Lifestyles of the poor and nameless

This year I made a few resolutions. Here they are:

1. Read the entire Bible (I have yet to do this...this is the 2nd year it's on the list. I made it about halfway last year...then the devil took over.)

2. Don't deal with stupid men. Stated another way: "Don't make anyone a priority if I am merely an option to them." I think I've always known this, but somehow I got sucked into situations that I could have avoided if I truly followed this theory. It starts in the early stages of meeting someone. Don't make excuses for them if they don't fulfill their promises. Recognize their inaction/inattentiveness for the red flag that it is and move on!

3. Write at least one business plan. I think this will be the magazine. I've been talking about it since I was 17. Time to make it happen.

4. Get in prime shape physically. I have been up and down like Luther Vandross with the weight thing. This year I'll be 25. I will finally have money thanks to this job. The least I can do is hire a personal trainer, eat properly and reveal my "inner fox" to the world. If nothing else, at least I'll have good memories when I'm old.

5. Pass the bar or give it up and find another hustle. I am planning to pass the bar next month (I'm only taking NY this time)...but on the off chance that it doesn't happen, I'm giving myself one more try in July. After that, it's curtains on this bar business. I will have to take over the world some other way.

6. Become more socially active--Hang out at least 2 Fridays/Saturdays per month. It only makes sense, right? Why work out and then stay at home? I will have my own place, my own hooptie and some money in my pockets. The weather will be nice. Philly's not too far away. Might as well get out. I can't stay at home and watch the 4 walls every single day. "Hanging out" also includes chillin with friends in NYC or having them come stay with me in PA.
