So today I feel motivated. I am unsure why, since I am thoroughly depressed and sick to boot, but I am terribly motivated to get some things in motion. Maybe it is the weight of tradition pressing down on me. After all, January 1st is traditionally the day of the year people resolve to do things that better themselves. I do not usually take part in such silly traditions because I recognize that resolutions made for the sake of tradition are the ones that are destined for failure. In order to make a resolution stick you have to make it because you really feel it and because it is something you really want.
Still, motivation has hit me today, and I am not going to pass up an opportunity to do things I have been putting off while I have the will to do it. I have business mail in an envelope ready to go out; I have paper and pen at the ready for writing letters and scrolls (yes, I said it: scrolls); and I am ready to get in some serious research on a job that I want. Business e-mails are ready to be sent and chores are about to commence.
These are the kinds of resolutions worth doing--the ones you do because you know you want to and because wanting it for the sake of wanting it and not for the sake of that is what I am supposed to do this time of year means I can actually get it done. I make small resolutions throughout the year, and I think I am better off for it.
Hop to, 2012. Kick 2011s ass.

I don't make new year's resolutions, or when I do it' something mocking. Good luck with the new prospects and the new year!
I noticed that today on Facebook, Mr. Vice!
Ha. All the stuff people were putting up was getting annoying so I decided a little honesty was in order. I'll actually keep my resolution!
