New Years!
Ok, so my friend A (I'm starting just to use letters so I don't get in any trouble revealing to much private stuff about people) saw me in my shop and invited me yet again to his party. He tempted me with numerous types of beers and well I guess that was about it. I declined for previously said reasons of hating New Years. So later that night I was sitting around when I thought fuck this, I've finally been invited to a New Years Eve party, it might be with people I'm not great friends with but why be such a negative Nancy. So I sucked it up and went.
Well I saw a bunch of people I didn't expect to see. One girl from highschool M, that sat behind me in senior year social studies that was quite hot and of course in turn popular. We used to chat in class every now and then. Well when I was "reintroduced" to her (apparently she lives in California now) she was like nice to meet you. I simply said, Yeah, seeing as it wasn't the first time we met. I think M took that as me being rude and didn't say much to me the rest of the night. Which was A ok with me. A few others that weren't friends in highschool but not as bad to talk to as I thought. Looking back I realize that I didn't really do much talking to people. I must have been too busy getting drunk. My friend A apparently lied to his new wife S about quitting smoking. Apparently S can't hold her alcohol too well and she started getting rambunxious. I walked out onto the porch and she yells "Kent did you know I married a lier?" I was like uhhhh So then things calmed down a bit then a few minutes later she bursts out... "what else have you been lieing to me about?" I fealt bad for her. She's really sweet and A really is a lier about some things. I wouldn't call him the most upstanding person. Then again I fealt bad for him to because it seemed quite embaressing. Also I caught one of the other wives nagging her husband about something. So shortly after midnight (I think) we were all out on the porch again. I was probably just sitting there in a drunken stupor while everyone else was talking. Or everyone else was also in a stupor. So everyone goes inside, I started to go inside when I was like you know what, I'm tired, drunk, and I'm done for the night. I'm going to make a quiet exit. So I just walked off the porch and started walking home. Perfect timeing... I puked a few times on the way home. Ahhh the sign of a succesful New Years Eve. Jumped in bed and passed out. So no the "Jew Broad" was not there, and I didn't "hook up" for New Years.
To tell the truth after seeing the problems with the married couples at the party it helped me realize that having a significant other isn't always all peaches and cream. So maybe I should be more appreciative of what I have instead of what I don't have.
So since I had the most succesful New Years Eve in a loooooong time, I figured that its time to start working on a few things. Now I'm not going to call them resolutions because if I do that they are most definately doomed to failure. Also a few of these ummm we'll call them self improvements have been kicked around and even worked on a bit already. As a person I've been trying to get more organized and disciplined. Those are sort of the overall tasks but they are actually made up of many many self improvements. The best way to tackle a problem is to break it down into manageable problems. I figure these new self improvements that just so happen to coincide with New Year's are just a continuation of all the changes I've already been working on. So we will see how long they last. The important thing to realize is that even though I might not meet the goals completely any improvement is better than none at all. (see thats me keeping a positive attitude) I also have to say that so far I've been feeling pretty good this year lol. Well I should mention overall I was feeling much better until that lil bump in the road called the holiday's. Now that they are over... well you know.
So one of the improvements is to get to bed, wake up, and leave for work all on time. I've created record logs scotch taped around my house to keep track of this one. I have a log for lights out, one for getting out of bed, and when I leave for work. So far... good results. Went to bed an hour late, got up on time though and got out the door by 8:00. Got into work before anyone else but the secretary. Now if I could keep this up for a while I might start to try to get up a bit earlier so I can spend a little bit more time doing household chores before I get to work. It's always a drag to come home after a long day at work and have to get right into doing dishes making dinner blah blah you know all that crap. I never seem to remember to take meat out of the freezer or stick it in a marinade before I leave for work. That one little step makes cooking dinner so much easier.
Ok this ones starting to go off topic. I'm really good at that. Anyway I hope everyone has a positive personal outlook for the year. I realize having a positive outlook for the rest of the world seems kind of dim in these harsh times. And remember if you come up with any ideas on self improvement there is no reason to wait for a new year to get to work on them. Get started on them TODAY! nothing is stopping you except yourself.
