heck, but i'll take it

alright. so i've been delaying this blog post, and for reasons more compelled by self-imposed tradition than common sensibilities and procrastination. you see, for reasons that are no longer reasons because they cease to make sense to me, i am entrenched with the idea that the first blog post of the year has to stay fairly true to topics of new year resolutions, positivity and general feel-goodness. and i, for one, have yet to find anything good to say.

i read it somewhere that positivism runs in the human genetic code. in the time when our Darwinian ancestors were hunter-gatherers, this optimistic spark played a crucial crux in motivating them to greater efforts the next day after an unsuccessful day of hunting. call it a convenient justification, or Mother Nature's idea of a joke, or anything, and uh i think i am digressing.

anyway, there will be no new year resolutions this year (unless it can guiltlessly incorporate video games, comics, and free expression), nor will there be any reflections about the previous. i've decided that my life is about living, not a series of decade-long business plans to increase efficiency, or a report card to reflect upon past performance, good or bad.

carpe diem.

p.s. this is a demotivating poster. i find it more motivating than motivational ones.
