2011: A Resolution

I enjoy writing this blog. I did not start writing the blog, though, just to have fun.

I started doing it, iirc:

1. To practice my writing.
2. To document my life.
3. To get mad play.

While number three might never come to pass (although, now that I think of it... hehe), the blog definitely can do numbers one and two... 

But I have to write.

I had 60 blog entries last year. Five a month. Not too bad.

BUT... I only wrote three in the last three months combined, and two of them are lame-ass blogs that have nothing to do with adventures in my life.

So. The new year. People sometimes make resolutions, and I'm not really a "resolutions" guy. It might be said that I prefer to leave things unresolved.

This year, though? I considered three resolutions:

1. Austerity measures in my personal life.
2. Flossing regularly.
3. Writing a specific number of blogs as a minimum.

The first one, as I thought about it last night/this morning after a considerable amount of rum, would involve drinking less, spending less, being alone more, etc., etc. Basically personal changes that would, if implemented at a societal level, cause riots in Europe.

I've reconsidered that one.

BUT... I will floss at least twice a week (which would be a lot for me). 

AND... I will write at least 100 blogs this calendar year.

That's fewer than two a week. Fewer blog entries than flossings.

I think I can do it, and I hope that I write at least 100 things that are worth reading... and not just for me. Because while I started off with that original list (or something akin to it) I appreciate that I have friends and acquaintances and strangers that take the time to occasionally read my ramblings and I don't want to let you down.

Happy 2011.

Here's one blog entry in the bank.
