Talk About Neglect

If there's one thing this blog isn't, it's active.

That sentence sounded weird. Point is, I haven't written anything new since March of 2011, almost a year ago. Bad Bryan.

Sure, 2011 was a busy year, but that's no excuse for not keeping up with my writing. I mean, I got married, moved into a new home (technically 2010, but let's not be a stickler), got a new job, um, did some other stuff. So yea, no time for blogging at all.

Ok, that's a lie, I totally could have been blogging, but I'm a pretty big fan of video games and general wasting time on the internet. That seemed to happen more often than blogging.

As with every new year, I tend to feel a sense of "Hey, stop being lazy!" Inevitably I go back to being lazy within the first few months, but you can't fault me for trying. So I'll give it a go again. This site is due for an upgrade sometime soon anyway, and maybe having a cool new site will be motivation enough to keep writing in it.

Let's end with a list of things I've tried to do and actually succeeded!

1) Stop biting my nails.

It took a while before I wasn't having to consciously think about it, but I don't think I've bitten a nail (save the random hang nail, but those need to be gone FAST!). Hooray disgusting habit kicked!

2) Become a runner.

I spent the vast majority of my life hating running. But I also hate when people are better at something than I am. The Wife is still a much better runner than I am, but these days I can bust out a 4 mile run without much trouble, something that a year ago would have landed me in the ER. So there's that.

3) Dress better.

I know I know, I'm so vain. But you know what? Sometimes a little vanity can be a good thing. I still wear jeans and a t-shirt most days, but I feel that I've stepped up the fashion game a bit, and when you look good, you feel good. I like both.

I'm sure there's more (man, I hope so) but that seems to be enough self-congratulatory writing for now. Let's see if blogging can be #4.
