I got rid of a lot of things this past year--very old clothing, papers I'll never need to reference again--and I hope I can hold on to that philosophy about keeping things clean and simple.

What can go? My bad attitude and love of candles (it's an expensive habit).

I've got a pile of clothes to donate, and yeah, this winter we'll be clearing the basement of old papers and other random unused stuff.

What can go? Craptacular food trucks.
What can stay? Local beers. More, please.

Go! any one who got a beard as part of the beards are cool fad and any women associated with them or admires of said beards. I'm thinking more of a rapture like causation that would take them all away suddenly.

Stay! The Occupy Wall Street Movement and its satellites like Occupy Chicago, etc.,

The Marlboro Lights have to go. And the 20 lbs and the too-much Tempranillo.

The girl will stay because she is awesome and I'm going to marry her in 2012.

Giving a shit about politics can go, at least for 2012. It doesn't matter ... we're a center-right country full of assholes I heard on CSPAN today talking about their "Christian" values (stopping the Gays with their Agenda, the evil sluts who want to abort babies, the war on Christmas, rinse-later-repeat) ... we're fuckin' doomed so I'm going to try to just let it go away in my mind for a while.

Getting pissed off at stupid shit like pubic hipster beards can go. Yet loving Spook will always stay. I love you Spook. Happy 2012. Keep on keepin' on, man.

Go: Indie music, foodie culture, and all those young men who don't know that they're dressing like women.

Stay: Everything else. If I haven't noticed it, then it doesn't bother me.
