sine qua nonsense
a.k.a., getting a head start on New Year's resolutions. These are things I have decided* I am no longer willing to postpone or otherwise do without.
- health insurance
- seeing my nieces and nephews a minimum of three weeks/year
- going to concerts and plays regularly
- never to have to work shit jobs in order to pay the bills
- reliable car (could mean AAA membership) and/or bus pass
- be able to go to a coffee shop/bar whenever I feel like it, and actually consume beverages
- a quality choir/musical outlet
- access to good libraries and book stores
- music listening: get a new iPod, better speakers, and a turntable
- find/make enough time in each day to journal/write, meditate, and exercise
- international travel every other year
- the means (transportation, gas money, time) to go to the Zen center regularly
- to have my living space comfortable and presentable
- enough of a cushion so that I can take care of unexpected major expenses with car and cat
