Title: New Year Resolutions For 2013
Post by: mongers on January 01, 2013, 07:44:44 PM
Meri, usually does one of these this time of year, so I though we should have one. 

Can think of anything I want to get resolute about, saving perhaps one thing.
Otherwise by a process of elimination, natural wastage and boredom, I seemed to have gotten rid of most of my bad habits.  :grin:

On the plus side, positive things I want to do this year :hmm:
More of the same ? :unsure:

Positives : world domination.

Things to get rid of: the nagging muscle tear/sprain/ouchie that is attempting to hang around.

Cool, but seriously world domination is so last year, have you not looked around yourself and seen the typical quality of most humans, not really worth the effort is it ?  <_<

I'd like to visit Japan also.

Now that's a plan I can get behind.   :ccr

Positive changes: Achieve financial security, finish my novel

Things to get rid of:  25 pounds, a shit-ton of clutter in the house

My goal is to get rid of 25% of my possessions this year... including my books.  :pinch:

This, I've already started, today I've been scrapping some electronic for spare parts., which would have otherwise gone in the rubbish.
I figure it saves some poor third world kid breathing in the solder fumes. 
:)

Not sure on the books, keep them.

 Goals for this year include securing employment abroad, understanding the feelings of people around me better, and eating a bit healthier.

I especially want to have more patience.

I'm going to try and stop reading the readers' comments that appear below most online articles, they bring out my inner eugenicist and surely people in general can not be that awful.... :hmm:

Get a better paying job rather than just moaning about this one.

I cam back to work and the hot drinks machine was broken and there were no cups for water. They wear down our resolve to leave through dehydration.

When I resolve which caliber to blow my brains out with, the .45 or the .357, I'll try to post it in a poll first.

The thing with New Year resolutions is you need to get started right away on day 1 or you'll never get it done.
