New Year’s Resolutions 2006

So, just about every blogger has their mandatory “New Year’s Resolutions” entry. I didn’t do one until now because I generally keep my resolutions for less than a week and then give up on them completely.

For whatever reason, I’ve actually managed to keep mine for more than half a month now, so I’ll mention them for the sake of posting some more than once a month.

  • I’ve been trying to get into shape, so I’ve been working out every other day. So far, it’s actually working–my depression has been almost eliminated (did you know that exercise affects neurotransmitter levels in the brain? Look it up.); I look better; and my running speed has increased dramatically. This morning I ran two miles, lifted weights, then ran two more miles. I’m planning on competing in a duathlon (run 2miles, bike 15, run 2) in May, but I feel like I’m ready for it now. I’ve run 22 miles so far this year.
  • I’ve been trying to mediate more. So far, I’ve mediated for a couple hours total. Not bad.
  • Crush the world’s governments beneath my heel and rule on high. (Needs work.)

New Phone

I finally bought a new phone. The one I had is an incredible piece of shit, and I’m thrilled to be rid of it. I’m trying to decide if I should dispose of it via smashing, disassembly, or baseball bat. Right now, I’m thinking disassembly.

I’ve been living in the 608 area code for a year and half now, and I decided not to transfer my 262 number. 262 is also a local exchange in Madison (as in, 608-262-xxxx), so it was a pain in the ass every time I told someone my phone number.

Also, there are a number of people who still have my old phone number that I’d prefer never to speak to again.

I’m not posting my new phone number here for obvious reasons, but you can call my old number up until the thirtieth to get my new number.

Still moving.

Still moving.

Still have nothing of any importance to say.

However, when you move out and have divots in your carpeting from having furniture sit on it, take an ice cube and place it in the depression. As the ice cube melts, the pile of the carpeting will rise. After it’s gone, fluff the area with your fingertips and it’s good as new.
