Okay…it’s the start of a new year, and time to reflect on the past year and make resolutions for the one ahead. So in the spirit of reflection, I choose to ignore all that warm and fuzzy crap and make no resolutions whatsoever. I think I’m good enough just the way I am and don’t need to change nothin’!
There could be 10 lbs less of all this self-content perfection. And I’m working on that; but not as a resolution. Cause I think resolutions are just vehicles for failure*; their goals rarely achieved. So that’s why I’m looking forward and not backwards at this time of year. Not only do I avoid tripping over a bunch of shit and falling on 
my ass by looking forward, my outlook is much more positive. Dig this: One can never see the future, nor see the past, all we can truly see is the present.
And speaking of presents, here’s a bunch of drawings I did recently. You can consider them a present present, from me to you.
* Wouldn’t it be a trip if you could actually rent a “vehicle for failure”? Hertz or Avis? I don’t know if I’d wanna be billed as #1 in vehicles for failure. All I know is that all the vehicles for failure that I own, are properly registered and in good running order. But I never drive them when intoxicated, unless I’m drunk.

Not look back but retain the lessons.
Got to retain the lessons!

Will be working on that 10 pounds also. Never make resolutions, though. When I used to work out regularly at the gym, every January it would be so crowded you could hardly get in there. Then about mid-February, it was back to “normal”.
I’ve never seen that phenomena at my gym. Maybe because by mid February I’m gone too.

Hell, I’m looking in front of me a lot of times and still run into things. Friggin’ prescription glasses.
Oh yes…Those glasses do take some time getting used to.

Poor Lot’s wife. Was her name even identified? I only recall her to be known as that or a pillar or salt. What a way to be remembered. And taking lessons from her, I believe time stands still.
Come to think of it, she had no name, except maybe Mrs Lot (who had no last name).

Looking ahead with lessons from the past while holding a filled wine glass. Meanwhile, interesting pocket buttons and nose.
Sounds like a positive attitude to me.
