To Belch or Blog

In 2006, after many failed New Years resolutions, I decided the whole concept of resolutions was a futile, disillusioned attempt for self-improvement. Consequently, when 2008 rolled around, my imperfection-accepting self had developed a sorely addicting new habit: belching.

My first belch came inadvertently, but spiraled into frequent eruptions of conversation-disrupting, mood-killing, gastronomical monsters.
The habit was reinforced after watching a friend receive accolade for the most shockingly blatant belches in the history of womankind. However, instead of the "Niiiice," high-fiving responses that my friend received for hers, mine came with head-turning, horrifying shrills of "OMG THAT IS SO GROSS." After months of reprimanding looks of disgust, I thought it might be time to revive the New Years resolution and take back my femininity through belch censorship.

A short-lived thought. Days later, I found the liberating effects of the belch are far too satisfying to give up. I dare you to let one rip and not fall in love with the glorious feeling.

Thus came another failed New Years resolution. However, because I cannot accept defeat 21 measly days into the new year, I have decided to replace it with a resolution everyone can enjoy: Keeping up with this blog.

The frequency is yet to be determined, but with my last entry being early October, I can promise improvement.

Happy Belated New Year. Good luck with them resolutions.

And to my fellow female belcher friend, rock on.
