New Year's Resolutions and a Cute Sentence
12 Comments | Latest by: Phil | Add A Comment! »»
To the people who say, "I don't make New Year's Resolutions because I don't think you should make a change in your life on an arbitrary schedule..." (I'm looking at YOU, Jon) I say: "Pish Posh!" and "Get on the bandwagon!".
Making a resolution does not prevent one from making a change at other times of the year. As such, this list may seem like small items, but they're just the latest in my "test and tweak" approach:
- Stop buying the 2 things I spend the most money on: Books and Music. I have vowed Michelle that I will literally stop buying books, and that I will at least limit my music purchases dramatically.
- One exception, which is a motivator. I give myself full license to spend any and all profits from my own outside work - not counting my regular salary at My Job - on books that I want. It's a little carrot. These would include things like AdSense on my sites and people paying for web services I'm creating.
- Finish all the books I have not finished, or started. Another reason not to buy new books, I have books I haven't even read yet.
- Get better at Spanish.
- Refocus my exercise efforts, but not try to kill myself like I was last year, due to a recent visit with my doc and some concern over my EKG.
- 10 Minute Shits: self explanatory.

I read this from the Humanized Weblog and had to smile:
The thing about an identity is that it’s supposed to be unique, so allowing one identity to repesent [sic] multiple identities is as baffling as this sentence.
It's the "breaking the 4th wall of writing". Cute.
