High resolutions

greatbearWell, I have less than a half hour left of the first day of 'aught-six. Though not originally intended to be as such, today ended up being a day where I put into action what I have resolved to clear up some of the clutter in my life and homestead. I spent the better part of the day cleaning up and rearranging stuff in the studio, eliminating the seemingly endless piles of CDs and DVDs that were gathering on equipment and tabletops. I gathered up all the vinyl I had shoved off into closets and the basement and got it all on a big shelf in here along with videos, DVDs, box sets and those several cursed Disney- or Disney-styled huge plastic VHS cases that fit none of the other storage units I have (or anything else commonly available for that matter). More CDs were ripped into mp3s and loaded into the great computers (that fill the hallowed halls < /2112>) as I went about rearranging furniture and so forth. My guitars and the bass will get their much needed cleaning and restringing in preparation for my hopeful return to playing, another 'resolution' that's been long in coming.
Barring any unforseen circumstances such as what happened through most of 2004 (without a doubt the worst year of my life), I plan in putting a huge dent in the needed house maintenance (new roofs, doors, flooring in the kitchen and dining room), plus the additional 'garage'. The existing garage will get cleared of all the accumulated detritus as will the basement. The recently repaired truck will get a lot of usage hauling stuff outta here. It's way past time.
Other minor 'resolutions': entertain and travel more. Ask for help, instead of beating myself to death going at things alone. And, of course, as is everyone's this time of year, renovate my broken-down body.
2005, while not all that bad, still was not anything to write home about. I am hoping that 20X6 becomes a year of change for the better.
