2008 Resolutions

[Drazan]

Anyone making them? What are they?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mine:

1) lose the weight I gained when I was sick (have exercise membership)
2) stay healthy and cancer free
3) figure out a way to get out of debt :rolleyes:

[Tea]

My sister always comes up with ones that are great and won't make her feel bad if she doesn't keep them.

One year it was to go to the Spam Museum (about an hour from her). She didn't make it, but I did. The reaction when she found out we went was priceless!

I should lose weight, but that's already a goal so that doesn't count.

I think mine will be to see where the Mississippi River starts. It's about 20 miles from my house and I've never seen it. I'll take photos too.

[John G]

Find A Job

[Tea]

Sounds like an excellent plan John G.

Drazan...thanks for posting this. I'm just about to head out to Gander Mountain, buy some snow shoes and providing the weather is suitable, I plan to go to the Itasca State Park on New Years Day!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Nope ... not making one stinkin' resolution ... its another mechanism to make you feel bad about yourself if you don't or can't keep it :D


I am on my 4th day of no cigs ... I refused to quit on January 1st, December 27th sounded good to me :D

[morea]

good for you, Kittie. 4 days, that's great!

[Two-Toe Tom]

i resolve to eat more nachos! WOOOT!!!!1

[urstwile]

I'm still sticking to a resolution I made years ago, which is not to make New Year's resolutions. :D

[Tea]

RKK...very cool on the not smoking. I quit over 2-1/2 years ago. Best thing ever!

[Red Kittie Kat]

lol Thanks guys ... I don't think my family thinks its all that cool at this particular point in time ... they are avoiding me like the plague. Something tells me I might be a tad cranky .. but I can't be sure :D

[Ovaltine]

I gave up making new years resolutions years ago, I always felt like crap when I failed on one or 2 of them, so I decided to have vague personal goals like....be nice, stop talking so much, etc. You know, easy peasey simple things.

Besides, I don't drink, don't smoke, am not over-weight, and the only debt we have is hubby's school loan, and the mortgage. So all the regular resolutions are pointless for me to make.

I suppose I could resolve to actually DO some excersize, but I really do better just making daily goals. They're easier to achieve, and not depressing when they aren't ALL met.

[graphicsmama]

pay off school loans by end of 09...so it's a two year resolution :)

[CkretAjint]

1) Be more proactive with my life and doing work in a timely manor. Especially with freelance work, and personal art/design projects.

Today I got off my butt and learned to make custom hard drive and folder icons. I chose to make CS3 style icons for myself this time around...

Alice is my "Macintosh HD", and "Fairy_Godmother" is my external hard drive. :D

2) Be more conscience of what I eat and try to exercise more.

[Takayuki]

I have so many resolutions.
But the most importent things will be:

-personal life-
Get married. (the gf that I have now)

-work-
I have dived into to much stuff,(CG, GraphicDesign, Web, etc) that I've noticed that I've only touched the surface of every area. I now need to only focus on things that I have already touched and digg in more.

-GD forum-
Since registered on 2005, my post has only reached a half of taco:D
My aim for 2008 will be at least two taco's? or more??:rolleyes:

[Exodus]

Figure out how to swindle people out of their money so I can get out of debt.


Whoa! I think I just had an out of body experience... :eek:

I don't make "resolutions".

[PrintDriver]

Ckret, I gotta laugh at your drive names. In fact, I get to laugh at a lot of people's drive names. They show up in the broken links palette in Ind and Quark. LOL. You also kinda wanna be uh...careful...about the folder names you make for your clients... :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Ckret ... love those names :D

[Tea]

Love the Fairy Godmother name! That's great. I always name my drives. Eddie, Frank, Einstien and Stinky are my current ones.

Most of them are male names. I wonder what that says!?

[Two-Toe Tom]

Oink.:)

[cornfed]

I haven't made any resolutions. Great job on not smoking Kittie! I hope to quit soon, but I've been saying that for years.

[Drazan]

Go Kittie!!

