Owning It

I walk into every room and every situation as if the world revolves around me. And it does, after all it is my world. 

That will sound vain and pretentious to those that don't know me, and indeed, even to some that do. 

It is not meant as such. I've recently decided to embark on a new course in life. I'm trying to be a bit more Zen, a bit more aware. That seems counter to the above statement, no? 

I would argue not at all. I am sick of feeling like a spectator in my own life sometimes. Yes, things/events will happen as they will, but you can also contribute to the outcome.

Think about it. My life revolves around me. The decisions I make. The people I chose to interact with. The places I decide I want to go. The work (job/career/volunteer/hobby) I do. The music I decide to listen to, for even when the iPhone is on shuffle, I have chosen the music contained in my iTunes account. The entertainment I chose to participate in. These are all things I have control over and that influence and impact the world around me. Extrapolate further and the world revolves around me. 

Therefore, in my new Zen like approach to the world, and not letting the world happen to me, I am going to walk into any situation like the world revolves around me. 

Game Night

There are a few things that I have decided to do this year, blog more among them. I also decided that once a month I was going to host a game night. We started last night. It may have started small, but it was a group filled with debauchery. We made our way through Cards Against Humanity and found out just how sick and twisted we really are!! I had wanted to break them open since Christmas when I got them as a gift! Now I'll have to wait to get an expansion pack and have some more fun.

The amazing part about Cards Against Humanity is, you can play it over and over and over again and it will never be the same game. Add players, subtract some, get through some of the cards or all them. The combinations in your hand will never be the same every match, so you'll always get a different result - granted, none of the options will be Politically Correct. That's what makes it fun! 

If you really want to know who the most depraved player was, you'll have to be here. What happens at Cards Against Humanity, stays at Cards Against Humanity.

Resolutions...

It's come to that time of the year again. The time where we all make resolutions and vow to make this year better than the last. We all do it, every year. Does anything ever change? Do we have what it takes to follow through? Some do better than others I guess. I've done pretty well over the last the few years, for the most part. I have made some for this year as well, and, while I'm not ready to share them all just yet. I am going to share a few of them.

I am going to try and blog a bit more, I've been very neglectful of throwing my thoughts out there and  I want to at least try and blog once a week, we'll see how that goes. I've also decided that I need to start every day fresh, with a new chance to make a difference, a new chance to be the best that I can be. To leave the past behind me, learn from all that has happened to me and make the most of what's ahead of me. We are going to start with some positivity, 2014 is going to be great!
