#failed resolutions

[abstractnerdandstuff]

I swear, I promised myself that I won't complain at the beginning of the year, but I've spent the last six months complaining

There I am in the paper #48

Another installment from my column in the Irish Examiner. Writing it only reminded me regardless of any new year resolutions, there’s little chance I’ll ever be a ‘good’ person. Just ask my brother. How many times a day must I remind myself that it’s been 2018 for twelve days already? Thank goodness we are no longer in the habit of writing cheques as in days gone by I used to finish an entire…

John vs. Reading

I wanted to read more books this year. After spending the last few years scrolling through memes or only checking the comments section I’ve started feeling a little… flat? The goal was to read 25 books this year. That checks into roughly two a month, and that is BOLD with boys running around. When they finally get to bed I usually only have enough energy to halfway pay attention to an episode of the Office.

But I’m trying. And I started off so well! I went to the library the second week in January! Before getting there I tried to make a little list on my phone of books people and websites I usually respect were over the moon for. I also wanted to start with something short. I wanted to start tallying them up, get a base before going for something meatier.

I brought home 99 Stories of God by Joy Williams. Was on the Millions list for months. Short. Super short. I was stoked to lay in bed read, and then dig into it and write an interesting review. But I didn’t get it. I read about a quarter of it. Some of the stories were sad. Some of them were cute. Some of them weren’t as cute as they thought they were. I didn’t’ feel God in many of them, anyway.

And now I’m discouraged. My plan is ruined! And it’s only January… Maybe my muscles weren’t ready for 99 semi-themed snippets. Maybe I should just keep rolling with Dr. Seuss.

I guess I’m going to try again. The library wants their book back, and I’m glad to return in. Hopefully I come back with something that I find a little more interesting. Until then, though, I’ll try to come up with some kind of top 10 or 5 list. Because my muscles need work.
