Title: New Years Resolutions!
Post by: Doktormartini on November 22, 2007, 04:12:33 am
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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Post by: WunderBread on November 30, 2007, 07:58:34 pm
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. :)
