Re: New Years Resolutions

One thing I'll say, if you like music and want to work out, an Ipod is the best thing that ever came along. I depend on it so much that if I forget it or the battery dies, I leave and just head to work. I can hardly work out without it. Makes time go by quickly when I'm doing that damn cardio crap too.

Re: New Years Resolutions

Since I've been on a big self improvement kick since Texas fell thru the shitter, I have many goals for this year.

The biggest one at the moment is getting EVERYTHING in my life in order. By the end of my first semester back at school, I want to have everything organized, and not only that, I want everything to be plain to see. In order to do this, I'm cleaning out my room, cleaning out my car, doing some "social cleansing" [as Chris called it], using a planner, and a getting all my money in order. I'm also trying to square shit off with my family; tying loose ends with my mother, spending more time with my father and grandfather, etc.

The next big thing is school. So far I'm going into it with a positive mindset. "I'm going to kick so much ass they aren't going to know what hit them!" I say every year, I'm going to hit the books hard and do the best I can, but this year that's not good enough. I'm going to hit the books full force and get at LEAST a B average. So that I can get the good student discount on my car insurance, keep myself off academic probation, AND get into whatever 4-year I decide to go to. Which leads me to my NEXT school related resolution. I need to get organized and get an appointment with the guidance counsiler and decide where I would like to go to school. Then plan my course of action in getting there. And I've decided this year, if I have to I'll suck it up and get a tutor.

I also would like to get in shape. I don't need to lose weight, but I would like to feel toned again. And not feel so lazy and out of shape. I've done a pretty decent job of cutting fast food out of my diet, but I could use a bit of improvement on everything I put in my body. I was going to run a marathon last year but it didn't happen. So this year, I'm also running a 5k.

Other than that, I just want no drama. Things are going pretty good right now and I intend to keep it that way. I don't want 2007 to suck as bad as 2006, and I deffinately don't want it to be a blur. I look back on 2006 and I'm like "gosh, I don't remember most of it! Must have sucked..."

/edit

Ahh I almost forgot the work scene! I want put of pizza! Not that flipping pizza's and yelling at drivers isn't my life's dream, but its time to move up in the world. As long as I'm kicking ass in everything else, I may as well find a kick ass job as well! I would like more money and less hours so school can REALLY come first but I can still survive. And more than anything, I want a NORMAL job. A job where I am assigned a time to come in and an EXACT time to leave. No more of this "til the rush is over" crap. I want it to be something I enjoy, and some thing where I won't come home smelling like food and have to wash my uniform 6 times just to get the dough smell out! Did I mention I'm applying to Bob's Cycle Supply tomorrow

Re: New Years Resolutions

My resolution is to finish few projects with the cars... and stay healthy.

Truck: injectors, boost gauge, trans temp gauge, and boost controller, sub box for the truck.

Eclipse: Wideband, clean the interior, put the stereo back in, along with a new sub box.

Self: learn how to work with fiberglass and make few sub boxes, get a welder...


Thats about it.....

Re: New Years Resolutions

I would like to see myself get rid of all of my debt, other than school loans. But I also want to get a good start on the student loans.

Re: New Years Resolutions

Pay off some CC's and continue to clear out the driveway! I'd like to get the shop moving forward again too, but work is making that difficult. Like everyone else, continue getting in better shape. I have lost 12 lbs in the last 2 months, but we need to hit the gym again. I got an Ipod nano for Xmas, so that will help!

I use my checkbook for paying 2 things: rent and utilities. It's hard to find places that even accept checks anymore.
