Holy shit. It’s almost March. One of my resolutions this year was to write more so I guess it’s only natural that I haven’t written at all. Does anyone ever really follow through with their resolutions anyway?
But how the fuck are you? I’m awesome. Actually, 2018 has been a fucking nightmare so far, but I am undaunted in my resolve to make this a better god damn year than 2017. Fuck you, 2017. 2018 hasn’t been all bad, though. I recently got to spend the weekend with an amazing friend that sadly lives across the country. You know who you are and you’re the best. I’ve also made some new friends here on the page. You guys/gals are also the best, but not quite as good as the other one. And I’ve lost my train of thought…
Oh yeah, resolutions.
So 3 days prior to March seems to be as good of a time as any to lay down some New Year’s resolutions. I may be a little behind the eight ball on this one, but don’t judge me. I’ll cut you.
1: Failed this one Already
Stop fucking procrastinating… Alright, maybe I’ll save that for 2019.
2: Drink More Beer
100 more beers actually. In 2018 I pledge to drink at least 100 unique beers. That’s about two new beers a week if math is to be believed. I’m using the android and iPhone app, Untappd, to track all this. I started 2018 with 72 beers on my list. I’ve added 23 unique beers since then. I think I’m doing alright. If you use the app, follow me. I’m Themaddadblog… obviously. If you don’t have the app, check it out, start drinking, and then follow me. Your attention validates my existence.
3: Write More
Alright, we’ve already covered that I suck at this one, but I’ve got the rest of the year to turn this around. And do you wanna know something weird? I consider myself a parenting blog on account of the whole Mad Dad thing, but I have never actually written about parenting. Not even once. Actually, there was one. Ok two… But those was over a year ago. I need to fucking focus and start writing about the shit you all care about. Booze. And then I’ll throw some shit about my kids or kids in general in there. You know, like a parenting blog.
4: Video
My first post of 2018 was supposed to be a Mad Dad video. I’ve got the YouTube page and everything, but see Resolution #1. I procrastinated the shit out of that. Still, lets get some drunken rants up on the internet for people to watch. That way you can see my descent into madness for yourself.
5: Merchandise
I honestly don’t know if this is even going to happen. Merchandise costs money, of which I have very little. Kids are expensive. So is divorce, but I would fucking love to start working with some developers to design logos for shirts, glassware, and other things. I also have some ideas that I think are pretty fucking cool, but I’d hate to ruin the surprise or more accurately, set any type of expectations whatsoever. So merchandise is on the back burner, but who knows, maybe a Kickstarter is in the cards for 2018.
And that’s it. Ok bye!
