Starting a streak.

Well last night I seemed to have made a big mistake. I was at my parents and saw they had a four loko drink sitting in the fridge, so I asked dad if it was his or anybodys that he knew of. I then made an effot to further decieve the vet assistant and got to drink about half the can before my loose lips sunk that ship. We then had a talk about the events leading up to dinner, and why I feel the need to imbibe alcohol whenever I am out of the house and have the chance to drink. That is true, I do enjoy having a budweiser with my restaurant meals. I can't think of the last time I had more than one tall glass of beer while out to eat, that is now besides the point. I have now decided to start another sobriety streak, similar to what I last did in the summer of 2009. I poured out all the liqour I had in the house, and am now going to drink water 90% of the time. I now have to wonder what the lethal upper limit on water is.

In other news, I decided to get a new phone. My blackberry wasn't holding up to all the dust and dirt I was around. The trackball kept getting stuck in one direction, and I was down to one friend on the bbm. I found a new phone from nextel, that has direct connect, qwerty keyboard, and is rugged. It should be in by either today or tomorrow, so my blackberry era is going to end by the end of the week.

Resolutions

The new year has started and as with tradition, I need to resolve to do something differently. I personally have decided that I need to spend less on my credit card. I looked through all my statements and spent a reasonable amount on eating out, didn't spend a great amount on groceries, and will probably spend much less on home improvements this year. Depending on how I look at things, two items accounted for 12% of my CC spending. I think the biggest cutback will be walmart and other such stores. That was a big chunk of my spending, and will be the biggest cut this year. However, the biggest addition may be automobile spending. Diesel fuel will cost more at every fill up, though fill ups should not be as frequent in my future.

What I really am looking forward to this year is being more of a mechanic on my new truck. I can't help but look up how to do repairs and improvements on my new automobile. This may mean spending more on my own parts and supplies. I also will likely be struggling to learn all the ins and outs of what to do and not do, but there are several guides and such material on the internet for me to study and learn. Once I get all my current loans payed off, a garage will have to be in order to do all of the maintenance. I will have to be more like my relative who doesn't have cable either and just goes and works on something else instead of watching TV in the evenings.
