new year’s resolution by Rakka
Glass Overflowing
Missed Connections in Seattle
2013 Resolutions to experience things I never have before:
– Arrive to work naked (like in my dreams)
– Shed my clean skin and get a tattoo – because it’s so original and unique to only me
– Drink alcohol to the point of memory loss – does that actually happen?
– Smoke pot – legally
– Pretend I have an injury in order to receive disability benefits and holidays off
– Resume the single life because I hear it’s awesome
– Turn into a self absorbed princess (so fuck ya’ll)
– Design hoodies for women over 40 – because 45 is the new 25
– Join a fight club
And that’s just January!

New Year’s Eve is the perfect time for writing up that list of resolutions to guide you through the next year, month, week, or day. I have to admit that my list appears pretty dull and unadventurous (regularly make myself a healthy and nutritious green juice to drink with lunch) next to the work naked, black-out, hyper-aggressive narcissistic cougar goals of our Seattle poet. However, let the record show that my pledge to pick up street trash on a weekly basis will prove to be an adventure both in battling smelly garbage squeamishness and those pesky litter-bugs! (while wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt that doesn’t even remotely turn the clock back twenty years…)
