What social gathering rocked your socks off in  2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p>My 40th birthday party was pretty awesome. Although there were people who couldn&#8217;t make it and that I didn&#8217;t get to see at either party. I&#8217;m sure a good time was had by all.<\/p>\n<p>The Karaoke portion of my birthday was zany and awesome. Singing badly at the top of your lungs with a group of people is very much fun. And having dinner with the people who mean the most to you is also a wonderful thing. And then a long weekend with Sam and Violet is always amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Day 10 &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverb10.com\/december-10-wisdom\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Wisdom<\/a>. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?<\/p>\n<p>The wisest decision I made this year was to take in Ishtar. She is a very sweet cat even though she claws the shit out of my couch. And if I think hard about it, this couch is the remnants of a shitty relationship anyway so why not let her claw the crap out of it? She is symbolically clawing that asshole everytime&#8230; or at least I let myself think of it that way, then I&#8217;m not so angry about her clawing the shit out of my couch. But she has been entertaining, and I hope Mabel likes her well enough&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Day 11 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverb10.com\/december-11-11-things\/\" target=\"_blank\">11 Things<\/a> What are 11 things your life doesn\u2019t need in 2011? How will  you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 11 things  change your life?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>negative thinking<\/li>\n<li>poor eating habits<\/li>\n<li>untrustworthy\/deceitful people<\/li>\n<li>more bills<\/li>\n<li>unsupportive people<\/li>\n<li>negativity in general<\/li>\n<li>shallow guys<\/li>\n<li>worry<\/li>\n<li>loneliness<\/li>\n<li>materialism<\/li>\n<li>crappy weather<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I think if I get rid of these things I&#8217;ll be a much happier person. I&#8217;ve already taken steps toward keeping the unsupportive people as well as the untrustworthy people out of my life. I can&#8217;t be around people I don&#8217;t trust nor people who aren&#8217;t supportive. I think avoiding shallow guys is just good in general for the self esteem.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been working on the negative thinking and the negativity in general. It&#8217;s not easy but it&#8217;s very important. When you stop the negative thinking, and try focusing on being positive, it does change your whole view of the world around you.<\/p>\n<p>I think getting rid of all these things will definitely go a long way toward a better state of mind.<\/p>\n<p>Day 12 &#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverb10.com\/december-12-body-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Body Integration<\/a> This year, when did you feel the most integrated with  your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn\u2019t mind and body, but  simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present?<\/p>\n<p>No, there was never a moment where there wasn&#8217;t a mind and body. I&#8217;ve never had a &#8220;cohesive you&#8221; moment. I think I always separate my mind from my body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 9 &#8211; Party Prompt: Party.
