2009 Resolutions 1. Party 2. Bullshit. 3. Stay baby free.
Sounds about right. My standard answer to questions about my NYE plans was “not get pregnant”.
The Non Invite
I just got a Facebook invite to a New Year’s Eve party hosted by one of my former friends. Obviously I’m not really invited but it’s being done as a total cunt move to let me know that I’m missing out.
This is why we’re not friends anymore, because you can’t even be an adult about shit like this.
If I was an asshole, I would crash your party, but I got plans...

now if only all americans knew that 99.9% of canada does not live in an igloo, ride a dogsled team to work, survive solely off caribou meat or actually think a toque and snowsuit is a fashion statement, i’d...

Do it. Excusing yourself from sham friendships feels shitty for a while but you’re better off. I’ve been doing it slowly but surely and I don’t miss the drama one bit.

My resolution for 2009 is thus: disassociate myself from toxic friendships. There are others of course, but I’ve slowly realized after years of feeling inadequate or used that one of the most...

You're fat because I hate you
Sometimes I question the mental capacity of some of the people I work with. The office is medium sized, but it’s just a big rectangle with a supply room off to the side at the back.

How very generous of you
My boss: So remember how I said that you should be at work at 9 am New Year's Day?
Nico: Yeah?
My boss: You guys can come in at noon for a half-day if you want
Nico: That's really generous of you. Maybe I won't still be drunk then...
My boss: That would be nice.

Too much messed up shit is occurring in this corrupted world so I’ll be taking a break by surrounding myself with my loved ones and just refocusing on collective reasoning and living until I’m ready to write about some more meaningless things on here.
