December 28, 2008 – Some Resolutions For the Choir
Sunday, December28th, 2008
As the year winds down, I find myself in need of both personal and artistic… renewal. It is that time of the year again, when fat people like myself make random resolutions they have no ambition to keep. I’ll dispense saying things like “I’ll stop sleeping around” and “I won’t eat meat wrapped in meat”… instead I give you:
A few simple plans that should be occupying my time in 2009
- Moving. A new apartment a new neighborhood. Loring Park or Stevens Square are both calling my name.
- Simplify. I am going to try to get rid of 75% of my stuff. That sounds crazy, I know, but I have a hunch that I need exceptionally little. Maybe even nothing. Wouldn’t that be strange?
- Minimalize. Zenhabits is an incredibly inspiring blog that I recommend to anyone that is considering improving their life. The post on “Pushing Your Life’s Reset Button” has me going.
- Sell. I have so much stuff that could benefit somone else right now. Does anyone need rollers for printmaking? Charbonnell inks? How about a Toyota Tacoma that is in perfect shape? A drafting table? Just let me know.
- Save. I spend money on crap, just like every other American. I’m going to actually stop. Who knew that was possible?
- Make. Art. Enough. I need to.
- Dwell. Stay home. I want to make my life a priority… within my life.
That’s it.
