Making Sense of The Nonsensical**Originally posted Jan. 7**

Wow. It's Friday already…this year is flying by.

A new year (2011) offers a fresh start and brings about a few changes - of underwear (Thanks, Mom) -and you’re ready to make a difference in your life. However, by now (a week in) you’ve forgotten about your resolution – if you bothered to make one at all – and the idea of turkey probably makes you vomit. Unless you’re still eating leftovers, in which case that is what’s making you vomit…please stop.

Now that this first week of 2011 is over, I feel like I can begin to focus a little more on things – I’m getting glasses soon – and get out of that “holiday” mindset. A man gets used to sitting around in his PJs watching movies and eating only chocolate, candy and chocolate-covered candy. It’s hard to go back to work after all that; hell, it’s hard to do anything after that. Take this blog for example: I have no idea what I’m trying to write about; my mind keeps wandering….

Below are examples of posts I began, but have yet to finish because of the holiday lethargy (they show insight into my thought process with regard to writing):

“I had an interesting conversation this morning…*something, something*… computers make me sound smart, but feel dumb…”

“Remakes are big business in Hollywood…*something, something*…True Grit…”

“There’s a lot to look forward to this year: music; the Super Bowl; NHL Playoffs; summer….beating Russia at The World Junior Championship…”

…that last one turned into this post. I’m gradually gaining focus.

Anyway, here’s to a new year: may you figure out your goals before it’s 2012… that’s when the Mayans will make your goals for you.

Cheers,
-Crash-

Coming up: the completion of at least one of those “other” blog posts (mentioned above). Hey! That could be my resolution: I will finish those blog posts this year. Oh man, 2011 is gonna be productive.

P.S. Here’s 10 seconds of the music I’m most looking forward to in 2011: Foo Fighters - White Limo
