Explained Absence
Well, as you can see, it's been a fair while since my last confession, er, entry. A lot has happened and I've been a busy little bee. For starters, two major holidays have come and gone accompanied by a delightful visit from my two favorite Texans: my sister and her boyfriend. So, my apologies for not writing since LAST YEAR! Ha-ha-ha. One of the lamest jokes that I don't consider to be beneath me. It was probably one of the best times I've had with my whole family--by a long shot. However, since I'm back in Minneapolis by my lonesome, I'm feeling like something is missing. Of course there is! I hardly see my sister. Lately, it's been two times a year tops. It's high time I do something about it. This entails two options:
1. I need to make more of an effort to visit more.
2. I could throw all caution into the winds and just move my ass down there, so I can be closer to her.
Though this later option seems bold and/or rash, I'm considering it more and more. Why the hell not? I need to get away from here and explore. And as sad (or freeing) it is to come to the realization that I'm not exactly magnetized here by anything anymore, it's very exhilarating. If I think about it, the things I have here may be found somewhere else. Sure, I'll miss it and it will be difficult to move on. Honey, life just ain't that easy all the time.
This being said, I will now write down some of my resolutions for the coming year. Yeah, yeah. I know it's already day two.
The following is a list of all the things I want to do to make my life more me:
(If you see something here that strikes a chord with you, by all means, DO IT TOO!)
1. Please get off your potato-sack ass and lose some weight already. You don't have any more excuses. You've got the time. Eat right. Exercise. Guess what? It isn't going to be easy, but the long-run will prove to be much more satisfying than this mediocre, low self-esteem business. Puh-LEASE! Have you ever felt bad after working out? The meantime may be a hurdle, but afterward is always very pleasant.
2. Stop assuming everybody sucks. Positive attitudes when it comes to meeting someone, or trying new things with people help out immensely. Just imagine people as angry cats. They only reason they try to project their grumpiness onto you is because of any one of the following: a) they are hungry, b) they are tired, c) they've been left in a cage and haven't experience any form of stimulation, d) you're rubbing them the wrong way (closely related to petting a cat too roughly), e) they are simply feral bastards that should be left alone (out of sight, out of mind). Regardless, just be you and embrace the fact that you can't help everyone, but try to get along with the rest of your litter.
3. If you aren't happy with your job, get a new one. That reminds me! Now is a great time to look. Display your talents and diligently look.
4. Try new foods, restaurants and activities. Do more and buy less. Make art and music. Be creative. Make more meals. Eat with friends. Save money. Write more letters. Be involved in your own life. Explore more music--expand my library.
Well. That's all I have for now. There's no doubt that more will be added to this list. Stay tuned for further resolution updates. I just need to give up the ghosts of the past and embrace the new and present.
Here's a song for you to listen to before you go:
