New Year Resolution Posting - Make next year the biggest year of your life
 
Now I don’t want to be overly optimistic here, but please people try to think big. Most people blow their new years resolution within the first couple of months anyway, so you may as well fail at something where people can say “well, they bit off more than they could chew trying that.”

None of this ‘I’m going to lose weight,’ or ‘I’m going to stop smoking/ drinking/ being lazy.’ If you really wanted those things you should just do them, not be procrastinating the last few weeks of the year away not even with a hollow promise, but with the promise, of a hollow promise.

Come on people make it big and extreme. Something that even if you fail trying will still be something that you can tell your grandkids about. The kind of thing that has us all reading and going ‘Oooooo’ at the wonder of it all.

Ok here is mine to start the ball rolling:-

This year my new year’s resolution is to start my own cult.

What do you reckon? Do want a piece of this action?

;)

taboo 12-19-2005 03:29 PM

Sultana 12-19-2005 03:36 PM

My resolutions are the same as always: To watch more TV and to drink more.

You're my hero!
I really dont't have any resolutions. Not to fuck up too bad I guess.

frogza 12-19-2005 03:47 PM

Make enough as freelance illustrator to quit my job

joemc91 12-19-2005 04:01 PM

I have a few of them:
Travel internationally at least once a month (provided I'm not in training)
Improve my guitar playing
Actually be able to pick girls up (ok, I'm holding my breath there)
Get in better shape
Pick up an artistic hobby

Yeah, it's a lot, but I'm practically unemployed!

cellophanedeity 12-19-2005 04:02 PM

To actually pass my courses.

haha, a bigger goal than I would have thought.

Siege 12-19-2005 09:39 PM

Get laid.

Or get fit and do well in school for a change.

Either way would be nice

redsfan11 12-20-2005 02:51 AM

Same as last year -- get in shape.

maleficent 12-20-2005 04:34 AM

Be a hermit
Whine more
Complain more
Drink more coffee
Become more cynical, jaded and bitter
Roll my eyes so often, as a scientific experiment, to see if they really will get stuck in the back of my head.
Plan world domination
Find someone who will tolerate me for more than 10 minutes at a stretch.

ngdawg 12-20-2005 05:35 AM

I never make New Year's resolutions-I don't like to make promises I can't keep. But if I was to make any it would be:
Quit smoking
Find a 'normal' job

Charlatan 12-20-2005 05:53 AM

I resolve to the be the best serial killer in the history of the world... ever.

Of course, this means you will never know of my success. To be the best means to not be caught and not discovered. You will just have to wonder if I am coming for you.

yabobo 12-20-2005 06:10 AM

I've had enough. I'm going home. The year to die.....

Charlatan I'll p.m you my address....

Well, if you ever need any pointers.... ;)

Something big, eh?

Very well. This year I will learn and master the art of time control.

Of course, I have no idea how to start....maybe I should buy a watch?

ShaniFaye 12-20-2005 07:20 AM

To own the oldest biggest still habital castle in scotland and keep a harem of kilted men (who arent that kind of "gay" good looking like thats always posted in the full monty forum) in my fully furnished dungeon :thumbsup:

Glory's Sun 12-20-2005 07:26 AM

I only have one resolution.. to drink more.

Hey! You are *so* copying me!

jwoody 12-20-2005 08:14 AM

I'm going to reclaim my ancestoral land from the sheep farmers and build affordable and environmentally sustainable/low impact housing for all.

Just you wait and see.

ShaniFaye 12-20-2005 08:22 AM

jwoody, you can be in my harem if you do that in scotland :icare:

Northumberland first, then Scotland.

Then.... the WORLD!!!!!

Well, you know, the world can wait until 2007. I don't want to burn myself out.

ShaniFaye 12-20-2005 08:39 AM

but jwoody!! just think....as part of a harem of kilted men, you'd have lots of help in reclaiming your ancestoral land!!!!

jwoody 12-20-2005 08:53 AM

After the dust settles.... Scotland can be all yours.

We'll put an end to a thousand years of non-cooperation and move forward into a whole new era. :D

la petite moi 12-20-2005 09:46 AM

Hmmm...my resolution is to transfer schools successfully (no hitches) and to travel.

