Dear me,

Here we find ourselves again. It is getting exhausting beginning every article with a review of failure. Birthdays are always a good date for a fresh start. Unfortunately, that too has passed. So you failed at that too. But anyways, I digress.

As the back of your brain very well knows, July is as good of a day to start as any. I say that as if July is a special month. It’s not. But that said, here is your mission for the remainder of this month:

  1. Ye shall not order food unless you are planning on picking up the food. I have come to realize on-demand services and Uber this-and-that are ultimately going to be a curse on this world. Get some fresh air, save some poor guy a trip, meet the people who feed you, and say thank you once in a while. SUCCESS
  2. Ye shall eliminate fructose from your diet. FAILED
  3. Ye shall wake up at 5:30am. FAILED
  4. Ye shall finish your book. FAILED
  5. Ye shall drink more water. DEFINITELY SUCCESS, TY STOMACH FLU
  6. Ye shall never use ‘lol’ EH, SORT OF
  7. Ye shall get your heart racing every single day. It doesn’t really matter how. FAILED
  8. Ye shall finish your site with a minimum of two series. FAILED
  9. Ye shall have a game plan for the rest of the year. FAILED
  10. Ye shall finish getting strangled by Python sci. FAILED
  11. Ye shall get out there for surf sesh at least twice, even if for a quickie. FAILED
  12. Ye shall lose some weight. Just a suggestion, >5 lbs. FAILED
  13. Ye shall finish moving into this apartment. SUCCESS

— Yourself
