Back to the basics. I want to post fun/interesting links for your enjoyment instead of all this ranting and raving. The crazy only comes out of me *some* times!
-WMATA considers changing the name of the new baseball stadium stop (Navy Yard) so as not to confuse people (aka tourists). Wouldn't it just be more confusing to have two "stadium" stops?
-I'm considering a Green Memorial for my burial now. The idea is pretty cool! Is it weird that I've already given thought to me funeral? I think its practical. For once I'm thinking ahead on something!
-This is hilarious. And I think I have the same $1 million dollar bill the guy was trying to use!
-Goonies sequel?!
Aaaand....thats all for now. Maybe more later...

If I could count the number of time I've been told to keep my opinions to myself, I might have enough money for those expensive boots I saw on Macys.com.....I might have enough for ten pairs of boots and a house even. That is....1) if I counted or 2) if I ever listened to anyone.
For many, many years people have been told to keep their opinions to themselves out of politeness especially subjects involving politics and religion. Always known as testy subjects that get the best of friends and family into heated debate, the general public seems to shy away from these conversations, even if it makes things a little more exciting.....I think we could all use a little more excitement in our lives, don't you?
With that being said, let me state plainly and clearly what I think about these taboo topics.
Religion: I do not believe in god or jesus. Never have, never will. The most I've been willing to state is that there is a very slim chance that these two things are real only cause I can't prove it wrong....and if I can't prove it wrong, that means you can't prove it right. Don't use the bible as proof. For all we know it could have been created by the L. Ron Hubbards of yore. From what I'm told the bible has some great stories in it. Magic, mystical creatures, and angels. Sounds like something out of Lord of the Rings. Maybe one of these days I'll pick it up, but the pages are rather thin and I tend to treat books with a heavy hand so maybe Ill just get the DVD. Is the bible or its equivalent on Netflix yet?
Politics: I am a raging feminist, pro-choice, pro-gay, pro-union, anti-gun, anti-war, tree hugging liberal. I believe that raising taxes is ok if its going to give everyone health care. I don't think the government should have one ounce of say what we do with our bodies.....and contrary to popular right-wing belief, being pro-choice does NOT mean you are pro-abortion. It means you have the right to decide what you want to do cause chances are, abstinence only teaching did not work and little Susie never learned about birth control and prevention from STDs. Also guns DO kill people you NRA assholes. When you leave your fully loaded gun in your nightstand to make you feel "safe" at night, Timmy is probably going to find it eventually and end up accidentally shooting himself or his friend in the head while playing wild wild west.
So thats what I think....the basics at least.
Freedom of speech does come at a cost. We end up having to deal with absolute toolboxes like Bill O'Reilly, pill poppers like Rush Limbaugh, Her Cuntess Ann Coulter, and even foreign dicktator Ahmadinejad. We have a choice to listen to what we want, just like you have a choice to read this blog or not, but for some reason it is always what we disagree with most that we are so interested in hearing. Opposing sides are constantly at each others throats and hanging on to the oppositions every last word, and why? I'm certainly guilty of this as I just got really pissed at a quote that I (shamefully) found on PerezHilton.com by Ann Coulter stating:
Isnt that just despicable? Don't you just want to choke her scrawny little neck? I want to see her castrated, stoned, stretched out, looped around a flag pole and burn baby burn...the last thing she'll hear is John Edwards speaking to a group of AFL-CIO workers about cutting taxes for the rich to provide free government paid health care to their families. Hahaha....I'm evil!!!
Some would be unhappy with me if I stated this opinion say, out at a bar in mixed political and religious company. They would look at me with big eyes, mouths agape, shaking their heads. How dare you speak your mind in public like that! Hey, I even get it from my own mother. The one who told me I could be whoever I wanted and always stand up for what I believe in. Of course, she (and others) might say that my tasteless description of how I would like to witness this evil bitch's death is unnecessary and rude, but really....does this bitch deserve to be treated like a human being even in rhetoric. No fucking way!!!
And when someone tries to tell me in conversation that they think we had a valid reason for invading Iraq am I just going to smile and nod and just say, "well that's your opinion." NO! The reason these motherfuckers are still running this country and the WORLD is because they play dirty, they talk dirty, and us more educated and courteous folk have been letting them walk, stomp, spit and kick all over what the United States stands for. The founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves! Illegal wiretapping, religious persecution, scandals and cover-ups, denying innocent children health care, the list goes on.
So pardon me for not bending over backward to play nice with all the kids in the school yard. The one runt of that pack that stood up to the bully was always laughed at, but in the end, when the runt won, the bully went crying to mommy like a little bitch and the school yard was once again a happy, safe, democratic place to be.
PS and BTW: This was written as a rant...spelling and grammatical errors are probably all over the place and I may or may not be making sense, but hey, whats a blog for, right? Im sure you caught my drift, picked up what I was throwing down, etc.