DonovanDuVal 12-20-2005 12:53 PM

Some pretty hardcore resolutions going on there.

Harems and dungeons, serial killers, dying, reclaiming ancestral territory, moving to Europe, quit work and become a freelance illustrator, mastering time control, plan world domination while being a hermit.

I think you can all be pretty proud of yourselves with those.

Come on the rest, let's see what you are made of. See if you can top any of those.

Oh God, I'm becoming a thread cheerleader. - Not a resolution, I can assure you.

Gatorade Frost 12-20-2005 01:46 PM

I intend to make a 4.0 my spring semester, lose 50 pounds, and have sex at least 150 times in the next 365 days. :thumbsup:

Cynthetiq 12-20-2005 01:57 PM

To travel more than I did this year... I'm not sure that we'll be able to do the same total mileage (which I haven't figured out how to get but I'm sure I can figure it out,) and total destinations.

There's 194 countries and 437 cities with over 1 million people in them to go visit. While I don't think I can do the pokeman of getting them all, I'd like to see as many as I can. There's got to be a way I can do this as a lifestyle and not have to work at a day job. It would be great to do my job from where ever I am in the world via the internet connection. Maybe in my lifetime I'll be able to work that way too.

Suave 12-20-2005 05:02 PM

I am going to make one hundred million dollars on the stock market within 6 months, and buy my own island in the south Pacific. I will then find a way to completely control the international market for watercress! Muhahahaha.

Slippery Slope 12-20-2005 05:51 PM

I'm going to transform my garden into such a landscaping masterpiece that
it'll get on TV and be in all the gardening mags and members of the public
from all over the land will want tickets to come and view it.

That or quit smoking.

abaya 12-20-2005 07:05 PM

Major goals for 2006:
1) To understand myself better and know what I want. Basically to quit bullshitting myself.

2) To learn how to love ktspktsp better in the second year of our separation in a long-distance relationship.

3) To figure out whether I should continue in my PhD program.
--If I do continue, then to decide whether I can risk delaying my fieldwork for possibly two years for the sake of above relationship, and decide what to do with that time.
--If I don't continue, then to decide what the hell to do with the rest of my life.

Minor goals (that matter a lot for my daily sanity):
Keep going to weekly counseling, working out 3 times a week, tidying my apartment once a week, and cleaning my bathroom at least once a month. And to give meditation a serious try, in an attempt to avoid the severe bitterness that has enveloped my life lately.

Elphaba 12-20-2005 07:42 PM

Quit smoking. It sounds small, but very important in my little niche in the world. Keeping the body count low in the attempt, is also a resolution.

Sweetpea 12-20-2005 08:13 PM

To be happier

that's it.

:)

Willravel 12-20-2005 08:30 PM

Poppinjay 12-21-2005 05:42 AM

I can only offer my part in this resolution, but with help, I resolve to have a child in the '06.

barenakedladies 12-21-2005 06:01 AM

new years resolution:

little_tippler 12-21-2005 07:02 AM

hmmmm...thinking big.

Buy my own house with a view of the sea and a big terrace
have my art studio in the same house that I live in
Earn enough through my art work to quit my current job
make at least 3 new good friends and go out more
be happy on my 26th birthday

Eweser 12-21-2005 07:41 AM

To win the first big lottery in Oklahoma, then quit my job and raise my sheep. Might do some coding on the side for fun. Send my brother back to college and put enough away to send my sister to college wherever she wants to go....oh yeah, pay my pickup off and build a house. The rest I'll make up as I go along.

snowy 12-21-2005 11:16 AM

1) Save enough money to pay off a bill that's been hanging over my head for some time
2) Save enough money to go to Rochester (No. 1 has to happen first, but I'm trying to ferret away small amounts of cash for the trip). As it's around birthday time I expect to get some "birthday help" from parents/boyfriend, but we'll see.
3) Continue to improve my culinary skills by cooking more often and more adventurously, and also to work on my baking
4) To write the cookbook I want to--the subject would be how to change recipes for carnivores into recipes for vegetarians that carnivores want to eat too (this is a subject near and dear to my heart, as my SO is a vegetarian and I am not, and as most traditionally vegetarian recipes try and sneak in all these things you would not want to eat I tend towards modifying existing non-vegetarian recipes).
