Happy New Year

Of Lists and the New Year

Happy New Years and welcome to 2017! Now that I have woken you up, it's time to discuss our plans to tackle this hell ride of a year, despite the fact I'm not the most social butterfly out of the bunch. This year, I don't want to make resolutions. This year I want to scream out the choices I made and embrace without a single drop of regret. This would be the time where we all go; "Let's list down how we are going to loose weight!" or "Let's list down on how we are going to be successful!". Well let me break this down for you.

You're still starting from the bottom as an impatient son of a **tch. Many of you are students who have no idea what to do in life or beginning a new semester. We don't know how things are going to turn out for us during this brand new year. We are in the 'where the hell do I go' stage without a course of action. The only way I see any of us changing for this brand new year is to take baby steps.

Baby steps are going to allow us to think and plan, but still spring at the chance when we get one. We should write down our decisions and keep at it. It like writing a novel for a set date. If you make minor goals, then you would succeed. I am guilty of being in the lazy aspect of this equation, yet I'm willingly to attempt making minor goals if people around me are going too. I want to be healthy, I want to be stable, but those are all long term goals. I feel as so, we should be making goals for the small side and come out with huge achievements to kick some real world ass.

For this coming year, who know what is going to happen to any of us. Lists and insignificant goals are too much of an hassle to focus on when we got the now to worry about. We need the lessons of 2016 to make us stronger and lists won't do that. I personally think that its time to not focus on goals we won't do and focus on taking the leap of faith with the important stuff carrying us forward.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