"If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women. It also makes the point, it is kind of embarrassing, the Democratic Party ought to be hanging its head in shame, that it has so much difficulty getting men to vote for it. I mean, you do see it's the party of women and 'We'll pay for health care and tuition and day care — and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?'"

An open letter to the religious solicitors in Elmwood Village:
Dear freaks,
Please refrain from leaving your literature at my house on Norwood Avenue (I'm talking to YOU Scientologists and Jehovah's Witnesses). I am not now nor will I ever be interested in your so-called "religions". You've been littering my front porch all summer and I am sick and tired of cleaning up your pamphlets and brochures. And that Scientology questionarre you handed me on my way to the bank? I've seen better questions on a MySpace survey. I've tried to be nice, but I'm about to go South Park on your ass.
Thank you.
Disdainfully yours,
A pissed off neighbor (aka ME)
PS: Youre killing trees! You may not care since you think youll be taken to the Mother Land sooner rather than later, but some of have accepted that we have to live on this GD planet.

I've abandoned my blog and I'm ashamed of myself. I live in Buffalo now, so I don't know if the title still applies, but considering I did grow up from NoVA, but live in a different location the least I can do is give my opinion about living in another city.
I'll be back. Soon, I promise. I don't have a job or anything, so I should have plenty of time to write.

Tuesday Linky Goodness
I'm not doing anything at work but surfing the World Wide Web, so I thought I would share some interesting links I've come across the past couple days:
-The Office has put the city of Scranton, PA on the map and Scranton looks to cash in. (and thank god they are airing a new episode this week...its been too long.)
-I just read this article about a secret FBI intelligence unit interrogating a group of war protesters back in 2002. Apparently, they were detained because of suspicion in their all black attire which is often associated with Anarchist groups. Up until now the FBI and DC police had denied this incident ever took place, but after the individuals filed a civil lawsuit "newly uncovered" records surfaced to support the protesters claims. To light my fire even more, I listened to this while I was reading the article:
-I find this blogger pretty hysterical (in a funny not a crazy way). I'll always love my town, but you have to admit it can suck to live here sometimes.
-I didn't partake in any Aprils Fools pranks this year, but I enjoyed these sites practical jokes.

Shamrock Fest was awhile ago, but here are a couple pics of my friends and I. I'm working on personalizing this blog a bit more since I won't be able to talk about DC/NoVA happenings for much longer.
This one above is of myself, my friend Lindsay and her boyfriend Ed. Not sure where I got the aviators from or what I'm reaching in my purse for. This is after several hours at the Fest and the Bloody Mary brunch.
So this one is of me and the girls, Lindsay and Derin. I think Derin and I left shortly after this. If its not blatantly obvious to you Derin and I were at a different level than Lindsay was at and it was a loooooong metro ride home.
On another note, I think I was the only person at Shamrock who wasn't wearing green, which is odd cause green is my favorite color. Thumbs up to all the port-a-potties. Unlike past years in Arlington, there were plenty of bathrooms and I never had to wait in line to go. I still prefer the Arlington location if only cause its much closer to home.

March 27, 2007Washington, D.C.: Insert Catch Phrase Here
Posted by Sommer Mathis in News | Link | Comments (29) | Recommend this! (11) |
On Sunday, the Post ran a story detailing the Washington, DC Convention and Tourism Corporation's announcement that they will spend $150,000 beginning this year to research and develop a new catch phrase for the city. We told you a bit about these plans, including the Tourism Corporation's effort to gather your opinions on the District through their Share Your DC survey, back in January. If you still haven't completed the survey, go ahead and take a minute to do so now.
New city slogans are all the rage, we're told, like the ubiquitous "What Happens Here Stays Here" for Las Vegas, or the much-derided "Metronatural" for Seattle. But we'd like to humbly submit that the Tourism board rethink this plan. Not the part about coming up with a new slogan for D.C. — "Washington, D.C.: The American Experience," is objectively boring. Just the part where they're going to throw down $150,000 to pick a new one. Why didn't you come to us, Tourism officials? Between our staff and commenters, we bet can come up with something perfect for the low, low price of only, say $50,000. Think of the savings. Think of the time you'll save. Think of the ridiculous DCist yacht party we could throw. It boggles the mind.We stayed up all night working on some slogans, and encourage you to add some more to the comments. Some of these are somewhat serious suggestions. Others, not at all serious. We'll trust you to know the difference.

