old year special

we've got a day of special programming for you here at frank's new blog, but we'll start things off simple. that's right, it's the hits and misses of the past year, 2017.

2017 misses

1. 2017 new year's resolution: 2-handed dunk on a standard 10 ft. basketball rim
I failed my resolution for the year. I didn't even succeed in 1-handed dunking, which was one of my progression goals on the way to achieving my resolution. I was going to jump rope every day to get stronger and maximize my jumping ability. I didn't though. so that's miss #1! ok, up next...

2. that's misses, not mrs.
wrong kind of "miss," ha ha, still single. just a little joke.

3. not one of the 7 people I would date or at least be friends with reciprocated
sometimes when you put yourself out there you get hurt. let me tell you, this one hurts. I guess I just sort of thought that I was... I dunno... creative enough? guess not. sorry. I know this is a bit of a sad way to end a year--running through misses. a real downer.

4. viral video attempt
I made a few topical and dynamic videos and they all felt like viral sensations to me. maybe I'm not creative enough after all. this list wasn't one of my best ideas.

5. the united states men's national team failed to qualify for the world cup
yes, for the first time in a long while the united states won't be at the fifa world cup. looking at the competition in concacaf you would hope they would qualify...it's not a very hard group. and 4 of the 6 make it!!? even panama qualified. it will be sad not to see the usmnt play this summer. also, I was thinking about it, and you would think that at least one of them might at least acknowledge my list, that's all I'm saying. I just would like a bit of recognition. even if nothing came of it, I wouldn't mind. but just silence? it's cruel.

6. didn't win the lottery
I just wish they would give a reason. any reason. even if they were lying. just for a bit of closure. maybe they're super busy.

7. this stupid list
I'm going to skip ahead to the hits because I'm really starting to get ticked off and bummed out, which is never a good combination. I'll come back to the misses later when I'm feeling more up to it.

2017 hits

1. the year I singlehandedly saved blogging
you're welcome. and let me say unto you, thank you as well. speaking of...

2. the year we singlehandedly saved blogging
yes, I am not so bold as to keep all the credit just for me. I am not zeus on top of mount olympus. no, I am just.. me. but without you, my loyal readers, I wouldn't even be that.

3. no cavities
another year, another clean bill of health from the dentist. but my gums are a little rough. I think I need to floss more or something.

4. had some great ideas
I've had some pretty great ideas in 2017.

5. I turned 23
comment about hit from 2017.

6. cool haircut (mullet)
it didn't last very long. it was pretty cool while it lasted though.

7. bop it trick shots, dabbing, new dabbing, don't dabbing
all in all, hilarity ensued in what I'm trying to say.

8. talked to maybe 20 girls
that's almost two a month! not bad! I counted some of them multiple times. it might be more accurate to say I had 20 conversations with girls. (still good.)

9. I thought episode 8 was pretty good
I liked the new star wars movie. sue me, heh. speaking of, be on the lookout for my upcoming post with my rankings of the movies I saw in 2017.

10. had some pretty good pizza
and A LOT of it. now that I think about it, 2017 wasn't so bad. wasn't so good either. the real bummer is that they didn't say anything. not one of them. is it so hard? they didn't have to agree to date me or whatever. just something to show they saw it, and then I would take the hint and let it slide. I'm leaving this one in 2017, that's for sure.

What about you?!
any hits or misses of 2017 you'd like to share? I'd like to know!


be sure to check back throughout the day to see more posts reflecting on the year 2017 as part of the old year special

Hm. This place is a little dusty. I bet you are wondering what on Earth I have been up to for the last 16 months! (Wow, that's a long ti...
