New Decade's resolutions

[SuperMillionaire]

We've all had New Year's resolutions, but now that we're about to enter not just a new year, but a new decade, how about New Decade's resolutions? What goals do you want to pursue in the next 10 years?

For me, I want to get healthy, be prosperous, and be an educator and an entertainment producer. I'd also like to write stories too. What are your plans for the next 10 years?

[Shoeberto]

[Bunny]

Don't die.

[Old Manus]

Stop posting at EoFF.

[rubah]

Get a job

[Rye]

Next 10 years? That's a tall order!

That's mostly going to be vague. The concrete? In 10 years I'm going to be 29. By then I'd like to be married, settled in a career (preferably in the college education track), preferably finished or finishing a higher degree needed for said career track, have a condo or house, and have uno bb. As for the more vague, I'd like to not be so scared all the time, I'd like for by then to have a really solid relationship with my brother and an improved relationship with my family, to be healthy, and to not be so hard on myself.

[Peegee]

Within the next 10 years I will decide which country I will live in for the rest of the 10 years. After that I'll decide if I want to remain homeless forever

[black orb]

>>> Win the lottery..:luca:

[NeoCracker]

Imma hit on the girls at work even more. ^_^

And finish my book...

Some of those are goals I want to achieve too. Good luck to you!

[NorthernChaosGod]

BE Alive.

This. :colbert:

[SuperMillionaire]

I'd want a career, not just a job.

[rubah]

Settin' my sights low 8)))

[~*~Celes~*~]

get a job, move out, get married, start my family, improve relations with my family, be healthier.

[Yar]

Try harder in school.

Oh and stop sweating the small shiz. And I'mma try to open up more. :D

[Momiji]

I want to stop shutting people out. I need to at least try to open up to people in general instead of being terrified of them.

[Rantz]

Obtain proper facial hair growing skills and get a goatee.

Apart from the area of work (and the age), this exactly. But I'm not really thinking that far ahead just yet.

[Loony BoB]

Marry Danielle, move to New Zealand, have a kid or two.

[Dreddz]

Become an adonis.

I know how you feel; I'm the same way.

[Jiro]

Dibs on godfather :cool:

[Kamiko]

I'm not drinking anything but water.

[Croyles]

Decide if I will start deciding things...

[Breine]

I plan to live my life.

I want to live healthily, but everything else I just can't bother to think about now.


EDIT: Oh oh oh, I want to do more traveling!

[SuperMillionaire]

Where do you plan to go, Breine?

[Breine]

Where do you plan to go, Breine?

I actually want to go back to some of the places I already went to, like e.g. India, Japan, Nepal, China, the US and such. I really want to go to the countries in Asia I didn't go to the last time around.. basically I want to see the entire world. I want to see it all!!!

Backpacking and independent traveling is ace.

[SuperMillionaire]

Wow. Traveling the world 360, eh? Great! Don't forget to send us some postcards!

[Faris]

Survive that silly 12/12/12 thing.

[SuperMillionaire]

Oh my! You mean December 12, 2012?

[Faris]

Yes! That's the one. :thumb:

[SuperMillionaire]

Yikes!

[NorthernChaosGod]

Become an adonis.

I approve, but this is an ongoing goal since this past summer.

[SuperMillionaire]

What's an adonis, anyway?

[NorthernChaosGod]

Basically, all that is man.

[SuperMillionaire]

Can you please describe it further?

[Shiny]

I don't know what I'll be doing in ten years or even five, but I do know what I'll most likely be doing in the next few weeks or next year. Long-term goals for this year and next year:


Learn Avid
Learn more of Pro Tools
Get an internship next year
Work during the summer
Possibly study abroad in Italy (Milan and Rome)
Floss my teeth more
Set a strict sleeping schedule after winter break
Succeed at producing a decent music video
Enter some of my work in the local film festival like I did last year
Go see Utada in concert (very excited about this) :jess:
Get tickets for The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien
Get tickets for Tyra Banks Show

[SuperMillionaire]

Great, but I have to warn you that Tyra Banks is leaving her show this spring, so you better get tickets NOW.

[Shiny]

I know, Yar told me. This ruins the plans we had for May tix. :(

[NorthernChaosGod]

Can you please describe it further?

Good looking and in great shape.

[Breine]

Wow. Traveling the world 360, eh? Great! Don't forget to send us some postcards!

