Here are my New Years resolutions. I take these things seriously. Last year, I made good on at least 6 of my 9 resolutions. They must be difficult so that there is a possibility of not meeting them if I lose track of myself but realistic, too (hence the absence of “own island in Mediterranean” and “gain ability to shapeshift”… someday, someday). Yes, I will do everything to meet these or die trying try afuckinggain.

1. Become as fluent as humanly possible in Japanese, reasonably fluent in German and conversational in Farsi
2. Start and maintain a successful enterprise. (NO INVESTORS!)
3. Have a successful romance / get a girlfriend.
4. Record first (and maybe last) The Happy Buttons album. This includes honing my performing, producing and recording skills.
5. Make enough money so that I can live where I want and still have plenty of money left to buy stupid shit.
6. Follow up to #5: Move to San Luis Obispo!
