2015 Goals and Resolutions

[Freya]

• Go on more travelling adventures; so hiking, camping and the like.
• Be able to squat my body weight. So far my progress is good so I should be able to do this by the end of this year for sure.
• Read a book a month.
• Art once a month.
• Bake a different type of bread every month.

Well this past year I wad finally able to get myself drinking water. For way too many years I have only drank sodas and I have cut back, I am proud of myself for that at least.

Now for the next year I will try to get into working out and get rid of this gut so I can get a tattoo that won't look like it's on a billboard.

[Pike]

2015 will be the year or acceptance.

The acceptance that there is nothing particularly special about myself, that I possess no hidden talents or impressive qualities. This will hopefully take the pressure off myself, reducing anxiety and self hatred by admitting to myself that I am just an average person.

Most of us never amount to very much anyway, so to take away the disappointment of never amounting to any dream, is to stop dreaming completely.

Here is to 2015.

A while ago I accepted that my life is going to consist of being poor and playing video games and you know what? I am A-OK with that. I'd rather be poor and have time for video games than have a lot of money but be busy with some sort of crazy 60 hour a week job or whatever.

(I mean preferably I'd be rich and retired but you know)

I think a lot of people, this generation, have it crammed down their throats that they are unique and have some sort of special purpose that they need to unleash on the world. This has not been particularly helpful to me personally. I am not very bright or smart, limited on the whole creativity spectrum, I'm pretty regular.

I believe that a new year passing doesn't make someone a new person. You are the same person on the 1st of January as you were on the 31st. If you meant to make a change in your life, you'd have done it already.

Adnittingly some people do need that list to check through, and I suppose a new year is as good as any milestone for assessing the self and any current developments.

But don't listen to me. I'm a severe pessimist with ADD problems!

[Pheesh]

- Get my YouTube channel up and running, and hopefully make it at least semi-successful.

- Continue to improve at drums, guitar and song writing (maybe get a band going as well, it's not a priority but it wouldn't be unwelcome)

- Cook at least half the recipes in my new cook book and continue to try a bunch of new dishes that I never have before.

- Get out of debt

- Get Tara's visa sorted out asap

- Get a puppy to reward the both of us for completing the previous two goals.

[Shiny]

-Build more strength endurance
-excercise even more
-secure funds for post production for a movie I am working on
-work on the next movie and the next and the next lol
-eoff podcasts
-possibly doing a lets play
-continue building 401k and stock

[Yellow_Magic]

I've got a few:

- Take my French to the next level

- Lose the skinny-fat somehow

- My current job pays a shedload, but I feel it's a dead-end career wise, so I think I'm going to have to start looking for better opportunities in the middle of the year (once I hit my immediate savings target). Always fun

- This might seem a bit EEEEEHH, but at 22 my lack of experience with the opposite sex is really starting to show, so it's probably time I got into a relationship. Easier said than done, though...

- Visit the USA at some point

- Play more video games (this one's my favourite)

[Night Fury]

-Lose weight. Cheesy resolution ever, I know, but I really need to commit. I'm already doing some daily jogging (that makes me feel like I'm dying), and I need to clean up my diet
-Continue writing my book. Aim to write 3x/week
-See a specialist about my work related anxiety, and see what budget medication is available to me
-If that one works out, get a job and keep it without wanting to die
-Convince my mom to have Michael visit so we can work towards moving him down slowly
-Figure out a plan for my life

sorry if this sounds blunt, but Michael is your son - just tell your mom you want him to visit, you shouldn't have to convince her or talk her around to it. Just be like 'yo mom Michaels coming to see me so there' or something. I've noticed that you have quite a lot of battles with her with regards to Michael, that's all.

[Pumpkin]

You're right, I shouldn't have to. But due to some circumstances, I do indeed have to get her to agree to it, which has been next to impossible

[Night Fury]

Ahh well obviously there is some background I am missing so ignore me

[black orb]

>>> I dont care anymore, all the new years goals and resolutions I have made never work out..

[MissH]

My New Years resolution will be the same one I'v made for the last few years- to be kinder to myself. I want my baby to see that his/her Mum is confident and looks after herself so that they will hopefully become confident too.

Also, to help my Dad kick Leukaemia's butt.

[Shlup]

-Start a couple of studies I want to work on
-Lose 27 more pounds to get to my pre-baby weight (down 11 so far)
-Maybe have a table at a convention

That's it!

[Masamunemaster]

The hardest part about working out for me, and probably most of us honestly, it's the motivation. That's why I had planned to have a buddy workout with me before he moved.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

• Get back to the gym. I exercise now, but I want to lift weights again.
• Hike part of the Appallachian Trail. At least 30 miles of it. Preferably more. Maybe take a week.
• Reach 60ft during a freedive.
• Read all of the LoTR and Earthsea novels.
• Learn more guitar.
• Continue to look sexy as smurf naked.
• Go to more concerts
