Happy 2008, year of the Rat!
It's been quite the ride, gained new friends and lost contact with others. The crowning achievement of the passing year is the "nerd cred" I gained from what started as a seemingly absurd hobby. I mean, how was I to know that there would be other fine folks out there who love black velvet paintings of video games? (Oh, I finished a quick painting right before the end of last year. Gaze into the hypnotic power of the velvet painting!)

I seem to have "willpower." Using this "willpower" I managed to stay true to last years resolution (stay the hell off Fark.com...I found I was wasting the better part of my free time on that site and needed it gone). I will harness this "willpower" to uphold this years resolutions:
-Get my ass to Gold's Gym.
-Spend less time surfing garbage Web sites - focus on writing a novel.
-Paint enough largeish black velvet, video game paintings to be hung at a non-Dapper Lounge location in town.
-No more crap sweets and garbage food. I'm looking at you, Papa John's and Coldstone Creamery!
-Go out more (dance and local bands).

Here's to another year of verbally rambling on about my exploits and reading all of yours! Cheers, LJ friends!
