Let's talk resolutions

I've become increasingly lazy in my desire to write. Not that I was much of a formal writer, but I always dug writing poems, rhymes and journal entries mainly because there is no pressure on having the correct grammar and all that jazz. I  still try to spell at least half way decent when I can.

So the season of resolutions has started. "Lose weight, get healthy get in shape" (In my father from the Nutty Professor voice) I think most everyone desires that. I decided to say screw that one this year, as 2010 was awesome for me in terms of getting on the fitness bandwagon. I'll return shortly after the resolutioners quit crowding up the gym equipment. My focus instead, will be on my spiritual health. Instead of pushing people away, finding a useful purpose for them in my life. This requires making a halfway decent attempt at getting to know people instead of judging them right off the bat.

The more I get to know myself, the more I want to get to know others. It's like taking apart something and just looking at it's parts and then putting it back together. As we all know,  the first few times you put it together incorrectly but with practice you eventually get it right. I think that process is the same when getting to know someone.  Arguments, disagreements, spats, etc are just ways of taking people apart. If your focus is to simply be right or just to get your point across you're going to put together that person wrong each time and eventually things will fail. But if you take your time and really focus on getting to the know the person the process becomes a little easier and perhaps the arguments are far and few between. Just a little theory I have.


On the eve of the New Year I wrote in my journal that this would be the year of  "Anti-Love" what a crock that was. Love is my damn driving force. I'm more determined that ever to figure this shit out and I know my time is running out. It's only so long you'll be forgiven before you're written off.  Thank the Lord and Thank him for second, third, fourth, fifth, etc chances.
