how do you feel about sex in the afternoon?
turns out I've had this livejournal thing for a really long time. glancing through, I can't help but notice some disturbing patterns.
selected resolutions from 2004:
Have the guts to try new things: learn to play guitar. Learn to longboard. Learn about and do more art.
Refrain from cutting my own hair (unless I REALLY want to.)
Be real. I'm sick of fake things.
Continue self-improvement and progress.
Don't waste time doing nothing.
Live in the present -- appreciate the full beauty of each moment.
and 2005:
- not to cut one's own hair in excessive amounts
- quit being so damn quiet and shy.
- oh yeah: swear less.
- call and hang out with people when I say I will
- write and do art instead of just thinking about it
- continue consciousness/ be aware/ be incorrigably present.
I didn't make any resolutions in 2006. I didn't make any rules, either, and as a result broke every single one.
and so for 2007, the list in progress:
remember that you can't solve other people's problems.
remember that you can't be everything to everyone.
take the risk of making contact.
keep track of yourself even when other people don't keep track of themselves.
write in notebooks.
write in essays.
write in poems.
write in novels.
write in literary journals.
stop writing in livejournal.
if you want to talk, hang out, make tea, make music, make art, make out, get out of the house, or get into a fight (with me), maybe you should call me or text me or show up at my house. or do one and then another. whatever you want to do, let's do it in person. I really like you and I really want to know you. there is room for you in my kitchen and in my bed and sitting on the floor and in lots of other places, like next to windows and next to the water. and I'd like to make some efforts toward trying that all out. I think it will work really well.
