Alright 2006, we had some kicks...whether they were the good kind of kicks or the kicks that generally translate to being kicked in the face, we had our fair share of both I'd say. However, the time has inevitably come for you to move your ass into the past and make room for this new, cleanly slated forigener: 2007. For a while, the way the end of my 2006 was going, I wasn't really looking forward to the new year, but then I realized that I need to grab it by the balls and live the shit out of it. 2006 didn't kill me, so I guess that means it only made me stronger, right? I'm gonna new year like it's an actual verb.
Optimisim is uplifting. Try it sometime!
Ok, so it's time for one of those recaps of the last year for my own personal benefit (assuming that no one actually reads this interneted translation of the thoughts that leak out of my labrynth of a brain):
-Played board games every night for a good portion of second semester
-Many ridiculous endeavors with the most fabulous people I know
-Played a lesbian dominatrix, ultimately changing facets life and acting career
-Made a feature length movie about Evil Sudoku
-Aced a paper on Sex and the City in my English class
-Spent the summer guarding lives and theatering
-Kept the old friends, made some new ones, and had some familiar faces from long ago drop back into my life
-Took a few mildly thrilling yet ultimately disappointing rides on the roller coaster of love...hopefully my follies will not lead to my demise in this department
-Became more aquainted with the drama llama and the emo emu than I would have cared to become
-Took on my first official indie film credit (kind of)
-Made a drinking game out of decorating my christmas tree
-Started a minimalist indie band with Gregory...we call ourselves The Goodness Gracious
I've never been big on New Year's resolutions, but no one really is because I have yet to meet anyone who has ever stuck to their resolution. If anyone has ever stuck to theirs or knows someone that has, I would be interested in shaking your hand, and knowing how (and why) you took it so seriously. So instead of resolutions, I am making a list of goals...not resolutions...GOALS! These are the things that I'm striving to achieve in 2007, and I'll be goddamned if I don't achieve at least half of them...godspeed to me...
-Grow a back bone...and keep it
-Trust my instincts more
-Don't worry about what people think
-Pay more attention to things
-Regulate somewhat of a sleeping pattern
-Exercise more regularly
-Pick up a new hobby or re-engage in an old one
-Get a job (other than lifeguarding...a REAL job, so to speak)
-Act more on good ideas and become more take charge
-Start being a true jew and save money
-Continue to stretch myself in acting
Hmm...too ambitious? We'll see...
