iirc i brought up 2k17 resolutions in the chat thred a few weeks ago but never followed thru with posting itt. when i did tho i made some mention about being more sincere and less detached/on autopilot when having to make small talk with people in common everyday life situations (instead of automatically saying the same default words almost everytime).

this has been something of a struggle so far but it seems like the trick is to try to remain mindful of this commitment. its sorta going against the tide for me personally in a sense that i dont particularly enjoy meaningless small talk with random strangers (or ppl u quite honestly dont really desire any further relation with like most coworkers) - but coming across as sincere and genuine is somewhat important to me as a person...because i am! but i just dont understand the need to say "whats up" or "how are you?" to somebody just because u happen to make eye contact, imho i think a smile or a nod would be preferable in most of these situations but ofc i dont get to decide the basic rules for common social interaction in 2k17 USA

anyways~ i am now coming up on 1 week w/o smoking cigs after about a month long relapse following 2yrs of not smoking. so far so good w/ that...and ive also cut back the throttle on my alcohol consumption significantly post-holidays so i may as well keep that up for now as well and stick to just a couple of nites a week at most. beyond that i might have so more plans but i think thats enough to handle for now, anything else can wait until winter is over with.

id like a better handwriting, i dont like mine so im gonna do some practice cos i found a wikihow which will definitely help me

its not like i want to commit acts of forgery or anything honest

thats my new years resolution thanks for eading

good luck with that - ive come to terms with the state of my semi-backwards handwriting (iirc i was always adament about doing it my way in elementary school) which i dont really mind since to correct it would require about 25yrs worth of reprogramming, not really worth it considering the majority of handwriting i do is just scribling notes to myself on a yellow legal pad using different colored sharpies tho i can still print nicely when i make an effort, esp with the right pen/pencil, but i still cant even sign my own name consistently and have straight up forgotten how to write in cursive about 20+ yrs ago (teachers in school said u couldnt graduate or go to college unless u could write in perfect cursive - and just I saw thru the ruse and called their bluff even tho at the time i prob still believed in the tooth fairy)...

I don't have one, I kind of just got the urge to get the license. I may buy a super cheap project bike off craigslist and wrench on it until getting frustrated and giving up.

i recommend a dual sport!

only if it's 2-stroke :getin:

my only two-stroke experience was my kitted italian moped that hit 70mph once

ur playing with black magicks friend




good luck with ur licensing and bike purchase tho - and be sure to gear up! if u have the excuse to dress like a power ranger why wouldnt u take advantage if it could also be the difference between a full recovery and death/dismemberment.

u might already post there (i havent been in a while) but Cycle Asylum in AI is super knowledgable and always helpful...i was in ur position 2yrs ago and got my first and put like 7,000mi on it by the fall!
