New Year's Resolutions of My Own

I've been meaning to mess around with the appearance of my blog for a while now, though I've just been too busy (lazy) to do anything about it. I mean with a new year and all, change should be a good thing right? Well, I wish everything could change for the better and not otherwise. Then again, that would be a perfect world now wouldn't it?

Chalk it up to having too much free time on my hands, but I gotta admit that I've been thinking. Yes, as common as that might sound, I do tend to think and think for hours on end if at all possible. The most prevalent thought in my mind has been quite simple, which is a little surprising to me.

What will I do this year to improve? Not just myself, but maybe just everything? What can I do for myself that will take me in the right direction and not down the hole again.

Although it isn't likely to improve myself to any great extent, I believe this year is the year I shall write and finally finish a story. I don't care if it never sees the light of day or makes me a million (or more) dollars. I just need to get one done that I can personally feel proud of. God, that would be a huge mountain in itself.

I've been trying to accomplish this task for a number of years now and each passing year seems to make it just that much harder for me. Still, I do have a certain degree of hope still alive in me that tells me that I will someday reach this goal.

This next one is a little funny, because it was something I had been previously bitching about for a while and that would be to get a new (and better) job. I had stayed around because of the holiday season and with it done and over with now, now I feel like I have that much more freedom to begin to search and search seriously this time. OK and maybe I was just being too damn lazy to do anything about this too.

I'd like to say that I would also like to get into better shape, but come on folks. How many people make and break that one around this time of year? Eh, I won't go there (but really, I'd like get into better shape!)

And lastly, the one thing I'd like to do that would rank up as the most important, is to be a better friend. Sounds corny right? But seriously, I am not the best person to have as a friend and I tend to be as personable as a rock. Or was it I have a personality of a rock? Hmmm...

Anyway, yes... major goal this year is to try and be a better friend and a better person. Maybe I'll be able to better keep in contact with old friends as well as the new with this little self-made resolution.

So this hasn't been quite the impressive list of resolutions or whatever you'd like to call them. But here they are, now to see how much of this I'll be able to uphold and follow through with. Just gotta shake the lazies off and I should be A-OK!

*Yaawn* Laaaazy!
