It's a nice day for a white wedding...
It's a nice day to start again.
I'm not really sure how New Year's Resolutions came to be, and I don't care enough to research it, but I like the idea. I never really made such promises to myself. Usually if I wanted to change something, I didn't save it up for January 1st. Like quitting smoking (9/5/02) or job hunting, or going back to school for various reasons. I just do it. This year feels different though. A lot has changed for me recently, and it seems to be at the point now, that I need to change a few things on my own. It just happens to fall at the time that we all have to remember to write/type '09 instead of '08.
I want to get back into writing again. The trouble is, I'm not sure that people really care about what I have to say. Sometimes I don't care about what I have to say. How would I be able to convince people to read my stuff? Maybe I only want to write because I've been watching Sex and the City, and I want to be Carrie. Hell, I want to be blonde because I watched too many Christina Aguilera music videos in one day. Maybe I'll watch Zoolander for a week straight and want to be a male model. Who knows? What I do know, is that I need to change things. I need to find me again. If that means being a few other people along the way, then so be it. 2009 will be the year of many Becki's.
I will start off my year by changing one thing a week. Eventually, the novelty will wear off, and I will retreat to my old ways, but at least January will be fun. My first week will be to watch less TV. Since we currently only have rabbit ears, this will be easier than many people think. I will try to limit myself mostly to news programs, but we all know that when Seinfeld comes on at 10 every night, I will plop down and enjoy the 30 minutes of wasted time. We shall see how this goes.
As the weeks go by, I will find new ways to improve myself. With all my TV free time now, I'm sure I will have plenty of things to dwell on that need to be "fixed."
