Should old acquaintance be forgot? <\/em>No, but 2011 should. Happy New Year. I’m so relieved the holidays are over. Can I have my life back now?<\/p>\n

Unlike amitious troubadour Woody Guthrie, I have one resolution. Kick ass. Write! Honour it. That ability. I have so much writing to do.<\/p>\n

I don’t have to remind myself to bathe, brush my teeth, wear clean clothes, look good, change socks and bed clothes often, but they are sound resolutions. I do need to work more efficiently. In fact, I must overcome paralysis. Isolation. Wake up and fight!<\/em> Inertia. Embrace my process, engage in process. Process!<\/p>\n

I will quit crap; viewing, reading and eating. Read lots good books.<\/em> Play guitar dammit. Cultivate some discipline. I may be at my fighting weight but still need to get tough. Get fit. Get off Facebook. Work on my website. Have company but don’t waste time.<\/em> Ditch those that drag me down. Love everybody. <\/em>Oh, and since it’s nearly one minute to midnight in terms of finding my biological father, I must make efforts to solve that mystery. Learn people better.<\/em> Especially thyself. Also, no more sadness, anger, grief. I will forgive, freeing myself in the process, and thus unburdened, unhindered, go so much farther. Onward and upward. The only way to go. Keep hoping machine running.<\/em> In all ways, kick ass.
