change is the only constant...

the beginning of the year is a peculiar thing. one day you're buried under all the afflictions you've brought upon yourself over the last year (and beyond), and the next day you've forgiven yourself in hopes of shedding your personal demons. THIS year i resolve to fill in the blank. THIS year i resolve NOT to fill in the blank. so silly. it's like the beginning of the new year is the only time for introspection/self evaluation. like the new year is the only time to do something about the things your conscience has been nagging you about. or is it?

i personally believe that stagnation is one of the most evil things that afflicts humans. and it's not just me that thinks so. apparently "sloth" is one of the 7 deadly scratch and sniff stickers (sins) in the christian moralisphere. so, i challange myself and i challange everyone else to, as Heraclitus said about 2500 years ago, "make change a constant". this year, resolve to be dynamic; resolve to by flexible/ply able; resolve to not get stuck in the muck; resolve to "make change a constant". if you do so, come NYE 2011, you will have nothing left to resolve. to me, as MS says, "that's a good thing".

i guess, given this soapbox lecture, i should resolve to be dynamic about something. so, in the spirit of the new year, and it's obligatory resolutions, i resolve to continuously evaluate my judgmental attitude this year, with the intention of constantly changing it. however, this resolution shall not pertain to musical taste (or lack thereof). if you request i play briteny, miley, ludacris, or whatever crap music you like, don't expect me to let you down easy. i have a pretty open mind to most any music, artist, song, but even i have limits.

in a superficial demonstration of change, I've changed the blog look and feel a bit. feel free to comment (honestly).

as i mentioned in the last post, besides the resolutions, the other thing that happens this time of year is "best of" lists. SO, i'll leave you with some of my favorite blubeats this year. this list contains some of my favorite tracks acquired in 2009. enjoy and have a happy, fruitful and dynamic 2010!
