update 4.4.2010

okay, so, i haven't been blogging like i should. i apologize to the few of you who actually read this. i'ma do better, forgive me, k?

welp, now that we have the preliminaries out of the way, i figure the best place to get started, is where i left off.

1. try sushi-done. it wasn't pretty, but, i got it done.

2. make better/wiser decisions.

well, i guess this remains to be seen, but, i feel i'm doing a much better job in 2010, thus far, than ever before. this is an on-going goal, so, i'll keep you all posted.

3. be more open to communication.

this one is pretty easy, because people rarely call me anymore. it would be easier to determine how well i'm doing at this one, if my phone were blowing up...but it doesn't anymore, not even with texts. makes me feel sort of unimportant, just kidding. kind of.

4. resume guitar lessons.

not yet...my funds won't let me be great. so this one, is on hold.

5. write/blog more.

i was doing well at this one for a while...the writing part moreso than the blogging, but alas, i've fallen off on both fronts now. i've got to do better with this, and i will. it would help if you guys n gals would offer up some support, or even suggestions as to what i should blog about. thanks in advance.

6. get a great job!

um, working on it...like, you have no idea.

7. save money.

um, see #4.

8. go to miami 5/13/2010.

not likely. like i said, my funds won't let me be great. however, it is on the agenda for 5/13/2011. you just wait 'n see.

9. return to isle of palms, sc for hotel carolina 2010.

despite my funds not letting me great, this WILL happen. the beachhouse i will be sharing with my 2009 hotel carolina cohorts, is reserved. now, it's just a matter of counting down the 144 days.

10. dress up more (age appropriate).

okay, i think i've decided that there is what is me, and, what is not. i'm comfortable being who i am. i have decided to dress for occasion, and not to fit some sort of mold.

11. get clavicle/collarbone implant.

um, this one is back on the list, since i accidentally ripped it out, twice.

12. get another tattoo by miya bailey.

this is still on the list. i want desperately to get a half sleeve. and i will. give me time.

13. go skydiving.

i still want to do this. maybe by the summer's end.

14. take an art[istic] class.

again, see #4.

15. pay at off least one high $ bill.

2010 ain't over yet.

16. print photos/start albums.

gonna do this, haven't yet, but i definitely will. i take photos like crazy, so it's one of my serious goals.

17. cook more.

i could do this more. i haven't lately, but i would/will.

18. move to and/or prepare to move to nashville.

um, this is on hold, until #6 is in order.

19. read and complete at least one book.

i finished wally lamb's 'i'll fly away' ...and am almost done with tananarive due's 'black rose' (which is an extremely inspiring piece of work). up next, chelsea handler's books, starting with 'my horizontal life: a collection of one-night stands'.

20. send mom flower 'just because'.

not yet, but i will, and that's a promise.

21. write/send at least 3 letters.

i've made pretty good on this one. i wrote/sent my twin a 75pg letter. i also wrote my grandma a letter. that leaves just one more...i heard lil wayne wants his fans to write, that may be #3.

22. stand firm in what i believe to be right.

always.

23. start buying lotto tickets (weekly).

well, i've bought some lotto tickets, maybe not weekly, but i've bought some. clearly, i didn't win.

24. go on another cruise.

cruise #3 awaits me. not so sure if that'll happen this year.

25. reunite with sarah.

that's on schedule, like i said, 144 days!

26. professional mani/pedi once a month.

um, i've given myself mani/pedis...not so much professional, but, at least it's being done...and even more than once a month.

27. buy more underwear.

i did!!

28. never order the same thing twice.

i've actually been doing a pretty good job of this, but, i've decided to amend this one. if it's a place i haven't been to in a long time, i think it's okay to get my favorite dish.

29. discover new authors.

i've decided to amend this one too. i have a zillion books i've bought, and haven't read, i need to get through those before i discover new authors...well, right after i read chelsea's books.

30. start attending church regularly.

fail. fail. fail. i need to start. i know.

31. start reading the newspaper, daily.

well, i have definitely been doing a great job of this, maybe not every single day, but at least 75%. learning so much.

k...well, that's all for now. i hope to post a real entry sometime later this week. but for now, i just wanted to make good on my promise to zizzymane, to post something this weekend (even though it's monday, it's still technically my weekend. thanks for keepin' me in line, zizz (by the way, if you're not following him on twitter, start!).

later gators.
