To-Do

So, due to the nature of my job (which involves a lot of standing around and doing nothing,) I have had a lot of time on my hands to ponder lately. The subjects would range from things like Obama's foreign policy to men over the age of 50 who I would conceivably have sex with. Sadly, I didn't think that either of those subjects would be particularly interesting to read about, unless of course you would like for me to recall a particularly steamy fantasy I had about George Clooney not too long ago. No? Didn't think so. Anyways, for any of you who know me well, you know that I am a slave to my calendar and my endless reminders and notes that I write to myself, basically I am my crackberry's bitch. At the beginning of each year, I like the other hordes of well intentioned people, sit down and write out a list of  New Year's resolutions, which are usually forgotten by the time February rolls around. Seeing as I'm not one for convention, I decided to compile a To-Do list of sorts, but for my life. Perhaps this will give me the kick in the ass that I need.
