I believe that the new year is a time for new beginnings. So, in honor of that, I have decided to revamp my blog. Although I do love my tumblr, I have decided that I need a space to write longer posts about things that I experience.
First let me review with you, the reader, my 2009 New Year's Resolution. It is one overall resolution that breaks down into a series of very specific things to accomplish. Here goes...
Be More Selfish
While this sounds like the antithesis of a New Year's Resolution (and it kind of is) allow me some time to break it down for you. My outcome with this resolution is to actually become a better person, take more time for myself, and make myself into the person I really want to be. Let's just be honest here for a minute- I work A LOT and I know I work a lot. And seriousy...my job does not pay me enough to care the way I do. And often my personal life suffers. And I have become a person that I no longer wish to be. So, this year I am taking steps to overcome the struggles I have had in 2008 to be more like the person I WAS and the person I wish to become.
Broken down, my New Year's Resolution includes:
1. Working less - I resolve to leave work on time! I will not stay late unless required. And I will not stay late more than once a week.
2. Spending more time on things I love - I have set a goal for myself to read at least 40 books this year. I read 24 books in 2008 and wish to up it to 40 for 2009. I want to see more movies (aka actually use the Netlix that I pay for). I want to read more magazines. I want to visit more historical sites. I want to spend more time with friends.
3. Taking better care of myself - I actually did a decent job at this resolution from last year: I went to the doctor, eye doctor, dentist, joined a gym, and lost ten pounds! But, I need to spend more time, make a more conscience effort to take care of myself. Even if it is as simple as making sure I get enough sleep every night.
So, that's that!
This blog is a place for me to share with you, my readers, my experiences with this resolution. I will tell you about movies I see, books I read, friends I spend time with, and places I visit.
Get Excited!

That's lookin' pretty good, Kipston. I support your efforts and have some similar goals myself. I hope the "spend more time with friends" part means you'll come out to New York again soon...or move to the East Coast so we can spend EVERY WAKING MINUTE TOGETHER FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY.
apparently Anna is a vampire. and a clownpenis.
So I get to hear from you more. Yay. :)
And I think being selfish to work on the self is toooootally New-Year's-resolution-worthy. :)
you're due for writing in here, yo.
