It’s good enough for me

I forget how a day of sobriety makes me tap into my dreams so vividly.

Last night, I dreamt that I was buying health insurance from Starbucks. Oh, and then I ordered a cappuccino, and the barista made me an ICED cappuccino. It was magic. Then I was walking back to my apartment, and it had disappeared. My entire building was gone. My friends and I walked up and down the street, but the building was nowhere to be found. Like Harry Potter. Finally, we opened a random door, and found an inverted 1016 Stoop. And that’s when I woke up.

So maybe this proverbial house of cruising and boozing went up in smoke after just a day of sobriety. Or maybe I’m anxious about leaving this place in 2 weeks.

But the iced cappuccino…that was the strangest.

2010 Resolutions!

In 2010, I will…

1.  Give, Give, Give, Give, Give.  “The more I give to the universe, the more it will give to me.  If I do/say/create more, the small things will get smaller and the big things will get bigger.” The important things will float to the top of the primordial soup of my life if I put a little fire under it!  SOW MORE, REAP MORE.

2.  Learn a new language: French, Japanese, HTML

3.  Give one facebook wall post, one text, one email, and one phone call every week.

4.  Stop eating foods of questionable origin (Mcdonalds).  Also, cut back on products with corn syrup.

5.  Write something every day.

6.  Write a song.  Or 100.

7.  Further my education in music.  Piano, theory, history, composition, voice.

8.  Be kind to my body.  Look nice, smell nice, eat well, exercise, limit binge drinking, smoke little, overcaf less.  Be kind to my mind. Read, do puzzles, write, talk.  Be kind to my soul.  Be truthful, reflect on my actions, surround myself with beauty.

9.  Use my time on the internet wisely.  Don’t just consume, produce.

10.  (leave some space for growth and new ideas.  know that nothing is ever complete)

11.  Forget all this bullshit, listen to my gut, and DO WHAT THE FUCK I WANT TO DO!
