I haven’t posted in a while but thats because I have been happy. Changing jobs was likely the best decision that I have ever made. I go into work every day excited, I do a lot of work, and I come home relaxed and able to have fun instead of crash. The new schedule, specified in the previous post, has proven more difficult than I had anticipated. I got sick the second day, and thereafter I have had a new job and have been trying to learn a new schedule with that. Tomorrow I am going to try to get back on schedule starting tomorrow.

That isn’t what I was posting about. But, since this post isn’t about my life, I figured I could do a quick “fill in the blanks” concerning life first. The purpose of this post was to explain my decision to make new years resolutions. I have never officially made new years resolutions, and this is only October. So why? I don’t know, I just want to do some things and I might as well make the goals official. Even though they are resolutions for next year, I am not going to wait until January 1st to start them. Why not allow for a couple of months head start? So these are things I want to start immediately, but hope to accomplish in the new year.

1. Lose weight – specifically I want to be under 200lbs.
2. Write more
   • Finish a novel, or at least have two first drafts completed.
   • Post to my websites consistently. Minimum 3 times a week.
   • Focus on writing 1 hour a day.
3. Eat healthier.
4. Pray to God every day.
5. Save money – $500-$1000 a month.
6. Forgo pornography. This one still haunts me, but it is something that I am ready, willing, and excited to have out of my life for good.
7. Learn to write neatly. My handwriting sucks and I know I can change it.
8. Learn to play an instrument. Guitar ocarina, piano, didgeridoo, or the drums, it doesn’t matter what.
9. Learn more graphic design. I want to know what makes something look good, more than the basic stuff I already know.

I am sure there are more, but this is all that was on the top of my head for now. Maybe I can achieve three or four of them but I really want to get all of them covered. Like I said, I am going to start now, and maybe the extra couple of months will help me attain my goals. Any way you slice it, I still have a long road ahead of me.
