2011: Year of Misfortune?

Nah, I wouldn't call it that, but I have had a surprising share of mishaps since the start of the year. Even if the hapless start of my 2011 presages the year that lies ahead, I greet it with great ambition. Besides, the "hapless" events that have happened to me are minuscule.

Jan. 1: I unintentionally parked in a private lot in downtown Dallas without paying. Returned to the car late that night to find a boot on it. I had to pay $105 to get it off. Yes, it was my own fault for not being more attentive.

Jan. 2: My tooth (crown) popped out, while I was eating a panino. It's in the back of my mouth, so chewing has been a feat.

Jan. 7: I vomited aboard a C130J aircraft with a Dyess crew. My motion sickness gets the best of me fairly often. Thankfully, the crew had a "motion sickness" bag handy. I still had a great time! Here's a link to the story: http://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/search-fulltext?nxd_id=328956

Jan. 8: My hair got caught in a key chain. It was so entangled, I lost the mangled strands.

Life delivers far more detrimental happenstance than what I've experienced so far this year. With that in mind, I have just laughed and continue to look forward to what's in store for 2011.

I don't often make resolutions to start a year, but I have one this time around. My resolution is to play my guitar regularly. I typically just pick it up on occassion to play, then let it collect dust. I love music, so I'm commiting to play more! Do you have any resolutions? What's your secret to sticking to them?

Cheers to 2011!
