Nonexistent, yet somewhat existent New Year's resolutions

It's almost 2011 here in Spring Branch, Texas. I think that a post is necessary, even considering the amounts of alcohol I've consumed during an intense game of Monopoly. Sad thing is, I promise never again to post while intoxicated. I can't believe that my folks kicked my ass. It's a great way to start off the new year isn't it? Losing millions of fake currency, meanwhile downing glass after glass of wine because I can't handle the loss? Sore loser much? Yeah, this most certainly says something about the New Year.

BANKRUPTCY!

To be honest, I am excited for the new year. It may be all in my head, but I think that 2011 will bring me new and better opportunities- new and better things in general. I have this feeling deep down that shit cloud is going to take a looooooong vacation. I mean, come on. 2012 is  around the corner and shit cloud is going to need to save up its energy for future destruction, don't you think? I may as well relax the year previous to the end of the world, right?

Update: Dad owes Mom 10 million dollars.

I've been contemplating what my new year's resolutions should be and I have arrived at a well thought out conclusion (because the only awesome ideas I've come up with develop in my head while intoxicated). I think that contemplating resolutions is a waste of time. I have learned throughout the duration of 2010 that sometimes, even when you plan to do something, no matter the importance, life intervenes. Life often plays a losing hand. When time passes, you tend to want different things than you wanted before. Everything changes and not in increments of a year. Everything is unpredictable.

I guess that you could argue that even with life's frequent interventions, you still have control of your own actions. I agree completely. But three months from now, I may not want exactly what I want right now. What it bares down to is this: I want to be a better person. Every year I wish the same thing and every year I've accomplished it. I am not perfect. Never will I be perfect. But I strive to learn from what I experience. I strive to make mistakes. This year was full of them. I should be thankful for that. I cannot be better without the necessary mistakes. Mistakes are opportunities, open doors.

Update: Game is still going. Houses and hotels everywhere.


I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I have no idea where I'll be in 2011 and I have no idea what I'll want. I just know that everyday should be lived to the fullest, and that is what I intend to do. I suppose that is a resolution in of itself.


Welcome 2011! Happy New Year!

Update: Dad's losing.
