What does it take to be a superhero?

Things I've noticed after 20 days of 2010:

I'm a little bitter. Maybe a lot bitter.

I have great friends and family and a great support system. I've raised a lot of money with barely any money for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.

I'm still always going to be a great friend.

Advice: "The first star you see may not be a star." - SoCo

Theory: The less you do, the less people expect of you.
Proof: I constantly do favors for people. I've learned that if you are constantly giving 100% of yourself everyday, people notice when you only give 99.9%. Then they make a big deal out of how you aren't doing your best. Those same people will say make yourself happy and then you can make others happy, they mean you should stop doing favors for other people and still do everything for them.
Solution: If you only give 50% the majority of the time, then people will applaud you when you give 51%. So why should anyone ever give 100%?

If you're invisible, just wait it out. Eventually someone will need your help and freak out when they can't find the invisible man.

Girls don't like the nice guy. You at least have to be at least part douche. The higher up on the douche scale the better. Just don't be off the chart douchey because that's too much. "What does it take to be a superhero in my world. Make no mistake these villains always get the girl." - SoCo

I like hockey again. Go Devils.

Reading books about dragons is ok.

Doing math is fun. "So read your books, but stay out late some nights. Some nights, and don't think that you can't stop by the bar." - JM

I'll never be good enough for some people. It hurts more when you think you are close to those people.

I'm done letting the little things get in the way of my dreams. "Little minds let little games burn big old dreams with little flames." - SoCo

'010

So it's 2010 and I've decided to call it oh-10 and not just 10.

My new years resolutions:

-Join the Y and start working out again.
-Pass 2 actuarial exams (the first one is on February 13th, 6 weeks from today)
-Stop stressing about the little things
-Stop trying to force people to like me or be my friend. If people don't talk to me on AIM or keep in touch via email, I should not force them by emailing them.
-Play more video games
-Read more books
-Drink more water

Happy New Year everyone and I'm off to study while I watch some college basketball.
