I decided to make my New Years resolution for 2009 on January 2nd, so I could ensure that I ring in '09 like I did '08, drunk, soused, smashed, trashed, bombed, shitty bombed, hammered, surly, crunked, pissing my pants, blitzed, blasted, and a virgin, anally anyway. It was good to get all that out of my system, because let me tell you, I am a changed man. A few glaring 08' incidents made me realize that it might be just about that time for me to start growing up. I'm not sure if it was the fractured hand, done while in a "shitty bombed" state, the 4 hour drive to Green Bay, completed in varying levels from "smashed", downgrading to "blitzed", transitioning into "drunk", lessening into "buzzed", and rounding out with "pissing my pants", which I still can't explain, or any other weekend where you can plug and chug with the drunk word of the day. So my resolutions are as follows. 1.) Be more professional at work, show up on time for god sakes. I'm not gonna lie, most days I showed up looking like a real shit bag. 8 a.m.? Thats when I'm supposed to be there, but a lot of times that's when I would be getting my ass out of bed. I have a better work ethic than that, I think it's just the fact that I am a bona fide renegade who doesn't take shit from no one! Or I'm just a lazy sack of crap who is well on his way to the unemployment line, but for shits, lets just pretend the renegade thing. 2.) I'm not getting any younger, now is the time to unleash the physical specimen that is trapped beneath all the flab and jiggly stuff. I am nearing 2 weeks complete of a 90 day training program, so I am off to a good start so far. I am also eating better. I did drink about 30 beers this weekend, but I have to take baby steps, and believe me, 30 is actually cutting back. 15 days into 2009 I can say that I am holding strong on my resolutions, it is just a matter of making them habit. I am sure there will be a slip up here and there along the way, which will hopefully include drunken, sloppy intercourse, and hot sizzling White Castle, but I'm just gonna have to pick myself up, dust myself off, and drive to the clinic to ensure the well being of my genitalia.
