So here it is the end of the first week of 2012.  It doesn’t feel any different.  I don’t feel any different.  But I feel weird thinking to myself, who cares if its a new year?  Does that make me the anti-christ?  no!  I mean who came up with “New Year’s”?  How come it isn’t June 1st?  or October 15th?  And that made me realize I don’t need to treat this “year” (I use the term loosely)  different.  For example….you know what time it is!

• no need in killing myself to come up with different new year’s resolutions I won’t keeping
• no stress about above bullet
• no failure face this year when that one asshole remembers you said you were going to workout everyday this year and points out you haven’t lost any weight.  Jerk!
• no thinking up things to celebrate the victory if you do meet a resolution

So I am sure my bullets sound like I am saying don’t strive for anything.  I’m not saying that i am saying strive for the same things you were already striving for.  No need to change it up cause it’s resolution time.  That way the pressure is off.

So I still need to let you know what it is I was already striving for:

• Doing what I love and what I want to do.  Before fools react I am not quitting my job to become a personal shopper…unless you want to pay me.  lol.  it just means I’m am going to be a little selfish these days.  If I ain’t feeling it or it doesn’t fit in my schedule I am not forcing it.  And I need to spend time with the folks I care most about instead of randoms.
• Hit the streets – No I am not whoring it up or becoming a drug dealer…unless you want to pay me.  I may be ok with being a high class escort.  I bet all I’d have to do is smile at old Richy Rich’s crotch and get a rise outta him.  So this one is about me going out and doing things that are different and fun in an effort to meet more people.  As long as those things fulfill the above bullet.
• Get in good with Jesus – I’m not joining a cult!  I’m just going to be a little more spiritual.  Start going to church, read some books about spirituality, or go to some of those negro chitterling circuit plays so I can yell out “THANKYAJESUS” in a theater.
• Move this (sing like technotronic) – everyday do something active.  I’m a desk jockey for goodness sake, I need to start doing something everyday to counteract swamp ass.  So I might dance like a fool in my apartment to L.M.F.A.O for 30 minutes, or I go to the gym or I do indeed get that high end escort job.  Everything counts but it needs to be done.

But the kicker to all of these is that I’m not going to contemplate social suicide if I don’t make these happen.  Sure I am trying to make them happen but I’m doing it kind of stress free which for this year feels nice.  🙂

What have you been striving for?
