An Addendum
I read Question #30 wrong in my Year in Review Survey, so I changed “having sex” to “Chick-Fil-A”. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

2010 Year in Review
1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before? I read my name on a Pitchfork byline.
2. Did you keep your New Year’s Resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t really keep New Year’s Resolutions. I try to improve every day.

Resume work on Legit Punks (my instrumental hip-hop album) in earnest

Make a few 5 O’Clock Shadowboxers...

What I've Learned: Martin Douglas
The January 2011 issue of Esquire has their What I’ve Learned feature extended over a great number of pages, featuring a whole bunch of insightful bon mots from an exhaustive list of celebrities that I won’t begin to list here. I thought making a list of my own would be a great way to close out 2010, and foist some unsolicited advice upon all of my lovely followers and readers....

Day 28 - Something that you miss.

Day 27 - A problem that you have had.
Let me tell you guys about a problem I’ve had. I have, more frequently than I’d like to admit, panic attacks and emotional meltdowns in the comfort and privacy of my own home. Just last night, I was lying awake in bed and suffering from headaches I’ve given myself due to my various character flaws, and— after texting a few people I think very highly of— I turned off...