What happened to Jewel?
How does an artist go from songs like this:
to this:
Its supposed to be funny, right? I was looking for some sort of message in the Intuition lyrics, but I just wasn't getting it. And this is coming from someone who purchased and actually enjoyed Jewels book of poetry.
This all came up after spending an hour on a feminist blog then later looking through Co-Op Americas Responsible Shopper site and listening to Jewel's Pieces of You album so I think I may just be feeling a bit self righteous. There are a crap load of other things I could complain about that have more signifigance than how Jewel might have changed her image, but oh well, its me and I'm sad to say I do still pay attention to celebrity going ons.

There's a ton of stuff going on in the area this weekend and next weekend. Heres a list of some stuff to chose from:
-Of course there is Shamrock Fest. I decided against going this year (rather my wallet decided for me). I will be doing a pre-party at my friend Derin's where she promises eggs, bacon, potatoes, and mimosas. I'll probably make myself a Bloody Mary :)
-The Hirshorn is hosting an After hours event tonight which reveals a new installation in the museums lobby. You can also take an "Insomniac" tour of the museum, drink, and play with Lite-Brites. Can't go to this either cause of the damn wallet!
-DCist Exposed kicks off tonight March 9 and will be showing till March 16.
-March Madness blah blah blah, here are some places to go watch the games in the DC area.
-The muy expensive, but very fun DC International Wine and Food Festival. I love wine, I love food, and I love festivals. I wish I could go to this.
-The National Museum for Women in the Arts is showing a special exhibit, Katrina Mississippi Women Remember from March 9- May 28.
-The DC Independent Film Festival will also be wrapping up this weekend. Looks like I missed International Womens Day. The next few days have some good offerings.
Have any other inside information? These are just a short list of the special events I heard about for this weekend, there could be many others. I'm sure you are all gearing up for St. Patricks Day as well. I'm not as excited as I have been in previous years. Anywho...could this day go ANY SLOWER!?!?!?!?!???? GOSH!

Links to help you avoid work (like I am currently doing):
-On March 15 between the hours of 10 and 12 go to your local Starbucks to take advantage of their Coffee Break where you are entitled to a free 12 oz coffee. Might as well get something for free out of this billion dollar franchise.
-I am so upset that my favorite magazine would allow my least favorite person to be a guest editor.
-USAToday.com has a new look and some pretty cool new features (such as being able to comment on all stories and having personalized blog pages hosted by the site). Heres me in case your a member and want to add me as a friend :)
-A hilarious article from Cracked.com on the 8 Important Lessons Learned from 80's Cartoons.

From the Borowitz Report:
Supreme Court Gives Gore’s Oscar to Bush
Stunning Reversal for Former Veep
Just days after former Vice President Al Gore received an Academy Award for his global warming documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” the United States Supreme Court handed Mr. Gore a stunning reversal, stripping him of his Oscar and awarding it to President George W. Bush instead.
For Mr. Gore, who basked in the adulation of his Hollywood audience Sunday night, the high court’s decision to give his Oscar to President Bush was a cruel twist of fate, to say the least.
But in a 5-4 decision handed down Tuesday morning, the justices made it clear that they had taken the unprecedented step of stripping Mr. Gore of his Oscar because President Bush deserved it more.
“It is true that Al Gore has done a lot of talking about global warming,” wrote Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority. “But President Bush has actually helped create global warming.”
In another setback for the former vice president, a group of scientists meeting in Oslo, Norway today said that Mr. Gore was growing at an unsustainable rate.
“The polar ice caps may be shrinking, but Al Gore is clearly expanding,” said Dr. Hiroshi Kyosuke of the University of Tokyo.
The scientists concluded that if Mr. Gore continues to expand at his current rate, he could cause the earth to spin off its axis by 2010, sending it hurtling into the sun.
“Here’s an inconvenient truth,” Dr. Kyosuke added. “Al’s got to stay away from those carbs.”
Elsewhere, after foreigners received a record number of Academy Award nominations, CNN anchor Lou Dobbs proposed building a 12-foot high fence around the Kodak Theater.

