The Kills - The last goodbye
"One thing that frustrates me about the airlines is the policy charging passengers for luggage based on weight: Me: 159 pounds + 55 pound suitcase
Guy in front of me: 300 pounds + 45 pound suitcase I get charged a hefty weight fine because my suitcase is 5 pounds overweight. If airlines are going to charge us for the weight of our luggage, they should assess our total weight, not just the weight of our luggage. It’s only fair."

good:
New Yorkers have the highest life expectancy in the nation. Why? They smoke less, walk more, and have more friends and neighbors. And because of a bunch of other reasons. Guess it’s time to put those “urban health penalty” myths to rest.

Year 2011, comparing to the Holstee Manifesto.
This is your life.
Do what you love, and do it often. Rock Climbing, listening to music, sewing, having walks alone, craft, and working: I never spend to much time doing what I love.
If you don’t like something, change it. I DID IT. Furniture, job, state of mind… I’m still working on some old habits, but it’s globally positive.
If you don’t like your job, quit. I DID IT. Quitting is probably the best decision I made this year. I know work in a wonderful place.
If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. Done.
If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. I found the love of my life, I’m now feeling safe and happy. 2 years and counting. I also professionally fell in love twice this year…
Stop over analyzing, life is simple. Nah. Still working on this point.
All emotions are beautiful. Totally understood that statement this year.
When you eat, appreciate every last bite.
Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Still hippie stuff for me. Need to work on this one.
Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. I clearly don’t have the guts for that.
Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. You already know that a trip to Japan opened my eyes to a lot of thing. I know travel the world.
Some opportunities only come once; seize them. Understood this year, too.
Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. My job is to create, every day is a surprise.
Live your dream, and wear your passion. Working on it ! ;)
Life is short. Oh. Yeah.
