Spent the first day of 2005 nursing my pickled brain with some ibuprofen and mattress-balling lustful dreams. I also drew up a list of New Years' Resolutions. (Please feel free to share yours here too):
Quit smoking
Finish my novel
Stop biting my nails
Keep boudoir clean all the time so I don't need to do one massive cleanup every 3 months.
Learn French properly (maybe get lessons)
Visit some new places
Complete a TESOL degree
Lay off the alcohol, especially beer/bier/piss.
Conquer Finnegans Wake
Change "look" regularly. Having the money now for a new wardrobe is 9.8.
Grow hair longer than it's ever been
Find one and only true love, or at least 97% perfect girl for me.
Stop being so generous
Stop posting my shitty poetry on SG. Noone reads it anyway.
Discover and fall in love with at least 5 new bands. Must make life-changing music.
Listen to more klezmer, 20th Century classical
Cease forcing Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band on unwilling (and ignorant!) listeners.
Visit my mother's grave and try to cry.
Lose some pounds (difficult, 'cause quitting smoking. Will have to counter with exercise. Fuck.)
Have more sex.
See my family more.
Try to avoid situations or scenarios that will ineluctably lead to thoughts of suicide.
Celebrate a year off the Zoloft by getting stoned and listening to quebec by Ween on February 10.
Talk to more strangers. Especially beautiful ones.
