10 Steps to Being a Better Person : Part 2

No More Fast Food

Today is the day that I finally say goodbye to my good friend the Big Mac. One of my worst habits is whenever I'm hungry I bust a move down to a drive through instead of just cooking something myself (or opting for the much healthier sub). This decision impacts more than myself now that I spend most of my days with my son. I don't need to be turning him into a fast food addict and a virtual fat ass like dear old dad. Also, I have not seen the inside of a gym in over a year, so adding on the pounds while doing nothing to work it off is really a bad decision. At 35 I don't exactly have the metabolism to burn this shit off anymore by just standing there.

So today I say goodbye to that creepy clown and his army of tasty, tasty food. I will truely miss our drunken 4am visits.

10 Steps to Being a Better Person : Part One

Step Number One : Kill the Debt (and stop piling it on)

Yesterday I gave my VISA card to my fiance and said that it wasn't to return. Yes I know cutting it up would be more effective but I want it to still be an option in an emergency. From now on not having money for a slurpee is NOT an emergency though. Last year we renovated the house and paid off all of our debts/loans and put it all into one easy payment on our house. The problem that came from that is that my maxed out credit card had been unleashed from its previously unusable state. Like a fucktard, whenever I was strapped for cash or wanted a big ticket item, there was Mr. VISA smiling warmly at me saying "you have $5000 right here to play with." Now, to no surprise, that card is nearing its max again. A new even greater max thanks to them raising my limit by another two thousand.

My first goal is to pay that fucker off and never look at debts warm embracing smile again. Period.

My Favorite Writers : #1 Chuck Dixon

When I first moved to a big city that had comic book shops I immediately started to buy Batman comics. Chuck Dixon is responsible for a large part of Batman in the 90's and molded my view of the Dark Knight and his cast of allies, most notably Nightwing. Dixon was on board for major stories like Knightfall, Cataclysm and Contagion. Dick Grayson is one of my all time favorite characters because of Dixon's writing of the solo series Nightwing. Other people who tackled Batman did a good job as well, but he seemed to do the best character development and story telling of the time.

Sadly Chuck has had a recent falling out with DC Comics and I will probably never see him write my favorites again. Then again, never say never in comic world.
