List #35: Resolutions for the New Year Part 1

I have never been true to New Year’s Resolutions. Like most people, my resolutions often end up forgotten, largely ignored, or broken down into tiny little pieces within the first quarter of the involved year. However, the first month of the year isn’t really complete for me without making some form of drunken promise to right my horrid ways. So here it is:

1. I will stick to strict schedule when it comes to updating this blog. I figure since most of the items on this list will, as previously mentioned, be forgotten or ignored or broken down into tiny little pieces, I might as well start with the biggest and hardest to live by item. I don’t really need to stick to an updating schedule, it’s my blog after all. But as I am hoping to have  at least one regular reader (hi mom!)  before this month ends, it feels necessary.

2. I will return to Hong Kong for a visit, by hook or by crook! The last time I set foot in Hong Kong soil was when I was in third grade and I still answered to people calling me Davey the David Garcia (don’t ask). Although one of my most vivid memories from that trip is having to go into random restaurants so I can go wee-wee (it was cold as hell for poor little tropical me), I do remember how comforting the city lights looked like at night. That and the bargain district full of people offering to sell me a mountain of cool toys.

3. I will try and enclose less references in parentheses from now on.

4. I will learn to not be lazy and churn out a complete and proper blog post when I start it.

For the meantime, stay tuned for List #36: Resolutions Make for Bad Sequels.
