1) Get laid more than I did this year. Only need to get laid three times to exceed this years total, but it is an ambitious goal for me.
2) Work on my people skills.
3) Get a career, not just a job.

Your extremely vague "spoiler" has already prepared you in running for political office. Where should I send my cash and what can you promise in return?

Sorry, I was watching nip/tuck and was caught off guard. Quentin was the obvious carver, so I figured that he would be the last person the writers would choose. They got me.

Fund raising doesn't start until 2008, but thanks for the confidence! I'll be running on the green card, but I'll probably make my decisions based on a combination of loose socialism and what I feel is the spirit of the constitution and the bill of rights. I'll do my best to give incentives to those who use alternative fuels and energy sources. Those using biodiesel, hydrogen, etc. will get a rebate from the city, and can apply for stickers to use the carpool lane. Then I'd start small tax hikes on local buisnesses that dump polution into the air, offering the buisnesses lower taxes if they can become more environmentally friendly. My btoher and I developed asthma because of the polution in San Jose, and I'd like to help those who haven't been effected to that degree yet. I'll try to cover as much of my city in solar shingles as possible. I'd like to get San Jose off the grid (except for wind and hydro). We already have plenty of hydrogen powered public busses, which I had a small part in. I'd also like to work out a better arangement with the teachers unions of the city. I've seen so many strikes lately. It might be necessary to put into place several measures that raise taxes in order to ensure that our teachers can actually feed themselves. Those are generally my larger plans, but it's only a very general explaination. I've got the whole thing planned out (been working on it for a while).

My new years resolutions?

1) Advance as far as possible in Tang Soo Do (see if I can go beyond green belt - which I should get in April or May)
2) Graduate from college in May
3) Get a job that pays well and I enjoy
4) Get and stay in shape - put on some muscle and quit being so scrawny.

Hopefully I can do all of those - but we'll see. If I can't do #2, I'm screwed - the rest are flexible

1. Gain ten pounds and keep my weight at a minimum of 115.
2. Try to talk to people at work more and not hide in my office so much.

I'll be more than willing to donate a few pounds towards this cause

I'm not the new year's resolution making type, but losing this ever-growing beergut and moving forward career-wise are two things very high up on the to-do list.

No more weed. I'm pretty sure I can pull this off as I just don't enjoy getting high anymore.

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions at all - can't remember the last time I made one - but here's an honest thing I'd like to do in 2006 AND a somewhat ambitious resolution like the thread starter asked for :

I would like to cycle across the United States. (I just need to find a way to get the money required to do it!)

In preparing for that, I can accomplish a more typical resolution to actually make a habit of exercising (which I haven't done in at least 4 years).

Oh, and here's an ambitious plan, although it may not seem like it: I'd like to get straight A's for the rest of my classes this year (which will be 8). Trust me, with how lazy I am and how much I procrastinate, that's REALLY ambitious But, if I can get rid of that, straight A's should be nice and easy

To those with the massive 'not the norm' resolutions, I salute you.

To those of you who want to loose weight, quit smoking and cut back on your drinking, maybe you could throw in a resolution along the lines of reading the basic outline of the thread before posting.

Or not. No pressure. Last years resolution was to start fewer arguments


And to those of you thinking about posting here I say this...do it, do it, do it now!

I'm not one for New Year's Resolutions, so the following are things I'd like to sort of get round to doing this year but probably won't -

*Find out what the hell's wrong with me. Always feeling ill...I suspect I might have a stomach ulcer or something.

*Cut down on smoking. So, no cigarettes unless I'm with people or have just finished work, and also, to rapidly reduce the speed at which I smoke cigarettes when drinking. I mean, I'm a social smoker...but I socialise a lot so such a label is uh, misleading, to say the least. I go days without a cigarette and then smoke like half a pack or more in a night.

*Stop caring what other people think so much

*Get out of my comfort zone and meet more new people, instead of only hanging around the close friends and associates I've had for years.

*Kill the creator of the Crazy Frog ringtone and associated products.

I think that's something we can all strive towards this year. The noblest resolution so far I think. A great and selfless act that benefits mankind and the generations to come.
