Resolutions

-
I have no resolutions. But I have a title. I have a plan. This is the year of community.

I will take some risks and meet some people. I will make friends who live in in the same state--maybe even the same city--as me.

I like your *resolution*. Maybe I should call it a theme or aspiration?

Anyhow, I can relate since most of my friends are too far away to get together very often. Thanks to the world of blogging, I have made a few good friends that live within an hour's drive.

Here's to community! *cheers*

Community... I love it! Hey, maybe we'll get a chance to meet in person this year. I am in Texas these days! :)

Merry 2010... and beyond! :)

I'm all for your plan. You have to keep me, though, even if I do live in another state!

I am so keeping you, Kelly--along with all of my other out of state friends.

I think resolutions are overrated. A title sounds good. A plan even better. I'll be tuning in to see what unfolds.

Happy, Happy New Year to you!

I like the community theme. Meeting people does involve risk, although usually not as big as it feels.

Glad you are keeping me, too. Twenty nine years is a lot of love to throw away! :) Happy New Year- sorry I am so late in getting here.

Don't take the wrong risks though. Good choices have good results in life. And Always push yourself to a challenge... My quote is
"Always believe to achieve.
Always achieve to succeed."
or
"you won't accomplish what you do't try to gain." made them up.

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

-
Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

Excerpt from student paper today: Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize. At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?" Oh yes. And it gets better! Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree

First comes love. . .

Then comes doing our level best to destroy the family. Susan and I sat cross-legged on our bed last night and swore our undying love for one another. No witnesses, no music, no officials; just two happy gals staring into one another's eyes. I am very happy. It's funny, wearing this ring has made me a little self-conscious; I spent the day feeling like I had a neon sign on my forehead that said, "Look at my finger!" My office mate Mark said he felt the same way after he got married. Symbols are powerful things for English majors. Now if only I could claim her on my health insurance. "We learn to love by loving."
