Resolutions

Normally I don’t bother with this. Why set yourself for failure? Still this year, a couple of things occurred to me that would be good to stick with.

Here we go.

• Throw out all the socks that creep under my foot and pool in the bottom of my shoe. I was dealing with that all day today. Every single step that stupid god damned sock slipped further down. It can make a person suicidal.
• For that matter, I’m throwing out all the single socks in my laundry basket that I’ve been holding on to. I keep thinking the other one will show up eventually and I’ll marry them up. Clearly, this is never going to happen. Out with the extra socks.
• I’m going to finish writing the damn book. I’m also going to up my encouragement to Ava until she finishes her book. This is the year.
• I’m either going to stop getting magazines subscriptions or I’m going to read the damn things. I have seven Vanity Fairs piled up around my chair and they make me feel bad about myself. Who has time for that shit?
• No more television shows. Honestly, I can’t adopt anymore shows I HAVE to watch. I have enough already. This may be the hardest of the resolutions to keep. Someone is always coming to me with some new must-see show. I can barely keep up with the ones I love. I’m already behind on Orphan Black, House of Cards, and Orange is the New Black.

There. That ought to keep me busy for a while. Besides the normal stuff like losing weight and other unfulfillable nonsense, what are you going to shoot for this year?
