I really could've made my resolution. Even though I say I'm all that and a bag of potato chips I don't really mean it (I try not to eat potato chips; they make me break out). So this is a list of all the things I should probably start doing but am 99.99% likely not to:

1. Stop eating Wendy's. Nope. Not happening. I'd marry Wendy if I met her. And I am not keen on gingers. I just love my JBCs.

2. Play my guitar more often. I went to this job fair in grade 10 or 11 and told everyone there I was being a rockstar when I grew up. I should get that attitude back.

3. Use the lotion I bought in October. You walk into Bath and Body Works once and come out with ten years worth of body lotion and I have only used like 20mls. What a waste.

4. Smile more often. I feel like I look like a dweeb when I smile. You know those girls who just have a beautiful smile and it like lights up the room? Yeah, I don't have one of those. I just have a weird smile. No one has ever complimented my smile :( I wonder if there's somewhere where they teach you how to smile nicely.

5. Make friends. I still haven't really made any friends at college. I got along really well with the people in one of my group projects but we have no classes together now and I don't want to be that one that's in a group once and can't let go.

6. Stop being obsessed with The Little Mermaid. I say this because I just went to Walmart for a binder, razors and a new pillow and came home with Little Mermaid sheets and no binder. But I am so excited to put them on my bed. Like this is the best part of my week.

7. Blog more often. I really have no excuse. I can't even say I have no material because really the voices in my head make everyday entertaining. It's really just pure laziness.

8. Actually write the posts I promise to write. I keep doing this to you guys where I'm like 'yeah next post will include this' or something along those lines and I never follow through. Sorry, I'm human and I'm 97% sure only my mom reads this blog and I tell her all those stories anyways.

9. Drink more water. I seriously go like all day without drinking anything. And then when I get home I have maybe two drinks which isn't close to enough. Especially considering it's usually a coke and a glass of milk.

10. Stop thinking of sharks while swimming. Me and the roomie watched Soul Surfer like two months ago and the last time I went for a swim in our condo's pool I, of course, started to think of it. That was a quick dip for sure.

11. Stop imagining I'm in The Shining while walking to the condo's pool. Okay I have to explain this one a bit. Our condo is made up of multiple hallways with doors at each end and the pool is on the other side of the building from our apartment so I have to walk through almost like a hamster maze to get there. And it's always creepily quiet and then when you do get to the pool it is also quiet as fuck and all you can hear are the pipes in the mechanical room. At least that's what I tell myself the noises are. Maybe it's the shark sleeping.

12. Stop breaking stuff in my car. I now have broken remote start, only defrost setting and a broken headlight. I have no idea why the remote start isn't working. I broke the vent setting thing. It was frozen but I thought it was just being stubborn so I twisted it really hard and snapped something inside. I think my dad broke my headlight. I thought it was just burnt out so I bought new bulbs and he was changing it for me and broke off some piece and it's still not working so he says its probably a connection problem that is not his fault. Thanks a lot, Dad.

Well I think that should be good for this year. I'm not even gonna waste time writing that I'll be working out because we all know that ain't gonna happen. I am still taking the stairs everyday and have one class two buildings away from all my other classes so all that hiking is my workout.

I hope you guys have a great year and haven't given up on your resolutions already!

And look at me, I'm not even gonna tell you what I'll write about next time. One thing down!

May the Force be with you,

RockAwesome