Stuff to do!
Since I am moving out of the area soon, I'm making a list of activities and places in the DC area that I haven't done/been to yet, but always wanted to.
-I just realized the the Air & Space Museum not only has an IMAX, but they have a Planetarium too (duh)! From the sounds of it, its quite a nifty planetarium too :)
-Go to Ben's Chili Bowl. Its infamous and in DC and I've never been. Shame on me. (Plus I gotta see if it beats Vienna Inn's infamous dog, I've heard mixed reports.)
-Def need to hit up Eastern Market. I've kinda wanted to do some meat and cheese shopping, but I've been waiting for a nice day. Of course, when it is nice out I'm broke and I figure, whats the point?!
-Have high tea at the National Cathedral.
-Go to PX. An unmarked bar in an old speakeasy fashion with what sounds like a terrific bar menu.
-And the Eighteenth Street Lounge. Another hidden hangout.
-Go to Hains Point and see The Awakening sculpture.
-Hit up Tryst for a full afternoon of coffee shop atmosphere.
-Skyline Caverns (or some sort of cavern), Monticello, Natural Bridge, Natural Chimneys to name a few things down south. Realistically, these trips won't happen before I leave.
-Drag Bingo!
Okay, thats all I got right now. My head is starting to hurt. Any suggestions?

Anyone stay up for the Oscars last night? I did. It was mildly entertaining (as usual), but I joined an Oscar pool this year so I had an invested interest in this years winners. The only movie I saw that was nominated was Little Miss Sunshine so my picks were random and I lose. I'm used to never winning these pools anyways. I don't know why I keep throwing my money away...especially when I'll be unemployed in less than two months!
Anyways, heres some links to different things I found interesting:
-I love a band that names itself Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Btw, that link will take you to a great music site that isn't blocked from my work computer :)
-Who knew charts and graphs could be fun?!
-Virginia sort of apologizes for slavery.
-Speaking of Virginia (haha...isnt this a blog about growing up NoVA?), Jamestown (and the rest of America) is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. You can be a part of the American Extravaganza...woo hoo!!!!
-There are the Oscars and then there are the Razzies. Both entertaining.
-This story is just bizarre.
-Great Rolling Stone article about John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Its pretty old (October), but I just got around to reading it last week. A couple parts I liked:
-Political cartoon of the day:
Thats it for now...if I find something interesting later, I'll add it.
Anyone stay up for the Oscars last night? I did. It was mildly entertaining (as usual), but I joined an Oscar pool this year so I had an invested interest in this years winners. The only movie I saw that was nominated was Little Miss Sunshine so my picks were random and I lose. I'm used to never winning these pools anyways. I don't know why I keep throwing my money away...especially when I'll be unemployed in less than two months!

-Great Rolling Stone article about John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Its pretty old (October), but I just got around to reading it last week. A couple parts I liked:
A fake news show, "The Daily Show," spawned a fake commentator, Colbert, who makes his own fake reality defending the fake reality of a real president, and has government officials on who know the joke but are still willing to be mocked by someone fake. Your shows are like mirrors within mirrors, using a cycle of fakery to get to the truth. You've tapped into a sense in society that nothing, from reality shows to Bushworld, is real anymore. Do you guys ever get confused by your hall of mirrors?-St. Patricks Day recipes? I guess theres an appropriate dish for all occasions...I assume the standard ingredient is whiskey.STEWART: I didn't know we were going to have to be high to do this interview.
And.....
STEWART: The other night -- this I loved -- O'Reilly said, "Here's why Kim Jong Il did the nuke test: He's trying to influence the American elections, the same reason Iran is ratcheting up." And I just imagine Kim Jong Il, in all his craziness, going, "Claire McCaskill's down by three points to Jim Talent. Launch the nukes! " O'Reilly's problem is not his ability to form rational arguments, because he's a very smart guy. It's his ego.

