Changes

Back to Basics
I feel restless, and ready to do something new. I have had this feeling allot lately. It seems like there is something waiting for me to see it. Something better. Something more fulfilling. How will I know when it presents itself to me? Will I be ready for the challenge?
I think that I am not being pushed professionally, and creatively. Maybe it is time to stop waiting for something, and get out and find it. I need to try new things, and get out of my comfort zone. Hopefully that will help me satisfy these feelings.
The last thing that I want to be is a thirty year old man who has has let everything come to me. I want to be the type of person who has gone and grabbed what I want in life.
I think that I have not gotten enough out of my life up to this point. From this point on, I will start to do what I think will make me feel satisfied, and content. I have just been going with the flow, and that stops now.

Guilty Traveler
I’m sitting in the Taipei airport right now, and I am wondering why I didnt do more here. Sure, I was visiting my girlfriend, but I think I didnt experience that much. We did travel by train, and that was eye opening to say the least. I did try the local food, and I could not liove here for that reason. Western food is ridiculously expensive, and their local food is really cheap. The thing is that I can’t use chopsticks that well, and I dont feel satisfied when I’m finished. The other thing is that they have meat in everything. That makes me really sick. I had to eat meat while I was here, otherwise it was candy and potato chips all day.
Being here really makes me appreciate what I do have, and it also makes me feel like I have way more that I need. I think I need to minimize my life soon. I feel guilty living in a place that twenty people over here could live in, and I am all by myself. I know that it is our culture to have more that we need, but it makes me feel really wasteful.
Hopefully I can make these changes soon to avoid a guilty concise.

Resolutions
This will be the first year that I will take my resolutions seriously. In previous years I would set the usual goals like; loose weight, save money, and so on. This year I am going to set goals that actually mean something to me.
- Stay Positive - This is something that I really need to work on. There are many times were I will join in when people are complaining about something. Doing this always brings me down, and I feel worse when the conversation is over. I am going to try and either change the direction of the conversation, or not join in at all. Hopefully, this will not only make a change in the way I feel, but it will also have a positive effect on those around me.
- Stay Vegetarian - First off, not eating meat makes me feel great. Secondly, it makes me feel like I am making a little bit of a difference. This is a very hard stance to take. Many times, people criticize me for not eating meat. They think that its stupid, and pointless. There are even times when they tell me that it is “gay” to not eat meat. When I hear these things it simply cannot make me any more upset. There are other times when I feel like just giving in and starting to eat meat again, just to shut them up. Hopefully, I will stay true to what I believe, and not give in.
There are a few more things that I want to accomplish this year, but these two are the most important to me. I will really make an honest effort to keep things n the back of my mind all year, and stay true to what I believe in.
