I only really have one New Years resolution, as every other resolution I would make is in some way related to this one: I hearby resolve to be less of a fuck-up.
If I play the hand the way it should be played, this year should tear the ass off of last year, and make a lampshade out of it.
I lose my brother to the Bay Area in a few weeks. So the roles switch, except something tells me his tenure there will be longer than mine. I will go back there someday. Who knows when, but when I visited a few months back, I realized that me and the city have not yet finished our dance.
People in the business world are nice, but I feel like I'm on a totally different wave than most of them. Case in point: a woman I work with was not just surprised, but shocked, that I hadn't bothered to see "I, Robot." She was also baffled when I couldn't stop singing "Transmission" by Joy Division. Not baffled that I couldn't stop singing it, but baffled because she didn't think the song existed. She thought I was just making up words and singing them to my own made up tune. She's been married for like 6 years and is 28. She makes those "marriage" jokes that one only really identifies with when they are married and bor(ed)(ing). Nice enough, but we're not the same species. The ringtone on her phone is "Clocks" by Coldplay.
Is it that obvious? Can you see it in my eyes or hear it in my voice or something? I thought I had my poker face down pretty well. Well, shows what I know.
I'm sorry I adjusted my nuts in front of you. It was uncouth and disgusting. I should really stop being so unapologetic about being a slovenly fellow.
