Yet another year is upon us and the resolutions start pouring in. First we’ve got to look at all of the great things that 2009 offered us. Uhm… nothing really, just another damn year spent paying bills etc. etc. I got to go camping once, though it was an out of state trip that was a phenomenal time meeting new people, I only got to go camping once.

Instead of trying to think of some resolution to try and keep for an entire year I decided to stop the resolution, though I think that was what I had resolved to do last year, let’s just go with it. So again, instead I opted to write down a list of personal goals for the year. Not that I’m really going to share any of them with the general public, they’re personal. They’re also nothing realistically worth bragging about. Bike more, better understand a second language instead of knowing quite a few phrases in so many. Camp more especially, lame stuff that people usually do only I’m going to try to focus on the completion factor, none of this half ass shit that I normally do.

I do have to add, while writing said list- after starting to write exactly how I plan on accomplishing these goals I began to think that I may not have any actual time to relax in my normal complete silence. I’d write that down as a goal but I think that if I tell someone one of my goals for 2010 is to relax more, they will probably laugh or ridicule me.

Drink different types of tea is also on that list, ridiculous maybe but I’m predominantly an Earl Grey drinker, not sure why but it is by far one of my favored flavors and I really like it strong, to the point where it tastes like you’re actually chewing the tea itself. Note to the public: That was an incredibly hard sentence to sound politically correct.

To keep this short because the New Year is upon us, get ready for the first blue moon on New Year’s Eve in twenty years. I also hope to be able to complete something musically at least every other month. If anyone ever wants to work on anything, you know how to get a hold of me.

Happy New Year everyone.

So I’ve been looking at what my new year has to offer me. I know, it is a rather long time to even think about new years resolutions. Well, two or three weeks realistically. So I figured I would look through all of my options and what would be something I would be comfortable with.

Instead of any major change to make, I figured I would continually work towards going greener. As well as try to work towards a more organic way of life.

How I see it, most people make some abnormal statement about their new years resolution and eventually go bust by March. Either because they’re lazy or they just slow out of it. But I figured if my resolution is becoming a social norm, it would be harder for me to even screw it up, right?

I have a huge list of things that I would like to change about my life and I know that only I can change them. I could go out and make all the changes right away but I think the process of working towards the progress is the best part.

There are also a lot of things I would like to see happen and go greener/organic within our society as well. I would like to see a lot more varieties of organic clothing. Yes you can find this and that with an organic label, but I’d like to see a lot more of it. I’d like to go into Target or Kohl’s and buy a package of organic boxers and/or socks. I want to see more organic denim being made. Shoes etc. How easy is it to find organic Hemp Denim Jeans? They say that Hemp pants last a long time, I know that the majority of my denim is pretty old so it would be cool to see a 10 year lifespan on my jeans. And when they’re completely trashed, there are always patches as well as goodwill- if burning it for warmth isn’t thought of.

Some of you know that in my free thought time, I’m always trying to think of ways to improve living. I’ve mentioned ideas that I would do to a house, gardening, etc. It’s not that I don’t mind seeing people living in excess, but I see so many people living in excess wasting and it’s depressing. I’ve come to the point where I don’t care anymore seeing people throw their Big Mac wrapper on the sidewalk, I’m getting upset seeing people throw that wrapper with half the damn big mac.
That also brings up the ridiculous ‘Beggar for food’ you see. There have been many times I’ve walked the streets in Portland and some beggar asks me for a couple coins so they can eventually eat. Many times I may have my leftovers from lunch/dinner with me. So I offer those instead of cash, and they turn it down. What? I just told you that I’ve got a full container of Penne Alfredo as well as half a burger and you’re going to turn it down? It’s one thing to be a beggar but a choosy beggar?
I remember this one time when a friend and myself were waiting for the train and these two people were trying to pawn off some fancy meal to us. We were trying and trying to convince these people that we didn’t need their food. We have homes with food we don’t need yours leave us alone. Finally I caved and took their food with an angry face, waited for them to walk around the corner and sat the food by a trash can, in case someone who did need the food didn’t have to search a can for it.

I may have rambled for a bit there but I just wanted to say that the new year is upon us and ’tis the season to think of any resolutions to make. Why not give us enough time to think about it instead of responding impulsively?
