rewrite of wonderful world by sam cooke without the refrain, just him listing off every subject he’s failing

Me in January 2016

Walking around trying to solve Teresa Halbach’s murder while listening to David Bowie.

noo yeahs resolooshuns

1. exercise more - (or like at all) I probably do a significant amount of walking compared to a lot of people since I don’t drive down here, but I think I need to step it up. I want to do yoga because it makes me feel good and flexible and I want to ride my bike because Chris got it for me as a gift last year and I feel bad because I never use it. 

2. be more creative - In college and before I was always into artsy fartsy things and always loved doing that sort of thing, whether it was about creating weird/comedy videos, drawing/photography, writing, etc. It’s always just been a hobby of mine, but it’s a hobby that I’ve sort of given up on out of - I’m not sure what - laziness, apathy, netflix? Anyways, I just want to create things instead of constantly consuming things.

3. not create any more debt - Now, if I was more diligent or more stable, the real resolution would be to get myself out of debt, but I am also quite realistic, and I know that for example, this year I will be spending at least 3 months partially, if not totally unemployed, and if I can just get myself through this year without making my debt any worse, then that will be a win. 

4. work on my mental health - My whole life I’ve known that depression and anxiety run in my family. But I always felt like I could will myself to not be a person that has to deal with that, for some reason. This past year I realized that I have pretty serious health anxiety/hypochondria stemming from my brother’s bout with cancer, and that I need to work on it. I’ve started therapy and it feels like a positive step, but I know I have a long way to go with this stuff.

Here’s to a positive and productive 2016! :)

How the fuck you gonna say money doesn’t buy happiness when you live in a society that revolves around money and requires you to have it if you want to do the things you want to do? Without money you can only be happy so fucking much when you have bills coming at you from every direction and also have to worry about feeding your kids, clothing yourself, buying their school supplies every year, ect.

Y'all need to be a little more realistic when y'all say money doesn’t buy happiness, cause being financially stable and not having to worry about whether or not I’m gonna have money to feed my family today sure seems like it’ll make me happy.

precisely.

or if we take a verse from the book of Yeezy, “having money’s not everything, not having it is.”
