i didn't make any resolutions...

...but I'm going to post here at least twice a month. Keep me accountable. You may slap me without warning if I forget.

I like writing here, but feel compelled to have something to write about, so therefore i more often than not simply don't. I probably just need to be more observant.

I'm not sure they're resolutions, but here are some hopes/plans/dreams/desires for the coming year:
  1. I want to try to branch out socially this year. To really get to know at least two people that I now don't. Preferably, someone not in the little Christian Church bubble I exist in now. (this sounds negative, but it's not meant this way; i love my bubble, but i think that's part of the problem)
  2. I only read one novel last year - this MUST change.
  3. I have been quite upset at my own selfishness and self-centeredness. I seem to have become more-so in the past year or two, it should be the other way around, my sanctification progress seems to have slowed down and even gone backward in some areas. I see so much self and so little Christ in me at times. This really bugs me, yet I don't do much about it. THIS MUST CHANGE. Those of you who pray; remember me in this if you don't mind.
  4. Sleep more and watch Hulu/Netflix less - there is a strong correlation between the two.

i'm hungry, so i'm going to go get something to eat

Alright, if I don't see a post here in the next 4 weeks...

Also, a novel or two is always a good idea. I think I've got 6 going right now. My resolution should be to finish one damned book before I start another (or 20).

As to your third point, I will borrow from the Dalai Lama "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion."

Sounds like you made resolutions.

Why are you so against them, anyway? There's your next blog topic.

i don't have anything against them, they just feel a little too official i guess.
