Anyone want to kick out some goals, plans, resolutions (hate to call them that) for next year??
All I've got so far:
Focus on removing negativity and increasing positivity in life - home, work, play, etc.
Let 2009 be the year of finances...try to start focusing on revenue streams, NOT just revenue.
Revisit activities, interests, etc. that used to consume my time and just re-introduce them to my routine...
Still working on more, but this should be a good start...
stop smoking, do some exercise.
I also want to go to a class of something (music, drawing, cooking, whatever) just to spend more time in a social environment.
Get rid of my mini beer gut. Stop drinking so much. Sleep more. Code less. Learn how to play guitar.
Although none of this will never happen :d
same things i have every year
Get rich
become a professional fighter
Alienate as many people as possible.
Speaking of fighting, did you watch the fight for the troops last night?
sure did, that Knockout at the end of the night was brutal.
Apparently Corey hill who fought on the undercard broke his leg on a kick in an ugly ugly way. i'm hoping to find video of it.
Nice, let me know if you find that.
Josh K's knockout was awesome but the beating that the dude took from (can't think of his name's) knees! Man that was brutal and almost disturbing to watch haha. Had like a 6 inch swell after the fight on his head. I would hate to be that guy today.

Enjoy life.
How about the guy who got his arm bent backwards?? WOW!! I winced and held my elbow for at least two minutes after watching that...whew...like some of those episodes of Scarred that are just too disturbing to watch...
Should have tapped, there was no way he was getting out of it even after the roll move he made. No reason to risk his career.
I never liked setting goals, always made me feel like I was some kind of salesman, needing to meet targets, etc.
To boot, if you fail to meet your self-determined goals, how much of a loser are you? Seriously, you know yourself better than anyone else and you still can't set yourself realistic targets?
How sad is that?
Sure, someone's going to say that if you don't extend yourself you won't succeed, but that's absolute bollocks. Of course, if you feel the need, push that envelope, but that doesn't make it right to piss on someones parade just for living within their own expectations.
Certainly to some extent you have to set goals for yourself, even if subconsciously?
Sure, but if you're happy where you are, are you automatically going to set goals, consciously, subconsciously, or any other way.
I'm not talking about people here directly, but I do know that some people set goals to get themselves off their lazy arses, but if you don't need that motivation, or find it someway else, you shouldn't necessarily be defined within the negatively-conotated 'goaless' section.
I don't do the goals thing, never have, never will (perhaps you already got that), but then again, I'm pretty happy where I am. That might change tomorrow, due to circumstances out of my control, but there's nothing inherently wrong with being happy with where you are - nor is that an opportunity for people to be unnecessarily jealous, specially considering that some folks are never happy where they are.
No I completely understand, I tend to be the same way. I find myself setting little arbitrary goals sometimes if only to quell the very rare moments of boredom.
Like "I will pick the lock of the door to the roof of my dorm by the end of second semester".
Survive.... Physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially.
I have a feeling it is going to be a bumpy ride for the next 12.
My resolution last year was "not to take any more resolutions if i break it".
So this time "NO RESOLUTION"
I don't wait for new years to change things I should/shouldn't do but I do hope for some decent contracts.
Amen. I'm down to one contract out of 17. And a full-time where I'm... well, I don't feel like I'm part of the team because three projects already and I've been the lead, the main and the only.Quote:

2009, I'm seeing the same gaps in technology that I saw in 2001. Time to really capitalize.
So.... bad time to be a tech theater major?
