We're arm in arm with that foxy new thing, Miss Twen Ten. I have never made a New Year's resolution before. However, since my day-to-day has already been in a transitive state for the last three or four months, it seems like good timing for some resolvoluting...ness...itude.
1.) Continue losing weight in order to reach my goal.
As of weigh-in this morning, I have dropped forty pounds of un-sexy since mid-October. I intend to vaporize another sixty in my quest to become the sexiest man walking the face of the planet, or perhaps any planet. This one is less a resolution than it is the encouragement of a firm slap on the ass.
2.) Make strong progress on finishing my degree.
I am almost thirty. I no longer have an excuse. Being shiftless and of no account as a mid-twenty-something is somewhat charming. Working a job where you wear a name tag when your age begins with three (or more) is depressing. I will piss into the wind, professionally, and drown myself in debt to complete this task. Debt is a monster you can hack into pieces. A professional rut is Sisyphus and the boulder all over again.
3.) Become more complete emotionally.
The failure of my engagement has thrown the harsh white light of day onto some tumors seething on my personality. Dishonesty comes in lots of forms; being afraid of the truth is a less sinister lie, but the slow decay it breathes into your life is just as damaging. I will put my fears in check. I will find healthy outlets for my negative emotions. I will invest more heavily in living ethically, with empathy, with kindness, and with philosophy.
4.) Enjoy the experience of being single while creating something of value to offer someone else.
Yes, I wish I was getting sloppy, sloppy beejes. One right now would be lovely, as a point of fact. I will keep my heart open to the possibility of meeting someone, but I will no longer allow loneliness or insecurity to hold me hostage to be ransomed by poor decisions. I will take advantage and do crazy shit. I will become comfortable with being alone, I will use this free time constructively, and maybe at this point next year I'll have joyous, drunken lips assaulting me as the ball drops.
Those are my actual resolutions. I also have some superficial wants or more unrealistic goals that I'm keeping mind for this year. If these things don't occur, I'd be less upset.
1.) Place highly at a major tournament, and travel more.
It's somewhat silly of me to spend so much time playing Street Fighter and not actually see results. I will put in the training mode time to get my muscle memory on lock down. This year, I will travel to SoCal for at least three tournies. I won't talk myself out of attending EVO. Maybe we'll spend a week grinding competition in Japan during the summer.
2.) Continue to develop my voice. Join a band.
Yeah... what can I say.
3.) Visit Akihibara.
This is just my concession to my geek side. (omg desu)

Totally awesome resolutions. Mine were not as awesome but I figure if I dwell in mediocrity it will be easier to accept the failure. Meh.
