1/1/13: Did you know that today's the first day of the future?

Yep, I've decided that today, January 1st, 2013, is the point at which the future begins. Now, I know that there have been other such temporal indicators such as the infamous date in Back to the Future that may or may not have meant the same thing. Granted we don't have even one car that flies (or even flying scooters) but nonetheless we do all have smartphones and that's pretty futuristic, right? Who needs a flying car when you have a robotic woman on your phone british-ly informing you of everything you're interested in.

At least, it's the first day of my future. I have some resolutions that I've been thinking through the last couple of day. I need to hear your opinion first. though. First of all, I need to improve my decision making abilities. I mean I never really care what happens even when I really do care what happens; this really needs to change. At 30 years old, I really need to start being able to say yay and nay to certain elements in my life.
 
I've also decided that I really need to find a new meaning for myself at this point in time. It's all too easy to get stuck in this muck watching my life slide away. I feel like I'm stuck here in front of the TV with my life moving forward as little as possible. I need to figure out what makes my situation different from that of other people who don't 'get' to experience what I have.

I'm strangely excited about the beginning of this year. I feel like it could be the year that could hold an entirely new set of experiences for me. I'm getting so tired of the fighting/not fighting cycle I've been enshrined in. I need something new, something fresh to look forward to throughout this difficult part of my life.
