So, from the blogs that I read – apparently there is a rule that you have to either write a post about your goals/resolutions, or a rant against making resolutions and how they cramp the living of life in the moment. The lazy in me wants to do the latter; but since that may violate one of my resolutions, I’ll go with the former.
So here they are, in no particular order:
1. Get More Resolution – I have been pretty lazy by my own estimation. I really haven’t followed through on ideas or some basic tasks, like cleaning out the basement. So, I am going to work on my follow-thru (especially in my jump shot) and finally get that junk stacked in the garage instead.
2. Bring Sexy Back – Basically, I need to drop a few pounds, tone-up and get some stamina back. I’ll be joining Pete, but I haven’t told him yet. And also increase my hand/eye/foot coordination. I’m gonna bring hackey-sack back as well.
3. Become a Blogstar – This isn’t as egotistical as it sounds. It actually has more to do with number 1 than anything. And by number 1, I mean me. Not really. It has to do with follow-through and a few more items on this list. And it is the first step on my path to world domination.
4. Master the German Language – I’m heading back to Germany in April and I’d like to be able to communicate better. Mastery may be a bit lofty, but I at least want to know enough to not accidently order that beer/cola drink I got last time.
5. Learn a New Skill – I’m thinking CSS. Or maybe lock-picking.
6. Be a Better Dad – With another kid coming, I need to step it up.
7. Be a Better Husband – Same as above.
8. Decide Whether Head Shaving Is Worth It – Some of my fave bloggers are bald. Los, Seth and Timmy (don’t tell him I called him Timmy. I don’t know him and may have just insulted him) all sport the smooth dome. I believe that I would get hundreds if not thousands of readers (to start my world domination thing) if I went back to shaving my head. On the flip side, I think I could maybe use my time better doing something else. Like reading my bible or doing crunches.
9. Incorporate “Pejorative” into My Vocabulary – ‘Nuff said.
10. Live More Like This
Updated
11. Develop font-worthy handwriting – time to revamp my scribble into something legible/awesome.
So there you go. It just a working list – items may be added as my megolamania grows, or I can’t find my hackey-sack.
