After my last entry, I got to thinking about how I wasn’t really keeping any of my other resolutions, so why should I keep the one to make 365 Daily Heys in the year 2002? To give myself some reassurance, I shall review my list from January 1:

I resolve to make it a habit to go to bed much earlier than I generally did throughout 2001 (and most of my natural life, for that matter).

Not a chance. If anything, I’ve gotten worse.

I resolve to keep my trash/dishes/laundry situations on a much tighter leash than I have in the past.

It is uncertain on quantifiable terms whether I have stuck to this one or not; but I do seem to clean my apartment more than I used to. Which is not to say that the apartment is, on average, cleaner.

I resolve to let food go bad less frequently, or at least not feel as guilty about it when it does.

I have moldy cheese in the fridge and moldy donuts(!) on my kitchen counter, and I don’t feel bad about it at all.

I resolve to finish unpacking from when I moved in fifteen months ago.

Well, I still have six more months to do this.

I resolve to decorate the walls of my bedroom with tasteful posters and prints, because them walls are lookin’ bare.

As above.

I resolve to soup up my desktop computer so that it becomes a multimedia supermonster.

This is certainly on my agenda. I am simply waiting for a fiscal solvency that may never come…

I resolve to stop buying so many damned comic books.

Starting next week, I promise!

I resolve to use various pieces of exercise equipment to give myself rock-hard abs, or something to that effect.

Hmm… well, my weight has stabilized. That’s something.

I resolve to go to a dentist.

Oh, yeah. Gotta do that.

I resolve that I will take the next step in figuring out what I want to do with my life and how to proceed in that general direction.

Done. Applied to graduate school, will be matriculating in the fall.

I resolve to allow people to read my novel.

Also done. Although the novel still needs work.

I resolve that I will have read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy before the second part hits the big screen.

It’s still possible.

I resolve to get my damned eye fixed, because it be buggin’ Sandy out.

I never got my eye “fixed”, as apparently there was nothing to “fix”, but I did get it checked out.

I resolve to spend at least half an hour per day drawing.

Much more difficult than it sounds.

I resolve that I will make 365 Daily Hey entries in the year 2002, even if it means I have to write 100 entries on December 31 in order to catch up.

I guess we’ll see. Looks like I’ve stuck to a good many of my resolutions. Let’s see how many I can break before the year ends.
