Happy *sneeze* New Year

Posted by Mike - December 31, 2007 at 10:12:50 pm

So to bring in the new year I’ve got a headache and I feel kind of dizzy actually. Wonderful huh? So I turned down a few things and opted to stay home tonight. I’ll just cuddle up with some tea and watch a movie or play some games or something. I took a couple of excedrin earlier for the headache, which helped for a little while but it seems to have come back. :(

In any case, here are some quick resolutions for this year:

  1. consume less - I think I would be better off eating smaller portions and buying fewer games and random things.
  2. camp more - Jules got me an awesome stove and my Dad got me a water filter. I’ve been wanting to get both items since I went on my Mount Whitney hike a while back. Now I have everything I need to go backpacking without relying on other people’s gear.
  3. create more - This year I’d like to create more. Instead of a drawing class maybe I’ll just get a sketchbook and bring my pencils around with me. I’d also like to dust off the camera and try that out again. Maybe some hand written letters are in order. Also, the journal is getting dusty.
  4. pay yourself first - That’s something my Dad would tell me when I started working. I’ve never really been good at saving any money but over the past couple months I got a pretty good game plan together which I should be able to stick to.
  5. cook more - My mom got me a Cuisinart food processor and I’ve already made the most uniform zucchini and bell pepper slices ever. As a side note I really need to get this blade and disc holder before I cut myself grabbing for something in the cupboard.
  6. ride better - I’d like to be a better motorcycle rider. That doesn’t mean faster or crazier. I just want to be able to handle the bike well enough for it to be automatic and more enjoyable for me and eventually my lovely passenger Jules.

That’s it for now. I’ll get Jules to post some too. :)

Happy New Year everyone!
