Complex Simplicities
Does it really matter what other's think of what you say? In this day and age, apparently so. So let them feast on my words!
It’s a new year, which means it’s time to make resolutions that I will prob fail at by April. Nonetheless I suppose it’s only proper to at least announce them. Then maybe some people might keep me accountable, or just point and laugh at me.
1. Yelp Elite Status: Think I’ve been to enough restaurants, clubs, lounges, and venues in the city to be able to reach this holy grail of foodies and bloggers. I hear its 100 review posts to obtain Elite status. I say “BRING IT ON!”
2. Lose 10 lbs: Say this every year, get close to it, then pack it back on come winter. Something about the cold that makes me crave Crunch Bars…
3. Find a new job: Rather than spend 80% of my workday doing non-work related things (mostly because they give me work that a blind monkey with 3 fingers can do), I’d like to actually join a team that makes me feel like I’m doing something that matters. Oh and being around educated and English-speaking people is also a plus.
4. 700 on GMATs: Probably unatainable seeing as I am horrid at these kinds of exams, but one can dream.
5. Break Par: It’s been a while since I was able to shoot under-par on a consistent basis. Prob stopped the moment I left California, which brings me to my next resolution…
6. Move back to CA: I’ve been out in NYC for 6+ years now. I think I’ve seen what I needed to see, done what I needed to do. I’m ready for some consistency in my life and my liver could use a brief hiatus. (sidenote: In any given year on the east coast, temperatures can range from 0 to 100 degrees. In SoCal, you never see a fluxuation greater than 50 degrees…just saying)
7. Create an hour mix: Now that I think I’ve got the basics down of DJ’ing, I think it’s time for me to make a top40/hip hop/r&b/pop mix. Better start booking me for parties after this! (again…dreams)
8. Visit the Motherland: Never been to Korea. Sad, I know. Think it’s time for me to finally see what all the hype is about. My friends always tell me that it’s awesome out there. When I ask what they do when they visit, they say they can’t really remember because they were smashed 80% of the time there (apparently soju is cheaper than water…score).
I’m sure I ran a few more resolutions through the old hard-drive, but I can’t really recall them at this moment. Ideally I’d like to get these done by 2011. Realistically, these still might be my resolutions in 2020 when I’m fat, unhappily employed, terrible at golf, uncultured, unmotivated…you get the point.