Well, I already did that once, but doing it again would be more than wonderful :)

[SuperMillionaire]

Or better yet, if you can, go beyond the atmosphere and into outer space, while orbiting Earth all the way around.

[Fuzakeru]

I want to lose the rest of this stupid weight!! :cool: Oh when I do... look out! ....because then I can start the therapy on the years I spent as the fat kid and learn to stop loathing my reflection in the mirror.

[Cuchulainn]

Just one;

1. If I ever meet up with a girl in Dublin again, to not end up getting so feckin drunk I have no memory of the event after 10pm except getting chucked out of a taxi by the driver at 1am for making fun of him cause he's bulgarian. Then find out the next day it was goin well till I met sum Australians & started doin shots & shots of Jaegermeister. Then insult the barkeep & storm off ignoring the girl altogether & walk out of the pub & go home. Leaving her there miles from home & crying. And in one night get a girl who's wanted me for years to never want 2 speak to me again.


Yea that's mine. To never do that again, and by the grace of God I should be able to do it.

[SuperMillionaire]

Good luck with that, Cuchulainn.

[Raistlin]

Don't die.

[SuperMillionaire]

Wanna live a long life, eh? Me too.

[Necronopticous]

My resolutions for the new year will be 1680x1050 and 1050x1680 at home, 1440x900 and 1440x900 at work, and 1024x600 on the go. Same as last year.

Are you talking about computer displays?

[Raistlin]

Obviously not.

[SuperMillionaire]

Then what exactly is he talking about?

[demondude]

Then what exactly is he talking about?

You don't know? :eek:

[KentaRawr!]

Stop being such a lazy smurfing bastard. :3

Edit: Er, that's my resolution, not a message to Demon Dude.

[SuperMillionaire]

You don't know? :eek:

No, I don't. I was guessing you meant computer displays, but since it wasn't that, then I have no clue.

[demondude]

Edit: Er, that's my resolution, not a message to Demon Dude.

Whatever, I know what you meant. :pissed:

[Mirage]

Same as I always try to do or get done.

[JKTrix]

It's a good thing you all have a whole year to think about it, because it's not a new decade yet.

[Raistlin]

I already had this discussion with Shlup already, (very one-sided because I was right and she was so obviously wrong) but a "decade" is just a collection of ten consecutive years. It could be considered associated with every ten years since the beginning of CE/AD, in which case 2010 would not be a new decade (and 2011 would be). However, the term is commonly associated with a group of ten consecutive years so that in XXAX the number for "A" stays the same (e.g., "the '80s," "the '90s," etc.). Neither is wrong, and in the latter sense 2010 would be the start of a new decade. It is arbitrary, but then so is our entire number and calendar system to begin with.

[Evastio]

My major one so far (that I've worked on even before new years) is being less negative.

[Badge]

Get a career in Music Technology.
Have my own house and get married (maybe have children depending on career)
Be happy :)

[SuperMillionaire]

Good for you, Badgemaker.

[Aerith's Knight]

New Year's resolution: Move to the States and do a Master in Nanotechnology there.

New Decade resolution: Get married, have my first child before I'm 30 and get a good-paying job.

[SuperMillionaire]

Good for you. Nanotechnology is very fascinating.

[Shlup]

I resolve to be a doper person.

I can increase my Dope Factor (patent pending) in the following ways:
Practice my skills
Choose a hobby to become adept at
Stop being so fucking fat


Don't worry, I'm on top of this :bou::bou::bou::bou:.

[Duce of Daggers]

new decade resolution: graduate high school and go to college

I certainly hope not. I think ShlupQuack should have used a different word...

[arcanedude34]

Convince more people that a new decade wont start until 2011. :)

[Raistlin]

Start killing the next person(s) who attempts that overdone, pedantic, and incredibly wrong argument to save time on repeating myself (which I even did just 10 posts ago!).

lolwhut?

What argument might you speak of, good sir?

When the new decade starts.

[Aerith's Knight]

Ah, as such. I didn't know there even was a doubt. The new millenium started at 2000, not at 2001, ammirite?

[Raistlin]

It depends on your definition. One looks back from the start of the calendar and one looks forward at the future years which share the same set of numbers. Both are correct, though.

Ghehe, that made me laugh. xD

Actually, most likely I'll go the direction of Optical Electron Lithography. Or maybe Metrology. There is a lot of business in that.

A worthy cause.

[SuperMillionaire]

Nanotechnology is indeed a very interesting concept.
