resolutions, of course
2008 is beginning with me surrounded by musicians. This should hopefully be a good thing.

The essence of my resolution for this year is no more mentally checking out. This means I have to stop hiding and procrastinating and saying "what if..." and "why can't I..." and "not right now..." The best way to enforce this is to hang on to the idea like a jawbreaker in my mouth, and just work at it, bit by bit.

Also, 2008 should have:

MORE
-completed sewing projects
-books read
-good job experiences
-ballet lessons
-biking
-exercise
-sexy underwear
-calling people back
-thank you notes
-musical experiences
-going on dates

LESS
-procrastinating
-making messes
-sleeping too late
-focusing on my mortality
-cowardice

-I found a great apartment and moved to Boston
-I started playing bass
-I ripped almost every punk rock CD the library had to offer
-I went to shows
-I saw A Global Threat and The Unseen
-I went to PDX
-I learned new things and read thought-provoking books
-I made friends with bike messengers
-I had great sex
-I made a ton of new friends overall
-I went to good parties
-I sewed nice things
-I felt good more than I felt bad
