Please take the poll at the bottom of the page. Thank you!
I have been thinking a bit about this years resolutions. Yes it is the 2nd already, and maybe you are supposed to have this done already if you are gonna do it, but I do things the right way, and if it takes a little longer then so be it. I’m really not sure what resolution or resolutions i am going to make though.
I made several of them last year, and most of the ones that I did make last year backfired. I resolved to save money and be more fiscally disciplined. And while I was more disciplined, spent less money and was more intelligent in how I spent my money, i wasn’t able to save any money. I also promised to run smarter longer and better than I had the year before and to stay a healthy runner all year long. NOPE. I was hurt or ill most of the year and ran maybe 20% of the total distance i had the year before. I also said i would eat more healthily and intelligently. Not really. If I had I would not have gained the 20 pounds I gained last year when sitting on my arse not running. And I never figured out that bug in guitar tracks pro that made recording immensely difficult, so the guitar recording thing never panned out.
Needless to say if I do this I am going to do it right. For YEARS i didn’t make any resolutions (except the annual “I resolve that i won’t make any resolutions” resolution) and it was because I was afraid this would happen. That I would fail miserably. I don’t like failing and try my damnedest not to.
With that in mind I want to set some realistic goals for myself, but ones that will push me past my comfort zones in my life.
There are a number of different ones I want to make, and I am thinking of doing the following.
Resolving to Run more this year. That should hardly be difficult. I was hurt or ill or just plain lazy for 7 or 8 months last year. The weight will come off if I just get back to it without getting hurt or getting ill.
Resolving to eat less crap.
Resolving to get a second job and make enough money to get a better apartment for me and my wife, large enough for Us, all our crap, our cats, and a Baby, should we be lucky enough to have one.
Resolving to play my guitar as much as possible,. and to record, if i can ever figure out how to get that damned Guitar Tracks pro 3 working without all the echo. Maybe that’s just a phone call to Leo Laporte away from being done.
Resolving to write more than just a blog this year. Get somebody somewhere to publish something of mine. No matter how small.
I need some help on this, so you tell me, which one sounds best? Most Feasible? Least Likely? Check out the poll, and drop me a comment!
That’s It For me! Later!
