New Year's Resolutions
I know, I know, they're lame, you give up on them halfway through January, but I was wondering, what are your New Year's Resolutions?
Here is a breakdown of mine. - Plant (2) trees for the one I chopped down for the Holidays. - Decide where I want to go with my life and DO IT! This one is broken down into about 10 smaller steps that I won't bore you with. - Be a good uncle for the nephew/neice about to join my family. - Send more Thank You notes, send more cards in general, and pick up postcards for friends and family from giftshops where ever I travel. - Go backpacking twice a month. - Even though I do not have any sort of camera, always have a disposable camera readily accessible. There is a start, what resolutions do you want to accomplish this upcoming year? |

Why have so many people felt the need to rubbish this thread already? Anyway, since only cool people don't make resolutions, and I’m not cool, here are mine;
- To reach a stable body weight of ~90 kilos - To eat at least 2 pieces of fruit a day - Stop neglecting my abdominals - Read more rather than waste so much time on the internet - Pull straight HD's in the final year of my degree - Get my average over 85. |

i like this thread so fooie to all of you who dont.
well anyway here is mine - get my life soughted out as to where i am going (much like kurty[B]) and become myself again (ie get over the fact that my life took a 180 degree spin) - save some more money for going overseas/moving (depending on which way i go with what i do) - talk to/meet more complete strangers - start some new sports, start meditation and start a radio course at the local volunteer radio station - start up a local festival of music in my home town - (this follows on from the one above) start up other festival type things (ie short crap film festival) and try to find a local coffee house where you could hold open mic nights. edit: - learn how to play guitar and become good at it.

To get my life sorted out... it's a bit messed up at the moment
Edit: Highway, I see that you've said you want to pick up guitar. I'd recommend getting a cheap acoustic guitar. Take it slow to start with, because your fingers will hurt when you start... but it's one of the most enjoyable hobbies around.

I personally don't believe in resolutions... because I never keep them
New Years is just a time where i look at the pervious year, asess what I'm doing with my life, and make life choices based on that. If I were FORCED to make a new years resolution though, it would be less of a pushover and more assertive in all aspects of my life. I'm filing that one as a "long term goal" and not as a resolution... I think it's more meaningful that way.

I don't really make resolutions. I just kind of go with the flow. I don't say "ok, this year I am going to do this." It's more like, "ok, it would be nice if I could do this, so if it happens like that, then woohoo for me."