I suppose the reason I haven't blogged much recently is that I don't have a whole hell of a lot to talk about. I haven't been going out too much recently and when I have, its usually a disaster (don't ask). For the last few months I was taking over for my co-worker whos been on maternity leave plus still doing all my work, and while that still leaves me some time for internet goofing off, I had moved from my cushy office to a more open area and haven't wanted to risk being caught *gasp* blogging! I'm usually too lazy to blog when I get home cause I'm trying to catch up with the ridiculous TV shows that I let take up about 10-12 hours of my week, time I could be doing something much more proactive, but fuck it, I'm tired and want to invest myself in the characters of The OC rather than have to deal with my own crap.
Its the usual ups and down that I suppose (and HOPE!) many people go through. One week you've been in such a great mood. You get your bills paid on time, you return phone calls, get out of the house and experience something new, put your clothes in the hamper and wash them when it gets full. Then there are those days where you might not feel like getting out of bed so you just lie around watching kiddie and tween movies all day, you put your phone on silent, and go invisible on instant messenger, and the only person you talk to is your cat.
I digress....
I don't know if I really have a point here other than just ramblings. I like to think of myself as being pretty proactive, the kind of person who likes to go out there and try and make a difference instead of just waiting for someone else to do it. Other times, I feel like the rest of my generation. Apathetic to just about everything and "waiting for the world to change" on its own.
Well, we probably have Nirvana and the whole rest of the Grunge phase to thank for that.
Now I must heat up my Minestrone Soup and hope that something exciting and news worthy happens while I'm in my afternoon meeting so I have a reason to watch the evening news. I'm sick of all this Anna Nicole BS.

I'm running out of time in the work day so I'm just going to post a few quickie links of interest. There isn't much going on this weekend that I know of. I have Happy Hour in t-minus 60 minutes(or less) at Fridays and Saturday night I'm going to my friend Megans birthday party. On Sunday my roommate and I may hit up the infamous Ben's Chili Bowl in the U Street Corridor. I've only been in that area to go to Black Cat which was formerly The Cage. Ahh...The Cage. I have found memories of using my fake id to get in there on Friday nights back in high school. I probably never even had more than half a rum and coke when I went there (the only drink I knew cause my parents drank it), but it was the thrill of getting into a 21+ club at age 17.
-Coincidentally, the ever wonderful Middle Distance Runner is playing at the Black Cat Saturday night on the main stage. They just got a bunch of their equipment stolen in Brooklyn recently so they could really use your $$.
-Read a great blog earlier about a squirrel sneaking into a DC house scarring the bejezus out of one of the tenants.
-I didn't realize Obama was a smoker. I also heard something about him confessing about substance abuse in his book. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I wouldn't be surprised if he did have an issue in the past. Cause you know, all of us cigarette smokers are secretly heroin addicts as well. At least every non-smoker looks at us like we're shooting heroin when we light up within 10 feet of them (especially at Sweet Water Tavern in Merrifield).
-The Real World DC style.
-My mom will be very upset to hear that Passions has been cancelled.
Ok well thats it for this week folks, unless I get the urge to post something this weekend (highly doubtful). I'm off to my Happy Hour(s) at Fridays. Oh and thats Fridays IN Tysons, not the Toilet Bowl one, cause if you didn't hear, that one closed last week. Its amazing. It was my favorite place to love to hate (besides Clarendon Ballroom). I will always remember how no matter what day of the week or what time of day, I always recognized a fellow high school classmate or other random person I knew from a friend of a friend. There was always someone talk to there and catch up with. Aaaaand....I'm over it :) The new Fridays in Tysons is so much nicer and well lit. And you can't beat the Happy Hour(s) specials!
$2 draft beers
$3 cosmos, LITs, mojitos, margaritas, rum & cokes, and some other mixed drinks
1/2 price appetizers
ROCK!
Have a fab weekend :)

Belated Martin Luther King Day tribute doubles as the Political Cartoon of the Week.
This week I was a complete stress ball and I'm really looking forward to the weekend. Not that work is stressing me out right now, actually it's been pretty quiet with people being in and out of the office a lot this week. Its just personal crapola that's got me stressin. I'm a believer that negative things occur in threes (with me having three strikes in the last three months or so), but add life altering decisions to the mix and you've got the weight of Chicago Bears linebacker on your shoulders. Miraculously, I'm having little to no back problems.
I just received an email from the Arlington Young Democrats in the form of a State of the Union watching party. I love it when people have a sense of humor about politics (see left).
I was excited to hear that Senator Jim Webb will be delivering the Democratic rebuttle to Bush's State of the Union. It is the second year in a row a Virginia Democrat has been chosen to give the rebuttle, with Governor Tim Kaine being the first to do so last year. There are talks that Virginia could become a swing state in the 2008 election, which would be pretty exciting. The usual Right-leaning state has elected two Democratic Governors in a row and just put a Democrat in the Senate against all odds. Could Virginia being turning Blue???
I'll leave you with this Public Service Announcement and be back later with linky goodness:

