Twigs Spot

Believe it, my blog is no longer on hiatus. Lucky for you.

So. Today is New Years Day.  And as another year begins, along with it comes a chance for change, for improvement, for bigger and better things. Now is the time for self examination, for some much needed introspection, a priority check.  You may find yourself asking the same questions as me: What is important to me? What do I want to accomplish in the next 365 days? What steps can I take towards self actualization and the full realization of my potential? How can I keep my perspective and pursue not only my "money-minded" goals, but also my spiritual goals, and really strive for enlightenment? These are some heavy hitting questions, especially after a night of heavy drinking. Questions that require a lot of thought. And as I rolled out of bed at the crack of 2pm today, I lay there pondering my future, and I found…I wasn’t able to come up with any answers on the spot. In fact, I consciously pushed aside the questions, vowing to return to them later in the day. Which I have yet to do. In fact, I don’t think my new year is off to a very good start…

After finally rolling out of bed, i managed my way to the kitchen where i spent countless seconds deciding between waffles and oatmeal. I chose the former, and as I poured my OJ, my day was off and running. Surely, as the first day of 2006, today would be a sign of things to come, right? Lets hope not. Today has been to this point what I like to refer to as a "nothing day." After the juice pouring, things went downhill, and I lost all ambition. I eyed the bananas, and quickly decided that opening the plastic bag (which was closed with a knot, not a twisty) and the act of peeling it were beyond the scope of my abilities at that time. Surely I’d return to the banana on my trip back to the kitchen to wash my dish. From there I made it back to my room, plopped onto the couch, and flicked on the tv. There I remained for a few hours, not changing the channel, moving only slightly to reach for the phone a few times, where I carried on a few lazy, uninspired conversations. Many thoughts of action crossed my mind; I could go to the store, return movies to blockbuster, take a shower, do some yoga- but each idea was met strict opposition. Eventually i did head to the kitchen, but merely dropping the dish in the sink, and grabbing the mountain dew on my way back to the couch. After hours of nothing, I picked up the guitar and played it-for 6 minutes. I began to loath myself for starting off the year by doing absolutely nothing. I mean, Carpe Diem, right! Which is how I made my way to this computer, and wrote this blog entry. Wow, I feel much better, a wave of satisfaction has washed over me, a sense of accomplishment! I feel as though I am ready to take on the world, to bravely face the new year,to seize my destiny! I just need to have dinner first. Hmmm, nothing to eat here. Guess…I have to…leave the apartment. Damn. That’s it! My New Years Resolution is to live each day fully, not to waste days sitting around being lazy! No more "nothing days" for me!

I can start tomorrow, right?
