2009

There is something that seriously bothers me about 2009. Im not sure if its the number itself, the fact that 2008 wasnt necessarily the best year ever, or if Im just being my usual pessimistic self. I guess I probably wont figure out why I get bad vibes from 2009 until the year is over, so for now I shall merely check "Other" and figure that as good a reason as any to dislike this particular one hundredth of the century.
Then again, maybe I am completely wrong (yes, it happens upon occasion). Yesterday and the inauguration of Obama was an historic milestone, one which promises to change the future of the US and the world, and most likely one of the few events that will be remembered and passed down by our generation. I can see it now: "I remember the day that Obama was made President of the United States." Grandchildren everywhere will be reminded of 2009 and the changes that it brought. Or maybe they wont.
Regardless of whether I am in agreement with the fact that the earth decided to take another trip around the Sun, I realize that 2008 is done and gone, and have decided to follow tradition and come up with a few resolutions for the now not so new New Year.

Drum Roll Please...

And here in no particular order are Chris' Rules to Live By for 2009:

1.- Exercise Mind: Read, read, read... And maybe work on some Sudoku, seems to work for the Japs...
2.- Exercise Body: More cardio, more weights... Thinking about buying a bike, bikes are fun. That and cock push-ups, gotta keep the twatscicle in shape...
3.- Write (More often): Put pen to paper, fingers to keys, unblock my mind and let it all flow...
4.- Save Dough: Enough spending hard earned Benjamins on stupid shit, would like to at least make one big trip this year...
5.- Snort Coke Off a Hookers Ass-Crack: Ok maybe not, but you gotta admit itd be pretty epic...
6.- Keep Organized: Try to plan my days, keep things straight, not waste time...
7.- Grow a Pair: Give it a shot. Take iniciative. Dont let my mind talk me out of things I might actually really want. If it happens to be a chick/girl/woman just go for it...
8.- Think of More and Better Resolutions as the Year Progresses: That way Ill have something to work on in 2010 Woo...

Lyrics I Like...

In an attempt to jumpstart a hopefully fruitful 2009 as far as the blogging goes, I present to you something new.
Lyrics I Like will hopefully be a frequent update of the lyrics of songs that... well that I like at the moment, and that reflect my current state of mind and mental mood. If there are any that you happen to like, I encourage you to check said songs out. Enjoy!


Ill Be The One
by Warren Haynes

When you're walking down the street
I'll be the one that stares like a statue
You turn the corner
I'll be the one that follows you downtown
When you finally notice me
I'll be the one fumbling with his feelings
Totally oblivious to anything and everything else around

Girl, when we meet
I'll be the one that showers you with attention
To win your love
I'll fight until the very end
When you treat me like a fool
I'll be the one that doesn't need redemption
Yeah, drive me away
I'll keep coming back again and again

I'll be the rain if you want me to be
Help you to grow with no guarantee
Even be the clown sad but true
But don't use me up
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you

When silence fills your world
I'll be the one that knows what you're thinking
And when passion burns like fire
I'll be the one bathing in the light
When the curse of darkness falls
I'll be the one who offers a candle
I'll even be the cushion
For things that go crazy in the night

I'll be the rain if you want me to be
Help you to grow with no guarantee
Even be the clown sad but true
But don't use me up
Or I'll be the one that used to worship you
