Atypical NY's resolution leads to creation of blog.
This year I am not making the typical New Year's resolution. In years past my resolutions have always revolved around food; not eating it (fats and carbs) or eating more of it (fruits and vegetables) ~ you get the picture. Most of these resolutions lasted a couple of weeks some not more than two or three days. So this year I decided to try something new; my New Year's resolution is to add a little bit of culture to my life. Each week I will attempt to learn something new or add a new cultural experience to my life. I will then document my discoveries and experiences on this blog.
How this idea came about:
I was a having a particularly harrowing day at work. It was December 21st, the day of my company's holiday luncheon. I had been responsible for organizing this little event. Now remember I am an accountant so party planning is not my usual forte. It didn't go smoothly from the beginning; while I was transporting the food a large puddle of gravy ended up on the front seat of my car. Then as I was setting up the food a particularly annoying coworker proceeded to tell everyone that I was ruining the meal. I was heating the food at all the wrong temperatures; I had too much water in the nesco and not enough water in the potatoes. He then told me that he thought the ornament exchange I had organized was hokey. In the midst of all of this I was greeting by an auditor who wanted just a few minutes of my time for a surprise audit. After much finagling I ended up getting rid of the auditor and got the party under control, as everyone was eating I escaped to my office for a little reprieve. I signed onto the internet and began searching for a website or blog that would provide me with an escape and perhaps a little bit of culture for a just a couple of minutes before I went back to my mundane office life. I was not successful. I then had a great idea. Since I couldn't find what I was looking for I would create my own blog; one that would provide just a little bit of culture for a few couple of minutes each day.
That is how this blog came about. Hopefully I will keep my resolution for 2006.
