Following are my resolutions, as published last year, and their current status.
- Finish and have published either a long-form or a short-form fiction piece. STATUS: Done. Wait. Undone. Everything published was nonfiction. Fuck.
- Become fully fluent in either Spanish or Portuguese. STATUS: Full fluency? Are you kidding me? Improvement made, but status remains undone.
- Travel internationally. STATUS: Undone. I'm really on Fire Island way too much.
- Go to Provincetown. STATUS: Undone. For no reason. Almost went for New Years.
- Go to Montreal. STATUS: Undone.
- Quit smoking. STATUS: Done.
- Be more human. Admit personal flaws. STATUS: Done.
- Learn CSS. STATUS: Undone. And no longer a priority.
- Ask for help more often. STATUS: Done. But I still don't read directions or look at maps.
- Drink a V-8 every day or eat more vegetables and fruit. Take vitamin, fish oil pill, and aspirin everyday (just like last year). STATUS: Done. Except the last few weeks.
- Kiss more strangers, if possible. STATUS: Done and done and done.
- Do not pull out the cock at the Dugout unless asked. Same for the Eagle. And Big Lug. And Nowhere Bar. And Phoenix. And Eastern Bloc. And Metropolitan. STATUS: Done. I think.
