What's different about you this year?
 

Yeah, talk about your cliches. Self-reflection at the end of the year. I hate it. Still, it can be good to take inventory once in a while. And it can be fun to share.

Me:

1. I live in a different state.
2. I wear "man-lets."
3. I'm a freelance writer (it's my new full-time occupation).
4. I have more albums.

Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on any of this.

what's a "man-let"?

1. i'm single.
2. i smoke.
3. i'm working on solo music.
4. i'm a morning person, now.
5. i dress better.
6. i take less shit from others.
7. i drink waaaay less.

1. more bros
2. more hos
3. more clothes
4. more in-the-knowz
5. better rhymes
6. better songs
7. better attitude

totes.

1. I am now a university student
2. I am now studying Fine Art instead of Photography
3. I am thinner (again)
4. I have a more rounded taste in music
5. I have seen all 4 Die Hard films
6. I am not as close with my best friend as i used to be
7. I can now hold down a conversation about art
8. I wear cowboy boots with everything instead on converse trainers
9. I have a new found appreciation for Canada
10. I now know that my 3 years at university is going to be pretty damn good!

Man-lets are my word for men's accessories, like hemp or thin leather bracelets. I just started wearing them this fall. They're a symbol of my independence from the corportate office world.

5. I also wear better though more casual clothes, meaning better jeans and nicer T-shirts and long-sleeved shirts basically. Plus I know own a corduroy blazer that's kind of rocking.
6. I'm trying to be calmer about everything.

this all sounds great to me!:) :p ;)

7. I now want cowboy boots like screamingskull!

You're a total wild man.

ah. that's what i figured.

and i agree 100% on the being calmer tip.

8. I probably drink a little less.
9. I probably dirnk less coffee--since I work at home, access to a coffeehouse is a bit more difficult, and I can only afford so many pounds of beans a week.

1. I am now happily in a relationship and all my previous emotional problems are long gone.
2. I moved in with a girl for the first time in my life (related to point 1)
3. I finally realized what I want to do for living and what type of job suits me best.
4. I played my first live gig this year.
5. I have less hair than last year
6. I started suffering from high blood pressure - that's why I drink less coffee and try to avoid smoking as much as possible.
7. I am happier than ever before.

Capes might be the next level.

congrats on all fronts!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to val-holla-ing again.

my entire shoe collection.

uh oh. they'd have to be made of egyptian baby skin, though.

Solo gigs; re-discovering intelligence (believe it or not); being able to read again (was ruined by Finnegans Wake); the discovery that I'm an awesome writer (I'll plug the book when it's out); decent pay; good friends; getting back into drinking loads; smoking is still awesome; popjustice.com.

It's been a very good year in Glice world.

i lost 35 pounds; i started my blog; i cut my goddamn hair; my age no longer begins with a "2"; i've had my first confrontation with the death of someone close to me (believe it or not; my father, died the day before my birthday), and this has made me demonstrably more focused in every aspect. it's also made me more empathetic.

also, i bought some different snoopy shirts.

snoopy's cool.
