Resolutions and Committments
I know, I know - New Years resolutions are always broken. So I'm going to defy Conventional Wisdom, and post some reasonable goals that I might actually be able to accomplish. Nothing earthshaking, but if I can make these happen, and more like them in coming years, then I'll end up a better, happier Matt.
Onward!
1. I do hereby resolve and affirm that I shall treat people I care about with more respect and affection, taking the time to actually LISTEN to them instead allowing myself to become distracted by thoughts and concerns of the mundanities of life around me. FOCUS, Matt!
2. I do hereby resolve and affirm that I shall treat my body with more respect and reduce the amount of nutritionless offal that I shove in my gob. If, by doing this, I can drop 10 pounds PERMANENTLY, I will be a happy fellow indeed.
3. I do hereby resolve and affirm that I will become a better SAPA actor/performer, and will lend more support to my fellow performers. I will assist any and all who request instruction in dialect, and will do so in a manner that shows my respect for them.
4, I do hereby resolve and affirm that I shall enroll in at least 1 improv class (outside of Faire) this year - so long as I can get another SAPA member to attend with me. It looked like loads of fun, and I need the instruction.
5. I do hereby resolve and affirm that I shall set aside a small but reasonable sum of money to be used in the future towards a trip back to England. I MUST visit Hampton Court Palace (never been there!), and show my wife and son around London. England has been such a part of my life that I would like to share it with them.
6. I do hereby resolve and affirm that I will be there to help and support my Family of Choice whenever the need arises. I have much to pay back.
