Lose the gut.

No big purchases this year

My new year resolution is almost word for word identical to Kaaine's...

Get organized once again...gotten off track the last couple months.
Continue the healthier lifestyle and even improve the healthier part.
Save a little money for a change.

1. Move closer to work to cut down on my fuel expense.

2. Find a new girlfriend that doesn't have too much baggage (ie: in debt up to her eyeballs, drama queen, unresolved issues with her ex, etc.)

3. Increase my monetary contribution to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

4. Buy a parcel of land on which I can build a house on in the future.

I don't make resolutions because I make a lot of changes in my life monthly, resolutions are redundant.

It's like the Pirates Code. It's more like guidelines.

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Sun Dec 31, 2006 8:11 pm

If I was to make guidelines for myself they would be close to these:

Make new friends. I've lost too many to count for varying reasons and life is pretty lonely lately. It was easier to arrange hanging out with Darcler and Gidan than it was for people who live ten fucking minutes from me on foot. I'm sitting home alone on New Year's Eve and contemplating going to a bar alone, if that's any indicator of how many friends I've lost to drugs, boyfriends, girlfriends, drugs, and more drugs.

I need to see a gastrologist again and bite the bullet. I am afraid of surgery.

Few other minor things, I'm not doing too bad this year besides the loneliness.

In 2006, I quit smoking / quit drinking (not really intentional, just havent had a drink in 8 months or so), bought a house, and stayed positive as much as possible, even when it looked so bleak.

In 2007 I want to quit drinking soda's, lose 15 pounds, get back in school, develop my public speaking skills, and play more music.

How did you develop your public speaking skills? I took the 12-week Dale Carnegie Course, and went to some Toastmaster's meetings.

Well, I havent yet, its what I want to do. I jump at every chance to do it now, be it at a meeting or whatever, just to get used to it. I've met and talked to some really great speakers and they've all said practice, practice, practice

Carson DAly is a douche, he cried over Tara Reid, TARA RAID FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

No more Pop, no more cigs, and to finally be settled and happy by the end of the year. Sooner, if possible.

In 2006 there were a lot of changes in my life. I'm not even going to try and list them.

For 2007 I'm going to cut down even further on drinking, clubbing, and partying. Today is day one without cigs (I feel like taking someone's head off). I'm going to be more diligent when it comes to working out. I've decided to be MUCH more proactive when it comes to finding and creating opportunities for myself in many aspects of my life.

Most importantly, I have decided to dedicate a lot more of my time to studying God's word - to Him.

Best of luck to you with that! It's been about 5 weeks now since I quit. Anytime I experience something that would normally trigger my desire for a cigarette I remind myself that I don't need it to get through the next 5-7 minutes and the reasons why I've chosen not to smoke.

kaharthemad · Post by **kaharthemad** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 7:12 am

cut back or quit all together the smokes.

even my temper out

increase exercise

spend more time with kids

learn 12 new recipes.(i cook to relieve stress, which unfortunately usually goes against the Martrae comment of eating healthier)

increase the productivity at work(doing better then most people there but there is room for improvement)

Systematic take over of the world.

3. earn a raise

4. complete my weight loss goals

5. clean my room once a week

6. save money
