Old dog, new tricks

It's my birthday tomorrow (or today, depending on what time zone you're in). For the past few years, in the weeks preceding this day, I go through major introspection, and go on this crusade to improve myself and reinvent myself, and basically try and make myself better. Suffice to say that these are like the New Year's resolutions that everyone else cease to follow even before the end of January.

So this year I didn't waste the time picking myself apart, and deciding what to change. I'm an old dog, and I won't be learning any new tricks this year. Okay, I'm not that old, but it's a cool line, and I wanted to use it. It's my birthday, and therefore I'm allowed!

Anyway the plan this year is not to forget that there are aspects of myself that need a little bit of polishing. No, sir. I know where I need to improve, and I shall - in my own time. It's like me NOT deciding to go to the gym. Once I decided NOT to go, I went more times than when I had decided to go regularly. It's just what makes me special. And that's what today is going to be about. Accepting the wackiness that is me. Reveling in it. After all this day should be more than me binging on some good cake that I won't be going to the gym to burn, right?

(P.S. I'm a bit worried about how people are going to pronounce binging - it had me confused too!)
