Hello 2011

I'm so glad 2010 is in my rearview mirror.  Not to say I didn't enjoy it, on the contrary, as it contains some of the best moments of my life.  I'm just ready for the new.  What goals will this year hold?  Well, it's not exhaustive, but certainly hopeful....

I'm saving most of my free time for only people I like or just myself.  It seems selfish, but I don't think I can fake a smile to combat the awkwardness anymore.  Small talk makes me internally cringe, especially with people possessing the emotional aptitudes of 3 year olds.  I'm drawn to the genuine, kind, and purposeful.  Hopefully, simultaneously avoiding the fakes out there.  I may not become popular, but at least forgo pandering at the masses.  Life is too valuable, why would I want to dilute it?  Certain people attempt to convince and conjure up all kinds of nonsense not worth acknowledging.  Sift through the noise, and maybe begin to hear truth again.

Secondly, I want to ... hmmm.  Don't know yet.  I think I will start with just the first goal.  It seems heavy already, as everything is easier said than done,  and I am such a creature of habit.