On names of things. My little computer is called MiniMonster because at one pont it had a 66 inch IDEE cable out one of the ports to make an internal CD writer become an external CD writer. Shared as "Arda" with drives at one point called Gondor and Eriador. :p

My new computer is called MegaMonster. With drives MegaMain and MegaSwap.

:)
Jade

[Red Kittie Kat]

I've decided to put the money I used to spend on cigs toward a new pc ;)

Then I can have a megaMonster too :D

[ZippyTheWonderMonkey]

My Res':

Gain 20-90 more lbs

drink more

lol, yeah right


now for the serious ones


try to save one more life/home than i did last year. (not relative to GDF, but still one of them [Zippy is also a volunteer firefighter])

Earn more money

and as always, improve my GD skillset by 200% (fell kinda short this year)

[OTEM]

To get a job and to stay alive.

[Neballer]

1. Find the jade monkey
2. Rock hardcore tasty abs - washer-board style!

[reuber1]

1. Move out. This is directly dependent on...
2. Getting a job in the field. Seriously, it'll be four years out of college this May.
3. Have a more successful AFL tryout to where I'll actually get called by some teams, even if they're just AF2 or Indoor league teams, not that I'll join or anything unless I happen to live close enough where it's practical. Just so I know that I was noticed in that regard. To help do this...
3a. A 4.6 40 yard dash.
3b. A 9 foot broad jump.

[MD]

I made a few last night.
Drink less.
Exercise more.
Work on my portfolio site.

So far ...
I woke up at the crack of noon, cracked a beer, played some video games, and ate half pan of brownies for breakfast. My resolutions are off to a bad start ... If I had only started my day with eight big rock squats things might have been different.

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmaooo whats a big rock squat?

[urstwile]

I was seriously afraid to ask. :rolleyes:

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmaooo maybe I should rescind the question :D

[MD]

LOL - sorry Neballer's post references a Tenacious D song "Rock Your Socks Off"

Now I know what a lot of you are sayin':
"I just figured out what I'm 'onna do with the rest of my days.
I'm 'onna get me an oversized guitar, gain forty pounds and be the next D.
" Well I got sour news for you, jack. It ain't that easy.
For instance, are you willing to make the commitment to wakin' up
at the crack a' noon, for deep-knee rock squats!?
Seven or eight at a time!? In a row?
How 'bout are you willing to make the commitment
to rock-hard tasty abs washer-board style?
Glistening in the sun. How 'bout are you willin' to make the commitment,
wakin' up, goin' okay, it's gig time, what t-shirt am I gonna wear?
Can't decide: Can't decide: Brain aneurysm!
We've been through so much bullshit just to be here tonight
to rock your ****in' socks off. And all we ask in return is so precious little.
All we're askin' you to do is drop trou and squeeze out
a Cleveland Steamer on my chest.

[urstwile]

Ahem, thanks for the clarification, MD. :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmaoooo :D


Well that was way more info than I needed ... that last line alone just gave me a veryyyyy bad visual http://redkittiekat.com/p9/blink.gif

[Tea]

Well I learned much more than I expected today. What a way to start the new year. Holy crap.

[urstwile]

LOL, Tea. :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

Poor, sweet, unsuspecting Tea :D

[budafist]

If I come across the choice to do something or do nothing, I have to pick do something. Life is too short for regrets.

[Neballer]

You should throw in some caulk pushups MD, just to be on the safe side.

[MD]

One a day Neballer - cause, well one is all ya need.

[Neballer]

too right.

[frankster]

Jesus on a jetski, this thread headed painfully south.

My new year's intensions will be to stop saying yes to more than I can handle, because I feel obligated to help. Whether or not I will be able to stop myself from feeling guilty about saying no is another thing entirely.

Find more time for more foolish endevours that are pretty much pointless, but make me childishly happy. I am still jelous of a mate of mine that finds the time and money to travel to various museums and lick famous works of art. Absolutely no reason for it apart from ticking off a list of famous art that he's licked.

Teach baby number one to write her letters and numbers.

Teach baby number two to pee in a toilet.

Teach husband number one to locate dirty laundry basket on pain of me locating husband number two.

Jesus on a jetski, this thread headed painfully south.

Don't look at me :D
