Honest Resolutions

I can never make any promise to myself that i can keep. I have a really big problem with being real with myself so its hard even just to think about what i would want to change about myself. I do know a few things though because lately I have had some time to think more about them.

1) I realize I have an obsession with Miley Cyrus and it creeps me out and makes me think a little harder at the same time. She is an amazing singer. She doesn't look too bad. (I know there are more beautiful women but she is beautiful in her own right.) She is a born again Christian, which is something I take in high regard. And she seems fairly down to earth, you know for a teenage pop star with her popularity.

2) VIDEO GAMES AND LORD OF THE RINGS ARE NOT REAL. Sorry Paul but you will probably never get the chance to fight Orcs, the Covenant, splicers, or capture genetic memories from hundreds of years ago. While the morals and stories are good in themselves, you need to find the balance between reality and fiction and learn how to translate those lessons in the video games into a formula you can use everyday.

3) Speaking of formulas, start working at your academics. You excelled in your youth due to talent and never had to work hard. Now the 2 tons of bricks have fallen on you and you don't know how to deal with the work load and the stress. Pure genius can get you far but a lot of the time hard work gets you farther.

4) You know that book you have always wanted write. Yeah all 15 of 'em. At least start them. Write at least 5 pages of each or summarize what you want them to be. That book of poetry. That book of adventure. Especially that book about your eventful rise to social geekdom via Youtube, lifecasting, Digg, and possibly side hacks on your iPod along with the whole bit-torrent scene.

5) Get over the fact that you have never had a girlfriend and just tell them you love em. Not right away but actually make an effort not to let opportunities for dreams to come true slip through your fingers. You cheap, lazy bastard you. You always have a tendency to hold it in until it breaks down into something that makes you sick or comes out while you are busy being sick. (Think about that one. There is a good riddle with there.)

6) Talk to God a bit more. You take your relationship with God for granted just like your gift of academics and now you are losing both. START WORKING FOR SOMETHING REAL.

7) No matter how much you think that getting into a fight will solve your problems, you need to find a better way to work them out. Albeit these fights have not yet happened but planning how you will successfully remove one's head from their body is not exactly productive.

8) Chivalry is not dead but hell it is dying like Caesar after a betrayal from Brutus. Painful and very bitter. And the worst part is, you're are the dying tissue. The wound in chivalry's metaphorical side. So patch up and get to it. You're not done being a gentlemen yet so act like the man you still are.

9) Stop ranting like this. You sound like a douche no matter how many times people say your advice helps. Learn to listen not to advise.

10) Actually I think the first 9 covered it. This year you actually set some goals. Real goals. Not try to lose weight goals or be a better person. But goals and the start of plans. Well done.
