Tacky on Resolutions

Mistakes define us as people, and we make thousands of them throughout our year. It is because of all these countless mishaps and wrong turns that New Years Resolutions are so very necessary.

I love the idea of New Years Resolutions, and I usually make a few every year, but I never follow through with them. I either forget by February or realize how stupid they are due to my hyperactivity and forgetfulness. This time will be different though, I swear. Because they will be on here. Public. For everyone (the five of you) to see. I won’t forget about my lovely blog for a while, so I’ll always remember them.

So ha, hyperactivity and forgetfulness. Ha.

There are two main kinds of New Years Resolutions. There are the sort of vague kinds, such as “I will be a better person.”, and there are also very specific ones, like “I promise to stop eating chips at 1 in the morning and will exercise from 4:30 to 5:30 EVERY DAY.” I will probably be making both kinds.

#1: Make every day a good day.

#2: Have a set schedule of things to do. Do them.

#3: Pay better attention to things around you.

#4: Learn the art of rhetoric.

#5: Learn how to play the Ukulele

#6: Do something crazy in a public place. Something that has to do with said ukulele.

#7: Upload at least one youtube video.

#8: Learn how to improvise. Write a song.

#9: Never say no because you’re afraid what other people might think.

#10: Learn how to stop procrastinating.

There’s probably more, and if I think of them I’ll post another list.

Here’s to a magnificent New Year!

Lake


Here’s a poem I wrote a little while ago. I came across it on an old writing thread of mine, and decided to repost it on here.

Have a wonderful afternoon. Or night, depending on where you are or what you consider 5 PM to be.

It was an epic day,
I can still remember,
Climbing through
Jagged rocks that bit
And the gnarled roots
That tried to
drag me
down.
There was blackened dirt
Under my bitten nails
From scratching furrows in
Tree bark and loose soil.

I broke through the cell of trees,
And found myself submerged,
The clouded sky above
Pressing on my lungs.
The lake beneath was clear,
Fringed lightly with green,
A painter’s masterpiece.

I felt so very tall,
Perched atop
A mountain’s head.
And I sat, content
To watch the world
Drag by.

Tacky on Introductions

  I feel like I should start out my blog with some sort of an introductory post in order to set the mood. After all, first-impressions are supposed to be very important. Unfortunately, I don’t really know how to write a proper, paragraphed introductory post, and I’m sort of afraid that it won’t be interesting or intelligent enough to capture people’s attention. So here’s a list of FAQs instead. I know no one has actually asked me anything yet, but I don’t know how else to summarize my blog without sounding really boring.

What will this blog be like?

Pretty cheerful, I’m hoping, though I don’t really have a particular direction yet. It might turn out funny too, though I’m not trained on being humorous on command. It’ll include writing, for the most part. I might post a few doodles or videos, if I think they’re good enough for strangers to see.

Positive Feedback? What?

  I read a lot of blogs and watch a lot of youtube channels that mainly consist of people ranting about things they don’t like or making fun of people in a very humorous fashion. While these people are really funny and entertaining, I feel like the world needs a little more positive feedback as well.

Why are you calling yourself Tacky?

Look up Tacky the Penguin. He and I have several similarities.

Why make a blog? You do realize that there are thousands and thousands of other blogs, and that yours really isn’t that significant, right?

  I’ve always wanted to make one, because I like to write and make people smile, and this seemed like a combination of the two. I don’t really want to do this to achieve fame and fortune, but it would be nice to know that I’m a part of someone’s day. (Oh hey, let’s see what Tacky wrote today…)

I bet I forgot a lot of really important information, but I’m unnaturally excited about posting this.

This turned out much longer than I expected.

Tacky

P.S.- If someone figures out how to properly customize the themes, please tell me, because this one is driving me insane. :b
