Starting the Year (Right?)

It's been a long time, hasn't it? I don't know what it was about this last year, I just lost my blogging spirit. There was a time where if I didn't blog for two or three days straight, something was seriously wrong!

But hey, it's a new year, maybe time to start the habit again? We'll see if I can muster the dedication for it.

New Years was incredible. Well, New Years was fun, but it was really the days surrounding it that were the best. It's been so long since I've seen the whole crew at once, together. It may me realize what the missing piece in my life had been for the last couple of years since leaving the UC. Not that I'm not surviving without it, but it was such a huge part of my life before and having that back again, well, it felt just like we picked up where we'd left off. And it was awesome!

By the way, this:I do not remember. When did 24 hat jam happen?? Was it after the beer-chased whiskey? After I lost my cup and could not stop worrying about it? Who knows.

Anyways! New Years resolutions. Yes. I need some of those. How many can I have? I feel like maybe if I make more there's a larger chance I'll keep one of them.

Here we go:

• Work out at least 4 times a week (even during the school year! No excuses!)
• Get up when the alarm goes off. Not one hour later.
• Actually cook every once in awhile. Prepackaged, frozen foods are really bad for you.
• Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks about me, and just do/say what I want to. I get to worried about sounding stupid (as I often do) and ended up not saying anything...or talking so fast no one can understand me, in which case I end up feeling stupid too.
• Maybe get a date! It would be pretty sad if I went through all of college with only two dates and a drunken make out with an annoying chick. I have trust issues and its time to get over them!
• Get over my trust issues. That's a large part of the problem of the two above resolutions and why I tend to keep even my closest friends at an arms length (emotionally and socially...not physically).
• Work on making the whole getting into the game design industry thing happen. I'm already doing pretty good at this, but it never hurts to try and go the extra mile.
• Relax.
  

That seems like a pretty good list. I have to be able to fulfill at least one of those. It looks like I might be living with new room mates this upcoming year too, so I'm making it a goal to solve a lot of these problems with a new surrounding.

Well, that's about all I've got for right now. If I don't blog again within a week, I expect one of you to yell at me!

Here's to 2008!

P.S. you'll note above, no more mustache. This will make some of you very happy. A new year, new facial hair!
