I decided to do something a little different for 2010. I decided to create a blog for a couple of reasons. For one, it will let me friends in far away places know what's going on in my life. Also, I need to push myself to accomplish my goals. What better way to push myself than letting people know what my goals are and let them keep me on track to complete those goals.
My goals for 2010 are as follows:
1. Start dating again
2. Have a new adventure every weekend.
3. Make the most of my professional life while balancing it with a healthy social life
4. Lose 40 pounds.
5. Live my life to the absolute fullest
6. Stop letting people's negative thoughts define me
My biggest problem is I fear the unknown. 2010 will be the year I release my fears and let the person my friends know and love shine through. I can't be afraid of getting my heart broken. I can no longer use my job as an excuse to put my life on hold. I can no longer run from the problems in my life. I can not be afraid to let loose and truly enjoy myself. This new outlook led me to Adventure #1.
Adventure #1
I never go out for New Year's Eve. My entire life I have lived in cities where you had to drive long distances to get to a happening bar or nightclub. So I always spent New Year's Eve indoors. This year, I decided since I live in a fabulous metropolitan area with good subway access and lots of cabs, I was going to enjoy NYE. And enjoy it I did. I made new friend over Thanksgiving, who I will refer to as AT. We went to my favorite spot in Washington, DC: Busboys & Poets. Busboys is an amazing place. You have people of all backgrounds, nationalities, and faiths coming together in a facility that is a restaurant, lounge, performance art space and bookstore. It is the most wonderful place I have ever been to. I paid my $78, which $10 went to charity, enjoyed my open bar and free food. The music was incredible. The energy was insane. I had so much fun! I met so many people who were filled with such a wonderful spirit. I was engulfed in a wonderful web of joyful freedom that words could not explain. So when I woke up this morning, no hang over or sore feet could take the smile off my face. My first adventure of 2010 was absolutely fabulous!
I know there will be some good adventures and bad adventures along the way. Share my experiences with me and give me your honest opinions.
Love you all! Happy 2010!
