I have three resolutions for the New Year:

1. Try not to growl at the customers; oops try to smile at the customers

2. Not to drink any carbonated beverages

3. Bait more lads

What are your resolutions?

I vow not to buy as many pairs of Doc Marten boots as I did this year ( unless they're really cool or tartan )
To swim in the sea at least once ( difficult as the sea temp is pretty low around here )
To jump in more puddles
To watch more sunrises/sunsets
To find and enjoy the absurdness of life
To do at least one thing I've never done before ( this may or may not include sticking to a healthy diet )

1. Do whatever it takes to get to Japan as soon as possible.
2. Improve foreign language abilities
3. Be less shy around people (meaning not letting people take advantage of my kindness, and/or use me as an errand boy)
4. Find a full-time job (whether I'm in Japan or not)

Try not to be such a pain in the a$$ as I am usually.

I've almost quit smoking. Down to about 2 packs of Marlboro Ultra Lights a week.

I've also resolved to be more positive and less of a cynical bastard. Laughing

(1) Go on a diet. Sad

(2) Try to keep my naughty temper in check. Embarassed

(3) Bait more lads and get their bank accounts. Twisted Evil

Also I really like slaphappys idea too. That sounds so fun and peaceful.

Yup, that's right, Dramaqueen. And no lad safaris this Summer, either! Laughing

I resolve to use my superpowers only for good.

Posted: Sun Dec 28, 2008 8:18 pm

I made a resolution years ago that I've kept -- make no new resolutions Wink

I hope this year

I'll be able to ride the motorcycle more (my significant other had knee surgery and is recovering atm, so we can't ride)

Take the kids fishing this year - bought them fishing poles last year but it never seemed to be a good time to take them...

Bait a few lads into doing something really silly -- like a safari or something more serious than taking photo trophies (although those are fun Twisted Evil

)...

1) I resolve to have a hangover bad enough to knock down an adult bull elephant in a comatose state on new years day.

2) Quit smoking - already down to one pack a week.

3) World domination by the end of 2009.

4) Graduate and get a job... then go back to school for more fun.

5) Hook up with Paris Hilton just to say I did it.

6) Get back in making/mixing my own music as that kind of went on the back burner for other projects.

Newver make New Year's resolutions. Your are just setting yourself up for failure. Strive to be the best you can each and every day, not just at the beginning of the new year. Since August, when I was diagnosed as being slightly over the line for being diabetic, I have lost 20 pounds and am still going Very Happy

. Nothing motivates like fear. I'm on no medication and my lab tests are all in the normal range. I'm not cured, just controlled. Every day is a new day. Gee.....maybe I should be a motivational speaker. Laughing

1) Be more, Patient....kind...and not think horrid thoughts about stupid people as much. Twisted Evil

2) Get into my Classes so I can make some awesome money. Laughing

3) Learn how to make my self happy, even if it means pissing someone else off. Shocked

4) Remember to appreciate the good things in life. Cool

5) To have my own place by the end of the year:roll:
And finally, To be confident in knowing that everyone makes mistakes, the world is not fair, and no matter what you do someone is going to bitch.

@angusmactavish: You might look up cinnamon capsules online & see how well it regulates blood sugar levels.

To the forum.

After so many years of setting myself up for failure, I've finally set some realistic goals and actual time lines for myself.

1. Quit smoking (completely). No later than: Dec. 31st, 2009.

2. Take the sign down in my office that says, "I can EXPLAIN it to you but I can't UNDERSTAND it for you". No later than: the year 2020 and/or the first person to walk in & comprehend it, whichever comes first.

3. Learning to be a better multi-tasker when stopping, studying, and smelling, a savory sack of herbs in a small shop, seeing someone stealing some, & not saying anything to somebody in order to stop them. Shame on me. Sheesh, I don't know... No later than: someone who sum's up a sentence with more S's in it. (Sad)

4. Make either a quick or RL (real long) trip to Jamaica depending on when FedEx delivers my money for some R&R, and R&T (Rum & Ting). No later than: Yah Mon, soon come!

5. And to that end, last but not least, I hope to accelerate my courses at EU and graduate within a year (due to no student loans), so I can finally get up the courage to start my first bait. No later than: when time permits, but before my $800,000. runs out.
Very Happy

I'm quitting smoking too.

And no more gambling. Ironically , my yearly sales meeting is in Vegas this year. banghead

And I will start exercising. Baiting is exercise , right ?

Happy New Year and good luck with your resolutions everybody.

Lose some weight

Stop being dislexic (real pain in teh butt)

Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 7:07 pm

Just the same as the last 10 years, works like a charm, you never feel disappointed about yourself and you have to accept the world as it is and yourself with all the quirks, dents and failures.

No resolutions for me again this year, if I would need them, I wouldn't agree with what I'm doing anyway, so I went wrong earlier for no reason at all. Life is too short to put up any limitations, live it and enjoy the way you see fit, smoking or not (we all die in the end, can you imagine a healthy death?)
a pound or two too heavy (who sets the limits? commercials or your doctor? and isn't he a bit too heavy anyway?) Just speak the truth and don't do to others what.... Wink

Happy New Year

My New Years Resolution is to once and for all stop sticking up Liquor Stores. From now on, I'm only robbing Convenience Stores.

My one and only resolution is to bait more next year than I did this year. I don't feel I caused the lads nearly enough trouble as I should have.

Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:24 pm

Only two resolutions:

Will say "yes" to my mentor's proposal:
