Does anyone even set new year's resolutions anymore? It seems as though everyone has lost hope in committing to anything. Last year, I had an unspoken resolution that I kept on the DL (since I knew the chances of me keeping it were as slim as Kate Moss at the beginning of rehab). But holy shmoly, I succeeded at it 100%!!!!
So hell, why not set a goal or two for 2010? Actually, mine is pretty cliche: trying to exercise more. Yet it's just as necessary, and I'm trying to keep it fairly simple and open-ended. I was doing yoga and hiking regularly for a while but I've fallen off the wagon, so I need to get back on, if not with these activities, then with something else. I love to walk and swim too. I've even considered trying running again which I haven't done in over ten years. Should I go all LA and become a gym rat? I just know that my lazy ass needs to do SOMETHING!
In any case, before I move onto 2010, let's recap my highlights of 2009. I'd love to hear yours if you're in the mood to share...
10) HIKING THE CHUMASH TRAIL
This is a trail in Simi-Valley (about 30 mins north of LA) that I did in January. It's one of the few extended hikes I've gone on alone, and I must say the views topped my list of anything I've seen in my four years of hiking. If I could choose to be any animal, this is why I'd choose to be an eagle.
9) BEING UNDERWATER
When I used the pool at the local city college this summer, I played around beneath the surface a bit which I don't normally do. It made me realize how relaxing being UNDER the water can be. Now if only the ocean would be warmer, I'd swim in there too. If I could choose to be any animal, this is why I'd choose to be Nemo.
8) TRANCE, TRANCE, AND MORE TRANCE
Not that I don't listen to anything else, but when I discovered these two songs, my nipples got kinda hard. Oh who am I kidding!? Not just kinda, but VERY!!!!

Delusion by Super8 & Tab
7) KOREAN BBQ OVERKILL
Around March, my buddy Anders and I discovered a $16.99 all-you-can-eat joint in Koreatown. The rest is history...
6) THE WIRE
My sudden dive into the world of drug policy reform back in 2000 set off my resentment of the news and television business. So it's quite ironic that I would find the greatest depiction of how screwed up our drug war is from a television series. Thank you Netflix, thank you HBO, and thank you to all the friends and colleagues who have been telling me about this show. I finally came around.
5) INTERVENTION SHOOT: LINDA
I don't usually go out in the field for my job, but the last time I did... wowza what a ride! This shoot featured the first Asian family in our show's history and marked the debut of our 8th season and 100th episode! Best wishes to Linda and her family now and in the future.
Watch the preview here (click on episode 100. Linda)
4) SPEAKING OF INTERVENTION...
I am approaching my second year on the job, and slowly but hopefully and surely, I shall squeeze my way into the writing department, and write about the whole journey there. For example, write now I'm going to write, "The producers have had me write three webisodes so far with another one over the holidays, and it's looking like I might write all the new ones from now on. I've also officially become the assistant to the show's writers." Wow that's a whole lotta "write"s in one paragraph. Am I write or wrong in saying I might be getting a bit obsessive about it?
3) TRYING TO HAVE DOLORES' BABY
I'm such a groupie! Singing along to "When You're Gone" at the Cranberries reunion concert was such a thrilling experience! Thank you Olivia for rocking out with me that night! I went to their San Francisco show but here's...
Their performance from Paris, 1999
2) WEEKEND IN LAS VEGAS
I love this picture. I guess it speaks for itself.
1) WELCOMING MY FIRST NEPHEW TO THE WORLD
The fact that my naughty antics in Vegas only comes second to my family and baby time is probably a testament to why I should never have kids. But anyway this is Skyler, the most adorable and cutest lil' guy in my family, well other than me of course :p
