Solving My New Years’ Resolution: Log 1 (1-3)

I have only made a New Years Resolution once (2011). I was going to become a fan of tea. While hot tea still has zero appeal to it, Arizona and Peace Teas have my heart. Hooray!!

So for this year, I decided to up the ante and make one that is much more challenging, to a degree. I am going to do something I have never done before each and every day of the New Year. due to varying circumstances, I will allow this to be something new on any scale, the only rule is that I have never done it before and “…in 2012” or “…with so-and-so” don’t count, meaning I can’t go to my favorite restaurant with someone different and claim that. Not that I necessarily play solely in my comfort zone or anything, but this will force me to discover, adventure, and become more cultured as a person. This will also serve as a memory thread to reflect upon later :) Some of my writing may be a little mundane and over-detailed, but I guess I am not solely writing for others, but writing for the writer.

My catch up events are as follows:

January 1st, 2012:

1.) Kayaking for the First Time in My Life at Lady Bird Lake Austin, Tx.

With: Renna, Sam, Jalex, Allen, Felicia, Chase, and Nick. Woop!

Therapeutic and relaxing. This was so phenomenal. I have never enjoyed the water so much, despite the cold and being slightly wet. And getting to see Austin from a totally different perspective really showed it to be a beauty that can only be perceived from being on the river. Very much something that I will do over and over again.

2.) Schlotzsky’s on the Drag

With: Jimmy

Yes, this was my first trip to Schlotzsky’s. I only got a Caesar salad, which was alright. I would get it again as a side and without the chicken.

Ode to UTSA (Something I Dug Up…)

I know there quote a few people who will really enjoy this: :)

Shivani like to dance

She used to do ballet

ballet dancers are really hott

So the transitive property states that Shivani is hott

Kasey’s pretty cool too I suppose

she seems to be pretty nice

and She worked at NASA

her boyfriend’s a righteous dude vietnamese

Sahar used to be real quiet

Now she talks a lot more

We have government together

How do you pronounce her last name?

Kasey, Sahar, and Shivani

they have a weird roommate

She smells like burnt hair

and nail polish remover

Then of course there’s Shelby

I don’t know too much about her

I think she likes me, but all I

really know is that she drives a sweet mini-van

Jamal is so cool

He has dreadlocks and

Bob Marley shirts and he’s from Austin

But he’s never smoked a doobie

In a far away land lives tiffany

Where the unicorns play all day

And we all wear indoor shoes-even though we’re outdoors

So the place is really clean

The Oust cans grow on bushes

And vacuum cleaners roam free

There’s a lot of little kids…

wait that’s kind of weird

Speaking of weird here comes Taylor

She loves making things awkward

She doesn’t know what TMI means

and sometimes she’s really crude

Don’t let her tell you a story

Unless you want to be there for a 

long, long, long, long

long, long time

Autumn is intimidating

She wears grey and navy because it makes her feel tough

But deep down she’s a sweetheart

…on second thought- definitely not

If I was a guy who liked Autumn

I’d always wear a cup

Not that I don’t trust her

But I wouldn’t take my chances

*CRASH!!* Don’t look now but here comes Renna

Tripping on everything in her path

If I were ever to do acid

I’d do it with Renna cause I know it’s be a good trip

Most people are afraid of monsters

Renna’s nightmares include tall flights of stairs

Renna’s banned from the Grand Canyon

If she were a bird, she’d trip in the air

She’s got a friend named Jonathon

he’s got a crazy goatee

He likes to wear goofy hats too

or maybe he’s going bald

If Renna was a monkey she’d trip on a branch

If she were a cow she’d tip herself

If she were a kickstand I wouldn’t want her on my bike

She can’t stayed balanced when she rides a trike

She’s got a friend name Jonathon

his grandma loves him, but Autumn does not

His hat’s make him look like a newspaper boy

extry extry have you seen his goatee?

There’s lots of people we’ve met

I’ll try to list a few more

Maggie, Ann, Annie, Teresa, Ashley, Chris, Eliane, and let’s not forget HENRIK!!!
