I find that recently I have been trying more and more to keep friends in my life who seem to not really need my friendship . I feel slighted if I find them walking away from me, and I have never been like that before. I was always the “Oh, well. Screw ‘em” guy. Now I feel like a failure if people decide to move on. That’s what friendships are, though. Some last a while, some…not so much.

I’ve been working on my New Year’s resolutions since the days of 2007 are getting short. Here is what I have come up with so far:

1) Be willing to let go of the things and people that are not meant to be in your life

2) Don’t waste your time loving the wrong people. Sounds a lot like number one, but it isn’t.

3) Get your passport.

4) Use passport mentioned above to visit the places you promised yourself you would visit in 2008

5) Finish the screenplay you’ve been promising yourself you would finish by May. (the first draft anyway)

6) Continue enjoying life. Don’t embrace pessimism.

7) Vote!!!

Seduce and wed Rev Run’s daughter Vanessa (it could happen!)

9) Get a friggin’ car alarm (more on that later)

10) Return to San Francisco (and if possible, find the crazy lady that verbally accosted me and kick her in the shin)
