So this is the new year...

Blah. That's all I feel. I went to the dentist today -- well actually more like 5 dentists since most wouldn't even take my insurance -- and I wish I took up pre-med, so I could be one. Why? Because it'd be fun to inflict the kind of pain, to other people, that was inflicted upon me today. But alas... it's not over. I have a root canal, which I may or may not have to pay out of my own pocket, before I get my broken mess of a tooth replaced. It's times like these I just wish I was still in Dhaka where they would just do the damn thing already instead of making me wait for the pain to come.

With that said... I sit here hopped up on pain killers and antibiotics, looking like I'm strung out or something, I actually feel pretty good. Of course I'm trying to avoid a mirror at all costs, and trying to avoid words that have an 's' or an 'f' sound to them (pretty hard and pretty awkward).. but I feel good. Good stuff happens and bad stuff happens. Anyhoo, here's a list of things for 2009, that I want to accomplish:

*Change this blog. Everybody has some creative name and url for their blog. When I initially started this blog, I titled it "Blog." and my URL is my name. *yawn*

*Grow my hair out again. Yeah I don't care what people say... I miss it.

*Eat healthy and work out more. This time I don't want to work out like a mofo for a few weeks, only to stop and end up eating Kung Pao Chicken and drinking beer every day for a week.

*Land an internship. Something in activism would be cool, or anything involving travel. Hopefully this leads to a real job.

*Boost that GPA up like it's nobody's business. I screwed up quite a bit, so I need to land me straight A's for the rest of the year.

*Cook a proper dinner. That does not include being creative with ramen noodles and whatever is around the house.

*Write poetry again. And try not to bawwwwwwww and wahhhhhh too much through it.

*Experiment musically and play more shows. I already have my current band and NARF.

*Change current band's name. Choosing a band name when drunk makes a good story, but rarely makes a good band name.

*Buy a good tube amp. An Orange or a Marshall DSL 2000 is what I'm eyeing.

*Become a better guitarist and a better singer. For someone who's been playing for this long, I really have gotten stuck in this rut.

*Get out of all my other ruts. Music and creativity isn't the only place I'm stuck in a rut... I'm just too lazy to think and write right now.

*Learn to dance. Something exotic... like salsa or the tango. Grinding my groin up against some unsuspecting female isn't what I constitute as really dancing.

There's loads more, but I'm overambitious. Maybe I'll try to actually be realistic and manage my time well this year. 

Maybe.

Til next time. Hopefully I'll have a new blog by then, instead of foisol.blogspot.com *yawn*
