I may have tricked myself into resolving nothing in particular

I know what you’re all thinking… it’s a new year and the lazy blogger that hasn’t written a word since September is crawling back… making new empty promises… well…
My wife Audrey seems much more enthralled with the idea of new years resolutions than I am. She’s been asking me what I plan on doing to turn my life around for the past few days now, and my response seems to be something along the lines of “I’m already doing it” and “I don’t think I should start anything new. I must be susceptible to the mere suggestion of new beginnings though, because here I am… missing the blogging and book reviewing I did last year and thinking that maybe I need to schedule it along with several other things into what is soon to be an already full workload of school and employment.
I do loath explaining my plans though, I think mainly because I spend more time doing so than following through with them, so you’ll all just have to take my word that I want to go in a direction with the blog that includes me writing in it.
Enough with the lead-in already!
I just finished reading It Came from Del Rio by Stephen Graham Jones about a day ago. A friend loaned me a copy, he’s a big fan of the local writing scene, and Jones is an author out of Denver. I’ll put a review up of the book sometime this week, but I’ll go ahead and say that it was a worthwhile read. Oh… it’s kinda an odd combination of horror novel, dry wit and border town grit.

I’ve been really getting into Platoon of Power Squadron on youtube (POPS for those of you in the in crowd). The final video for episode 4 just came out today in fact! For people who have not heard of this series, it’s about four roommates that all have super powers but are not the grand super heroes one would expect them to be. It’s hilarious and fairly exciting, and has a fun group of youtube actors in it. Episode 1 is a little slow to start so here’s a trailer for episode 2:
Check out their youtube channel to see all the episodes!

I had a blog idea a while back to help me get motivated to live a bit of a healthier lifestyle. As one might have guessed I stopped writing in the blog around the same time I started it. Surprisingly though, I’ve managed to keep up with the lifestyle choices… so I’ll admit, I’m trying to resurrect that blog as well (and re-vamp it a bit). Check it out if your interested.
