Happy New Year!
As I pointed out in my previous post, I ended the year with a respectable resolution rate of 74.5%. I've been putting thought into the resolutions for 2015 and have come up with the following list:
1. Art - I resolve to create 30 works of art this year. A work of art is any final product that I made with my own time, effort, thought, and/or hands.
2. Debt - I resolve to pay off my credit cards this year. I currently have $16,994.28 spread across two cards. That will be $0 by December 31, 2015. I would also like to keep my average weekly spending under $440/week, but that is secondary to paying off debt.
3. Health - I resolve to live healthier this year. I will take my daily vitamins. I will run 150 miles by the end of 2015. I will wake up and do push-ups and sit-ups every morning, with the goal of being able to do 50 and 100, respectively, in one sitting by the end of 2015.
4. Do - I resolve to use my time efficiently this year. I normally keep myself busy but do suffer lulls. I want to power through those lulls. I motivate myself with checklists. In an effort to stay busy over the coming year I will set a goal of checking off 1200 boxes from To Do lists in 2015.
There it is, my ADHD 2015 Resolutions! It's nice and simple this year with measurable milestones. Let's see if I can beat last year's resolution rate!

2014: Resolution Year End Review
Last post of 2014! And what better way to end the year than reviewing the resolutions from the beginning of the year. Here is my EOY resolution review:
1. Be social! 100%, no question
2. Make media! I had set out to create a work of art every other week for a total of 26 pieces. I ended the year with 25 pieces, comprising of 13 paintings, 6 CD mixes, 3 pairs of Adidas shoes, and 3 installations. 96%
3. Social media. Blogging. Facebook and LinkedIn. Instagram. Zoosk and OKCupid. 100%
4. Social exercise. The goal was to run 300 miles. After I got Lung Plague in April I missed the mini-marathon. And after that I lost the desire to run. I ran a total of 74 miles in 2014. 74/300 = 25%
5. Read media. Ugh. I failed here. I read one book out of the six I resolved the read, and it was a very short one - The Art of War by Sun Tzu. 1/6 = 17%
6. Thrifty weekly spending. I wanted to keep weekly spending below $400/week. Weekly spending includes any non-monthly costs. I started the year strong but vacations, doctor bills, and reckless year-end spending got me off-track. I ended the year at $479/week. 84%
7. Do not touch the froggy. Froggy not touched. 100%
Mixed results. I really stuck a few but missed terribly with readin' and runnin'. My aggregate resolution rate turns out to be 74.5%. That's better than many years.
A year ago I wrote:
I am the king of breaking most resolutions but sticking to that one that doesn't make the year a total bust. How cool would it be if I stuck to all of these? "Fucking cool!" is the correct answer.Did I stick to them? For the most part I am going to say I did... at least enough to say "Mission accomplished!" >:)

Atheist's Ten Commandments
I am no atheist. I believe in higher powers that are not necessarily named Gawd or Jeebus. I don't think we, as mortal worker bees, can begin to comprehend the big picture. I liken us to worms trying to understand how a cell phone works when it comes to trying to figure out the mysteries of the Universe.
I am also not a religion-hater. Religion has its place and plays a key role in the shaping of many hearts and minds (both for good and bad but I'm going to ignore the bad for the purpose of this post). I grew up a Southern Baptist and strongly believe that more good came from that than not.
However, at this point in my life, I am a solid agnostic and very comfortable with my thoughts and beliefs. And while the below "commandments" are from atheists, I back these 100%. Without further ado, listed below are the atheist's Ten Commandments:
1. Be open-minded and be willing to alter your beliefs with new evidence.
2. Strive to understand what is most likely to be true, not to believe what you wish to be true.
3. The scientific method is the most reliable way of understanding the natural world.
4. Every person has the right to control of their body.
5. God is not necessary to be a good person or to live a full and meaningful life.
6. Be mindful of the consequences of all your actions and recognize that you must take responsibility for them.
7. Treat others as you would want them to treat you, and can reasonably expect them to want to be treated. Think about their perspective.
8. We have the responsibility to consider others, including future generations.
9. There is no one right way to live.
10. Leave the world a better place than you found it.

I made smiles tonight
I have been dealing with my Star Wars collectibles collection and was asked fairly recently by my friend Scott if I had any AT-ATs or TIE Interceptors. His son is really into Star Wars now and the prices he has seen on eBay have been ridiculous. It just so happens that I have 2 AT-ATs, a special edition TIE Interceptor, a TIE Bomber, and an AT-ST scout walker. Or I *had* them. ;)
I brought them over and, up until bedtime, Grant thought they were to play with. Only at bedtime did he realize I was giving them to him. He had the biggest smile and looked adorable in his stormtrooper PJs.
Making smiles is, like, my most favorite thing!

What. A. Day.
I've had the last two days off and it's been a nutty 48 hours. I've been wrapping up the 2014 budget and readying the 2015 budget. I'm working on tracking the progress of 2014 resolutions and working on ideas for 2015 resolutions. I've been cataloging my Star Wars collection in an effort to sell it and have been cleaning the house after being gone most of the month in Bucharest and Amsterdam.
So yesterday, while having lunch with my folks, mom told me that dad was going to get another check from the lawsuit and that she was going to forgive my debt to her. I argued against it since it is a substantial amount of money. Plus I just don't feel right letting her eat all that debt. But she made a great point that my sister receives tremendous benefit from mom taking care of the kids, cooking dinner for them, and other things she does for that household. So, with much resistance, I succumbed and accepted her offer.
This puts me in a great place to focus on debt-reduction next year. In fact, I started thinking and wondered if they would cut another check like they did years ago after dad got the first lawsuit check. That's probably too much to hope for but that would be life-changing.... seriously.
I've not been blogging for a while but it's only because I've been too busy and/or having too much fun. Life has been good enough. My luck with the ladies hasn't really changed... it's rotten. Work has been crazy but "crazy" is the new normal. The family is doing well. I'll blog more often. I *have* missed it.

Crazy game tonight!
I knew going into the game tonight that we were going up against the #1 team in the over 40 league. We have a good team but it's not deep and our opponent tonight had plenty of subs. Luckily, their keeper played the game of his life! I was on fire. The final score was 11-8. Victory! People were singing my praise and it felt amazing!!!
