    New Year's Resolution?

    So it’s almost that time again… we’re about to celebrate the coming of 2007 and say goodbye to 2006. Everyone has got a thing or two that they would like to improve or accomplish in the year ahead.

    Are you one of those people who'd like to quit smoking? Study more? Make an effort to get back in shape or just thinks -- “I’m perfect I don’t need to do anything!” A lot of people say they don't bother but definitely have goals they'd like to address, be it in the next year or the next month. It strikes me that New Year's can be a good excuse to step back and examine yourself, see where you've come in the past year, and where you hope to go in the next.

    So my fellow Gotwooters let’s hear your New Year’s resolution(s) that we all know you’ll break anyway

    I'll go first:

    Smile more
    Be more decisive
    Go out with my friends more often
    Stop playing too much Guild Wars
    And last but not least, post more in the Gotwoot forum
    Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows.

    I intended to learn kanas this past year but totally failed, so maybe I should intend again to learn them this starting year. At least I bought a book written just for that purpose right before the Christmas, to signify the decision.

    To get back in shape wouldn't hurt, either. Just watching more martial arts anime failed as a plan to accomplish that, this year, after all...

    Get in better shape
    Lock down a real job after graduating
    Idle less (less video games and anime)
    Sleep with AngelEyez

    The first two I see happening, the last two... well, how bout it girl?

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    - Spend more time with family
    - Show appreciation to the people who I care for and who care for me. (by actions and not just thoughts)
    - Spend less time creating crazy IRC mods and testing them out on innocent Gotwoot users.
    - Idle less, talk more (possibly post more on the forums)
    - Attempt to play guild wars more often if time permitted
    - Stop being an ass hat to random people for fun (#gotwoot would understand this statement)
    - Hang out with friends more

    I don't like News Years resolutions....mainly because it gives people an excuse to set goals for themselves only once a year. For example, how many people would make it a resolution to lose weight and get in shape for next year? How many of those people made that same resolution the year before? If you have to reaffirm a goal a second time then that means you failed the first time, so what makes this any different?

    Nobody's going to accomplish anything unless they really want to set their mind to it, and only using one day to set your mind to only one year ahead of you isn't enough. I think a great resolution everyone should have is to resolve to live every day in anticipation of the future.

    However in spirit of tradition, I'm setting the very realistic yet very beneficial goal of killing my myspace account tomorrow.
