Yeah it’s nice to have a dick as a friend though…keeps my bitchiness on track.

Actually, it turns out that I may be sabotaging myself by making my resolutions public. I recently read that people who make their resolutions publicly are often less likely to complete them. Something about how talking about doing something has a similar psychological effect to actually doing the thing.

I dunno. We’ll see what happens. I’m on track for most of these so far but, then again, it’s still early January.

This is a good idea : ). I made a resolution yesterday night to drop useless writing, and write usefully…here goes!

Mara, I love the analogy about telling the dentist that you’re going to floss. I’m the same way (aren’t we all?). Hopefully, I won’t be the same way with my resolutions.

And, you’re right, I think they are pretty easy to achieve. It’s just a matter of actually sticking to them and following through.

I’ve decided that I will not make any more new year’s resolutions anymore. They are just that: resolutions and in my case never come to anything. It’s like the thing I tell my dentist every year: I promise I will try to remember to floss. In other words: not going to happen.

Good luck with your resolutions (which by the way, sound quite easy to fulfill and since I only know you in blogland, even the last sounds easy!)

Happy 2010

Nah, see, when I say that I’m a dick I don’t mean talking smack and whatever. I mean just being an outright asshole to people. I don’t think you’ve ever seen me in a genuinely bad mood. But, when I am, I take it out on people who don’t deserve it. Plus, I can be kind of a passive aggressive douche sometimes.

I don’t say this because I’m proud of it. This isn’t Bukowski talking about how much of an asshole he is because it makes him look like a tough guy. This is me saying, “Yeah, I’m not a very nice guy sometimes.”

As for what you say about Sara, I suspect it’s pretty much the same as what you say in front of her and I, except for more crude. I mean, deny it as you might, you do have some level of class when you’re around other people.

I still think it’s kinda adorable that you claim to be a dick. Really around me you just encourage my dickish nature and laugh along…which is why I don’t talk horrible shit about you behind your back; seriously I talk shit about everyone.

You should hear the stuff I say about Sara….man-o-man.
