New Year New You

Here we are a few weeks into the new year. The hang over is gone. The STD and pregnancy tests have come back negative. The dust has finally settled after the big fandango and life is back to usual, but why?

The passing from one year to the next should be more than another excuse to cut loose and drink your guts out. It should and could stand as a threshold, a door into a new time, a new you. Well this year I am doing just that, taking it seriuosly. For the last few years I have been coasting through life on a heavy train with biscuit wheels. Ambitionless, aside from the drive to get more ass or more wasted. I don't regret this time. Hell, it has been two wonderful years. Times I will always remember. I have made friends I will always cherish. I have been with women who touched all parts of me, including my heart. I regret none of this and that is the point. It is time to let the old me finally burn down to ash. Now, instead of, this year, throwing more fuel on the same fire I am letting that Daniel go and see what rises from the remains. This year isn't a dog or a rat or even a dragon. It is a Phoenix. I am taking it seriously and I hope to inspire others to do the same. This year I am back to work.

That work started with a choice and a set of resolutions that I honestly plan on following. I have tried to keep it simple. That way it will be easy for my distractable mind to stay on point. With this new destination in mind and A new me I am hoping to build I invite you all along. To grow and change with me or to grow and distance yourself from me. Either I will readily accept so long as it is growth and not bitterness. Iit isn't the destination that is important but the journey at hand. I am just happy to have been in your company at some point on the trip. Good luck and best wishes to you all in the new year. I love you all and believe firmly that we are all part of one another and from this point forward we are all irrevocablly tied to one another through the contact we have shared. No matter how large or small thank you for your contribution.
