Resolutions 2023

Is this accurate? 2023? It still feels like 2020, the year that never ended. I’m not even sure what I should plan for this year considering how insane life has been. Pandemics and white supremacist insurrections and a spoiled manbaby wrecking a social network because people are mean to him on there (seriously, did you hear about the person who couldn’t delete their twitter so they turned it into a M*sk parody account and it got insta-banned???). It’s all kind of surreal. Whoever is writing this thing needs to get off the drugs. Because they are on, like, all of them.
 
I guess I should make some resolutions or whatever.
 
1. Keep looking for ways to promote my web serial (I am so, so bad at this).
 
2. Write the second part of that web serial.
 
3. Finish the new web serial project I’ve been working on (less seriously, I don’t have much of a plan for this one).
 
4. Write something else. Not sure what. I’m just assuming this will happen at some point.
 
5. Find a new social media to be active on since twitter is being slowly murdered. So far, Mastodon seems too complicated and Hive too shaky. There’s Tumblr, of course, but it’s, well, Tumblr. If you want to communicate entirely in Supernatural memes, it’s the place for you.
 
6. Work on losing some weight. Probably not going to happen, but I can try.
 
7. Start reading some new books. For the past few years, the only new things I’ve read have been graphic novels/comics, so I’d like to get back to reading some word novels again.
 
I also need to keep better track of my resolutions this year. I totally forgot to do a mid-year check in during 2022. Whoops!
 
What are you hoping for this year?

December 31

I swear, “This year couldn’t possibly be any worse than the last” isn’t a challenge.

New Year, New Problems

Trust me, you don’t want to know.

Remember when Y2K was a thing and people were all like, “We should have bunkers to hide away in!”? We should do that again. Except not because of Y2K. Just… just in general.

New Year 2016

Remember all the raspberry rum floating up there in space? I posted about it on the first day of the year—whoops! I mean last year! Ugh, it’s 2016 already?

Now I’m starting to think that it’s not nearly enough alcohol.

2015

This was me at the beginning of 2014. And now it’s 2015…

Seriously, that’s true. It was one of my random thoughts last year. I mean, two years ago, in 2013. Two whole freaking years.

Damn it. I got myself depressed all over again.

2014

It's 2014. I think my feelings can be summed up by the following stick figure comic:

Back to real posts on Saturday.

Happy New Year and good luck in 2014.

Random Thoughts

---LIFEHACK: Lifehack is the new Protip.

---Why does vitamin water have so many calories?

---There’s no statute of limitations on tax fraud in the United States. I’d keep that in mind when you start collecting receipts for your taxes.

---An elephant is learning Korean. AN ELEPHANT IS LEARNING KOREAN. It’s not the apes that are going to take over the planet, it’s the freaking elephants. Thanks a lot, South Korea. The impending overthrow of humanity is on your shoulders.

---Truman Capote called IN COLD BLOOD a “non-fiction novel”. He said it, not me.

---Granted, I learned this on Wikipedia, but apparently the plural of Prius is Prii. I’m not even sure how to react to that.

---“Sony to cease production of cassette players in 2013!” Thousands exclaim: “Wait, those things still exist?”

---I’ll be over here with my durable iPod and the hundreds of songs, pictures and videos it can hold, thank you.

---There’s a spider that builds decoys of other, bigger spiders. Screw the talking elephant. THIS is what’s going to kill us.

---Really Instagram? You think you can change your terms of service to allow them to use your pictures for commercial purposes and you think that’s going to give you an edge?

---The reaction was bad enough that they actually changed the wording again. Considering how hard it is to even get a small company to notice a complaint, they must’ve lost a f**kton of subscribers.

---F**kton: equal to 4 sh!ttons.

---“The Hobbit dwarfs box office rivals”. Okay, BBC. How long have you been holding onto that pun?

---Happy New Year! Just three more days and we can all forget about our resolutions again.
