From The Concrete Jungle

Christmas Time

I’m in love with Christmas time. I have three weeks to enjoy myself, and I plan to utilize every moment of it. I already started on some of my plans, one of which was to read some books I’ve been intending to read for some time. I thought it would be good to finish off books that I haven’t read, but told myself I would, first. I need to finish this book on Post-Marxism, though I’m not enjoying it really. It’s pretty much a wank fest of his failed organizing, and not so much on theory; hope it gets better. I’ve also decided to read more fiction. I haven’t read any fiction in years, unless you count Toni Morrison and Angela Davis as fiction, which they are, but they were assigned for a class, which doesn’t count. I kind of want to get into children’s books. Yeah, I said it. Children’s book.

Other than that, I want to get my music slection organized and get my exercise schedule figured out for next year. I’ve started my New Year’s resolution early, which is to be in better shape. I asked myself, “Self! wouldn’t it be better if you already met your New Year’s resolution by the 1st of January?!!!???” It’s such a good plan to do it that way. I’ve made such strides! I have my strength back from before I got sick, and I’m running again! I feel good.

Take Care Loved Ones,
