New Years Resolutions!!! OMG!!!

Oh my God, you guys, 2011 is almost over and I have RESOLUTIONS!

“But resolutions are an empty gesture meant for glad-handing in an echo chamber. Real people who want to change don’t wait for blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah.”

– Miserable Fuck on the Internet

MFI: Shut up already. Nobody’s convinced or impressed with your attempt to appear superior.

Anyways, HERE GOES:

1. Get more stand-up gigs in 2012. Specifically, get down to NYC. Because folks, real talk: it ain’t gonna happen in the Capital Region, dig? I had this conversation with a comic who was complaining about how you can’t make a living around here. Well, right. You have to go to NYC, LA, and/or travel.
2. Fight in an amateur kickboxing bout. This MIGHT happen in February.
3. Get down to NYC more often. Obviously I need to do this for exposure and work in front of real crowds, but more than that, I need to see my little nephew Caden and his mom & dad (my brother and sister-in-law) more often, along with BFFs Brian and Marla. We did not see nearly enough of each other in 2011.
4. Run in a 10k race.
5. Go on more dates. Real ones.
6. Learn some basic Jiu-Jitsu.
7. Finish a novel.
8. Write a letter to Marc Maron.
9. See more concerts.
10. Lose the love handles. 

Annnnnnnd scene. So long, 2011, you pepper-spraying topsy-turvy false-confidence-instilling son of a bitch.
