New years resolutions
Alright. Resolution time. I saw brother Randy’s goals again, so, as usual I looked at him and stole his ideas. Thievery is the best form of flattery, right? I suppose I should try to get these down so I can start working on them. However, I think I should look at last years to see where I failed first.
<Last years goals>
1. Weigh less than 185 sometime this year… (done… but now I’m 189.5… yipes)
2. Learn to juggle 5 balls at the same time for 20+ seconds (FAILED, though I agree with Randy, dumb goal)
3. 120… (FAILED)
4. Knock up the ‘ole lady. (done)
5. Kick the Inservice’s ass. (done)
6. Make the best video that I have ever made in my life (done? see the second video… NINJA RESIDENT!)
7. Buy a house for the first time ever. (done)
8. Submit at least 1 short story for publication. (done)
9. Make a Christmas letter for the year 2008 (done… see my last entry)
10. Find a Church home that I love in Grand Rapids (FAILED, still looking)Ok. So now I have to make a new set I guess.
1. Weigh less than 185 this year (sigh, I think I’m in the worst shape of my life… better make some lofty goals)
2. Find a Church home
3. Run 500 miles this year (lofty goal #1 for me, since I’m not a big runner (sorry Randy))
4. Get a new car
5. Write a novel from scratch
6. Write a novel from scratch (this one counts as 2, since that’s a ton of work)
7. Become the best daddy ever
8. Read 20 books cover to cover (I have been told that to become an excellent author, you have to read, read, read, read, read. I like to read, so I don’t think 15 should be too ambitious.
9. Once a month do a thorough overview of some ER topic (gotta stay sharp)
10. At least 3 Bool hunts for Gwen, and 1 couples vacation this year.Whew… wow. That’s-a spicy meat-a ball-a. I’m not sure where to start, but I guess I better get in a running schedule, since that’s way more than I’m used to doing.

Good luck!!
I forgot…Congrats on winning that prize for your writing!!
So, I have yet to really find a church I absolutely love in Grand Rapids, too. But I’m going to give Ada Bible a chance again, I’m actually planning on getting more involved there… get working in the youth program, and into a small group. Have you been there?
Be careful with the running, you remember how the swimming turned out!
Start small, and Good Luck
@Bricker59 - Thanks! I like prizes. I like them so much I hope to win something this year… but I won’t find out for 2 months…
@Belegost_the_Naugrim - I’ve heard of that one, in fact it was recommended to me. I think I’ll give it a try sometime soon. I’ll give you an update when we do.
@Irish_Russian - I know! I pretty much have bailed completely on the whole swimming thing. It is just too much of a PITA for me to do. Running might not be much better, but at least I have a treadmill that is not 40 minutes away.
Hi Slicy! You really did kick ass last year
Something tells me you will be one of the best daddys evar.
