So it's still a little over a month away, but the New Year is approaching us! Anyone have any new years resolutions? What have your past resolutions been and have they been successful? Do you make up resolutions and then never do them?
I have two right now that I can think of:
1. Take better care of my teeth. My teeth are basically shit and I need to take better care of them.
2. Become less shy. I suck at talking to people (unless it's online) and I'm gonna try and start hanging out with more people and actually going places rather than stay at home.
-
1. get a fucking girlfriend
2. work harder at school
3. work harder at home
4. get better at music
-
Probably the only real resolution that I have is pay more attention to my schooling studies. Maybe I should also make one so that I have an excuse to play the ukulele
-
1. Succeed in goal-setting.
-
Um...
1. Have lots of "funtime together" with the new wife
2. Have a baby
3. Work like crazy to afford that baby.
4. Flush all freetime down the drain. :(
5. If 4 doesn't slay me, recover whatever freetime I can, before...
6. I lose that freetime.
Growing up sucks. :(
-
Oh school is another one of mine. Basically I need to figure out what I'm doing with my life. I can't just stay in community college forever! Gonna get my AA and then move on to bigger and better things but have to figure out what!
-
A) Be a good father
B) Be a good boyfriend / husband (????)
C) Don't make any kids kill themselves from bad advice
-
1. Become the greatest guitarist I possible can be, without becoming an egofreak
2. Lose weight/get in shape[real ][/real]
-
Same as every year:
1. Get a girlfriend
-
Going to start running each day to turn my body into a fat-burning machine and get in good shape!
-
to keep on rolling (http://akamike.net/2007/11/18/rolling-on-puns-inside)
- Get more into cooking
- Get back into reading habit
- Go to more concerts/web dev conferences/places in the world (aka travel)
- Get own place with gf
-
1. Lose weight/get in shape
2. Learn more programming languages
-
Lose weight
Work on social grace
Get better at guitar
Get a girlfriend
Make more friends
-
Survive.
7 days into the new year I will be working full-time and going to school full-time as well. Given my general inability to stay REALLY focused on something I am kind of worried I will do really shitty in school or get fired or something. So I have to do my best to try and just FOCUS and try and make it all work.
If I break the resolution I will have wasted a lot of money so!

New Year's Resolutions are bullshit (why not have November 22nd Resolutions, instead?) but here are mine (if I had some):
- Get a job
- Get my driver's license (I am on my way!)
- Lose some weight I guess
-
1. Take better care of my teeth. My teeth are basically shit and I need to take better care of them.
Requesting copyright clearance to use this.
Also to perhaps try and be less of an ass around college; I'm 22 and nobody realises it until I mention it :P
Find an extra/different job for more money.
-
main aims:
* Learn Saxo
* Develop cooking prowess
* Gain weight and build up body. This includes kayak during summer.
* Start giving what I really can at uni
* MORE FUCKING MUSIC (released 4 albums this year and a fifth one could possibly be released in December. So far recorded 93 album songs)

New Years Resolutions:
1. Not to have a New Years Resolution
Seriously, telling yourself "Oh I'll get a girlfriend", "I'll take better care of myself", "I'll change for the better" really doesn't work, and ends up leaving me worse than before I'd actually started.
-
Finish Take Down Legacy Episode 2
Finish The Ivy Complex
Learn Photoshop
Start abusing flight benefits from work

Wow....I couldn't agree more. I was waiting for somebody to say that.
I do like Kaempfer's list though, as it is very similar to what I'm trying to do right now(I have the job, i just need the license....and gain weight instead of lose it).

GET A GIRLFRIEND is a pretty unrealistic goal.
-
1. leave gw
-
GET A GIRLFRIEND is a pretty unrealistic goal.
Considering some of the people in question, yes. A more realistic goal would be FLESH OUT MY PERSONALITY SO THAT I AM MORE APPEALING TO THE OPPOSITE SEX AND NOT JUST AN INTERNET COLLECTIVE IN THE SAME AGE GROUP.

That has actually been a pretty successful goal from last year.

Uhh its not really saying "oh i'll do this" as much as it is just setting goals. And I already got into college and finished my Eagle Scout project so there isn't that much left! Unless like GET A JOB but that is pretty lol.
-
Esh, you ruined it for me. I was going to do all these things, but now I don't want to. =(
-
1.) Loose another 10 pounds (I did it last year, I'm doin it again)
2.) Post more (already starting)
3.) do more ear training
4.) Go to A-Kon 18
5.) purchase a Nintendo DS or PSP
-
Try to quit online gaming ( major time sink)~
-
1. Kill myself
2. Have sex with 70 virgins.
-
pretty high on my list is not getting my girlfriend pregnant
then there's graduating from college, making tons of money and not dying

It works, so I don't agree. If I didn't try to get a girlfriend I would never have girlfriend now since I wouldn't have been experienced enough. I never made it as my New Years Resollution since I mostly know what I should do.

Finish EvilClaw 1. The one game to throw the entire game making community UPSIDE DOWN!
I wish.
-
1) write a rap about the importance of eating vegetables
-
Get a decent job I could live off.
-
1600x1200
-
One major one is finishing my RPG Maker project. Another one would be: become more spiritually active.
-
I don't really like certain aspects of my personality. I'm too loud and I talk too much, I believe. So I'd like to tone down on my word usage.
I also want to actually finish a project that I start. Or maybe even start a project so I can actually finish one. Because everything in my head is just random floating concepts and putting it all down and making something out of it would be a huge accomplishment for me. :)
-
1. Finally finish converting to Muslim.
2. Get my White-Gala stuff going steady
3. Finish a RPG Game Project (it's been 4 years I should've done this already)
4. Move into a good apartment at a GOOD price and get a dog.