For this weeks "whats happenin" I'll just start off with an email that I sent to a few friends about our weekend activities:
Hey guys! Just wanted to holla and wish you all a Happy Hump Day :)
What are your plans for this weekend? Friday night I'm going to TT's to see Rachel's first performance with her new band Full Minute of Mercury (you can find them on The Space). The show starts at 9 (supposedly) and is $5 to get it. I know Ashley and Lindsay already expressed interest in going....Derin, Jesse...you down?
She also has a show at DC9 on Saturday which is an EXCELLENT venue kinda close to the 9:30 club, but I'm not sure I want to hit that up two nights in a row. I was thinking it might be fun to go to the Draft House or something though. Little Miss Sunshine & Stranger Than Fiction is playing on Saturday night. ALSO.......if I'm feeling adventurous I may hit up Iota during the day (around 2ish) to see a couple bands, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and Harry and the Potters. Uff.........I just saw that one is $10 so I may not go, but who knows.
I guess that's it. Anyone want to join me for any of these events or have some other super plans? I'm not really in the mood to work today (as you might be able to tell!). Have a lovely day all!
XOXO
Lucy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So anyways, that's what I plan on doing this weekend. If any of it actually gets done will remain to be seen. If Rachel reads this, please don't think I don't WANT to hear your beautiful voice two nights in a row...I just need to watch the cash flow and I know TTs will be a show in more ways than one ;)
Some other stuff going on in the aire-uh (in gangstah voice):
-Bush is making a televised speech tonight to allegedly unveil his plan to increase the number of US troops in Iraq. Obviously, there is going to be protests going on...this is DC. Heres a list of from the emails I've gotten so far (I don't think I'll be attending any of them, but I support their causes):
Pennsylvania Avenue & Jackson Pl, NW
11 Jan 06:00 PM
MoveOn will be holding signs that state "NO ESCALATION IN IRAQ" and "Wrong way to bring our troops home". We will be chanting "no escalation" themes. If you attended the event last week and kept your signs, bring em' back!!! DC for Democracy is also sponsoring a candlelight vigil to oppose President Bush's call for a troop surge in Iraq. There will be a reading of the names of Iraq War casualties from the DC area, some brief speeches, followed by the candlelight vigil.

-Cartoon America: : Highlights From the Art Wood Collection of Cartoon and Caricature exhibit at the Library of Congress. Its free and going on through Feb. 24. Sounds like a must for comic fans.
-David Lynch will be in town at the Round House Theatre in Bethesda at 6pm. He will be discussing his new book, "Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness and Creativity." The event appears to be sold out. For some fun watch David Lynch's daily weather report on his website.

New Years Resolutions for 2007
1. Update this blog more often! I found I was a lot more in the "know" about DC happenings when writing this blog just from looking up material. A lot of times I've heard or read about something and think it would be great material for a blog here, but I'm too lazy or too busy to write one out and then I forget about my brilliant idea(s).
2. Try to do one new thing a week or at least twice a month. There is so much to experience in this great world other than lying in bed watching reruns of The Office or going to the same old bar every Saturday night.
3. Quit smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried this in the fall and was pretty successful with a little wonder drug called Chantix. Then back in November, I ran short of money to buy my perscription and the shit hit the fan in my personal life so I'm back to a pack a day. It disgusts me. If I have to get a second job just to pay for those pills it will be worth it!
4. Quit spending $$ on frivilous things...try to save. This means no more impulse shopping at H&M and Forever 21. No $50 tabs from a night out in Arlington. No cabs when I can just as easily walk or take the bus. And finally, getting a bank account! (no I dont have one...dont bug me about it please.)
5. Keep in touch with people outside my small social circle. Normally, I only hang out with about five different people or so and I've been totally ok with that for quite some time now, but I'm starting to feel guilty about those I've caught up with from MySpace, but have neglected to try to get coffee/a drink/see a show/whatever with any of them. Also, I'm getting bored (not with my friends...just in general). I need new experiences to keep me on my toes (preferably cheap or FREE experiences!)
5. Read more. Right now I'm finishing up The Devil in the White City which was quite a page turner. It made me remember how much I love to read and why I've been wasting my weekend afternoons watching reality shows on MTV. Also on my list of books to read is Special Topics in Calamity Physics, Marie Antoinette: The Journey, Isaac's Storm, and many others.
6. Take my career more seriously. Figure out what the hell I REALLY want to do and take some classes at NOVA to get on track for an Associates Degree (at the very least). Dr. Phil says: "I want you to get excited about your life!"
7. KEEP AND ACCOMPLISH THESE RESOLUTIONS! If Dwight can do it 8 years in a row, I think I can accomplish six goals in a years time.
