The World is Probably Coming to an End

The first post of 2011. I hope everybody had a great holiday and New Year! Let’s all hope that we really live it up in 2011 because everybody knows that the world is coming to an end in 2012. How unfortunate for us.

The first week of 2011 has been a mixed bag for me. It started off with a great New Year where I got to meet and hang out with old friends. Then, I found my favorite “Wriststrong” bracelet – which I haven’t seen in years. After that, it was all downhill. The Phoenix Suns lost to the Sacramento Kings. If you don’t follow basketball, this is essentially like Justin Bieber losing a hair competition to Lex Luthor. Then, in an ironic turn of events, my Wriststrong bracelet snapped as I tried to put it on. If this isn’t a sign of our impending doom, you are a clearly not a belieber. Or believer.

Ironic

So I decided to make 2011 a year of resolutions. I’ve never been a big fan of them because well…they’re sort of stupid. How many people have actually kept their resolutions for more than a few short weeks? HOWEVER, I figured, by announcing it to this blog and the internets, maybe it will help keep me accountable. So before I divulge my inner most insecurities and resolutions, how about a story.

I couldn’t find a good picture for story time. Sorry.

Something I realized at church this week is that I always seem to come away with a message, but rarely the one that the speaker intended. For example, I was browsing my notes and this is a serious comment that I wrote down: “flexing spiritual muscles”. I have no idea what the sermon was about or what I exactly meant by that, but I’m pretty sure working out or muscles had nothing to do with it. Anyway, so with this in mind:

I forget what the sermon was about last Sunday (I didn’t fall asleep, seriously – for those that go to RCCC with me this may be hard to believe) but I do remember coming out feeling like I needed to make a change. College – and probably me -- has not been good to my body. I blame RU Grill (seriously, try the Fat RU Grill one day. O-MAH-GUD) and Yummy, Yummy (it’s Yummy x2). I’ve tried my best this past semester to work out everyday, but once I stopped my routine, it became near impossible to start up again. Then there’s the constant barrage of bubble tea, Mickey D’s runs, and other delicious nomnom’s.

Not me

I am a firm believer in “better late than never.” So I have decided on two goals over the next 100 days. My first will be to lose 30 pounds in 100 days. I know from my past attempts that this will not be easy, but it’s something I want to do. My next goal, which I have already started, is to read the Bible in 90 days. Now, I understand that these resolutions aren’t New Year’s resolutions, more like New 1/4th Year’s resolutions. Well, after those 100 days are over, I will find something else to resolute about and together we will make 2011 the year of fulfilled resolutions.

“I JUST FARTED” is what he said. Probably.

So those are a few things that will be keeping me occupied for the next 3-4 months. One thing that I definitely have realized during this break is that…I am bored. For something I looked forward to for so long, I find myself bored a lot.

So in order to help me fight that boredom, let me know what your New Year’s resolutions are! If you don’t have any, then uh…watch an Asian Kill Bill in an oddly addicting Japanese commercial. Then, comment and let me know what you think about my resolutions! Or what you thought about that awesome video.

I can’t stop watching it. Damn you.

So to keep me accountable to my next post, here’s a sneak peak!

1. I will be talking about my embarrassing experience with a phone representative.
2. I will link you to a friend’s blog – I’ve been reading this blog for a while now and it’s really cool. He/she has no idea this is coming, but I know you’re a reader!
3. I have come across some interesting pictures during my time at Rutgers and so I will reveal my first one!

Until then, here are some door lasers.
