#VINNY’S DIARY/NOTEBOOK
New Year Resolutions are for romantic wimps. Ok,
not true. But it sounds like something you have heard a lot from different
quarters. Well, I want 2014 to be my year for living, going the extra-mile and
breaking my 2013 records, and achievements. Uhm, you get my point.
My head is
on steroids over this list of things I want to do this year. Even though most are
preposterous, some are quite attainable, but if only I overpower one beat -that
insane spirit of procrastination.
Here goes. This
year I want to travel down to the Coast and sneak into those sandy beaches, and
also get a taste of costal music, especially Taarab and experience their culture.
I want to
embrace writing more thus year. Not just through my Nairobi’s blog (Nairobi’z
Blogazine); but also write more poetry and more fiction stories. I want to
support a children’s home for vanity’s sake but also for philanthropy. I also
want to engage more wit people and bring a great inspiration into another
being. You know, make a difference?
This year I want
to follow my media personality dreams; even more with a positive vigor and
attitude and determination. This year I want to read more and watch less TV. I will
go back and give videography a second shot. I will also take my photography
seriously and capture some of the best award-winning moments for this year.
I will also
make it a point to know most strangers in my life starting with the names of
the guys who pick garbage ever Wednesday.
This year after
volunteering with a cancer trust last year; I have to pluck up the courage to
do that physical examination or prostate cancer. Then when I’m done with it, I will
grow my beard in November and get also more male friends to do the same; in
celebration of “movember”-the prostate cancer awareness campaign
.
Lastly, I want
to read the Bible, work on my relationship with Daddy God, a new vigor t
overcome my addictions and stronghold struggles; whine less to God and tell him
‘thank you” even more, because there is so (so so) much to be grateful for. Even
with a receding hairline…hahahaaha!
And this year,
I must join Instagram and Twitter!
