there's a method to our madness
"Hot Date 2008" didn't really go as planned.
I'm not going to waste my breath and make all kinds of lofty goals that I could never possibly reach. Instead, I will make some tangible and wonderfully vague goals that I can pretty much attain if I put enough heart into (or if I twist the wording enough).
1. I'm going to get something published.
Doesn't matter if it's in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune or the UCLA Student Journal or anything... I will let my voice be heard, damnit! As much as I like to fool myself into thinking that writing for me is a purely self-benefitting exercise for releasing the creative juices, journaling my thoughts, making sense of my life- I need some validation sometimes.
2. I'm going to learn the trick of the trades.
I need to learn/study something this year. Whether it be a new language, a new knitting pattern, a musical instrument, or graphic design of some sort, I need to put this ol' noggin of mine to work. No more lounging around the ol' telly getting fat like Gilbert Grape's mama. I'm almost tempted to invest in a xylophone so roomie & I can start our two-woman band.
3. I'm going to be shameless. I think was I'm starting to age, I am starting to get less and less inhibited, which for me, is kind of a good thing. Of course I'm not "ajoomah" status yet, farting around and wearing outright tacky (though that's questionable) attire. I'm going to care less about what people think, cause when you really get down to the nitty gritty, they don't really care. 2009- NO SHAME, NO CRIME.
