anyone got'em. i don't. just seemed like an appropriate idea for a thread.
To make more money.
to start doing my work, school music and my independent study art class.
and to make more friends who are my age, being that the majority of mine have either already left and are in college or are moving on next year...
to get a job
to get my liscence.
to grow a beard.
my new year was nearly two months ago.

kick ass!
I'd love to be in a band like that.
What are you talking about Paul? The Beatles were great!
;D
I tried to move it in a Death Metal direction, but John just wouldn't hop on board.
Then Wings just laughed at me. Jerks.
to be happy
to find love
to travel
to save money in order to do the travel
to make music
To be a better husband, work a bit harder in everything I do [size=10]& go on a diet...[/size]
I need to start riding my bike more or at least get out in the natural world more often one way or another (with ipod, i'm not crazy).
As soon as the weather gets nice again, yeah, then
i want to go with the flow more and stop worrying so much about dumbass shit.
and own my mistakes. yep. own them.
OWN them.
:)
perhaps even pwn them?
i want to be able to make things with my bare hands and some tools. i'm enrolled in woodworking next semester, so i think that that is a distinct certain possibility.
and i'd also like to go sky diving, perhaps mountain climbing, and hell...at least 6.7 seconds on a bull named fu manchu...
I can't have a beer til I brushed my teeth. :-/
Stop eating fast food, maybe.

haha. In World Lit, we had this long discussion about the modern "memento mori," and this one guy suggested that song. It was probably the funniest moment of the semester.
My resolutions:
1. go more places
2. get published
3. have more sex
4. write more often (this might help with number 2)
Quoteto grow a beard.
no that I'd pay money to see...

i push every night but nothing ever comes in.
not too hard now--you may get a hernia :(
Quote3. have more sex
4. write more often
Well, we've got two in common.
1. Obtain a girlfriend. It's been a little too long without a nice girl by my side. (This should help my sex cause)
2. Get in better shape. I can't remember the last time I've done any physical activity without being under the influence.
3. Make more time for my family.
I think that's good. My resolutions never get accomplished, best not to get carried away.
go to bonnaroo for the 1st time
1. Lose weight
2. No smoking
3. Practice the bass and guitar, at least one each day
4. Stop complaining/whining about never having money
Quote3. have more sex
isn't this on EVERYONE'S list? :o
^ hahaha!
5. Find someone to have more secks with
I love this board... :)

3. Make more time for my family.
I need to do this, too, but only if some doctor makes a resolution to provide me with a script for valium. Or if someone hooks it up with a taster's job at the Maker's distillery.
My dad just called me this morning and spent like thirty minutes telling me what a piece of shit I am. It was awesome! ;D
I think my resolution should be to realize that I can love my parents without loving the people that they are.
QuoteMy dad just called me this morning and spent like thirty minutes telling me what a piece of shit I am
FUCK that.
You are not a piece of shit.
Don't listen. You're young and parents have a way of fucking up their kids...believe me! from what I've gathered here, you're busy in school and doing well. he's full of SHIT.
:) how old are you Meg? I spent most of my 20's thinking my parents knew everything and that I should listen to them and always take their advice. I would have been better off and happier to have just done what made me happy and blocking out their negativity. My mom had a way of making sure I didn't get "to full of myself" or in other words she made sure I had NO self confidence. Don't let them convince you that you can't do something, they may be right but you owe it to yourself to give it a shot and figure that out on your own.
hell yeah, if I had listened to my parents I wouldn't be posting this message! I spent my 20's putting down roots in a different state (here in Louisville) and struggling to make ends meet...but damn, if it wasn't worth it. I'd probably be on public assistance or disability or some other "I can't work" miserable failure that my hometown seems to produce in spades...life ain't easy saying "Fuck you" to your parents, especially if they can help you financially, but I swear to God I'm better off for it.

You seem like a very nice young woman to me. :D
Thanks, y'all.
(group hug)
:D
my mother expresses what a shitty kid i am, too... constantly... mind you have have about four hundred "extra cirriculars" and i'm a pretty smart kid.
a few weeks ago, wehn report cards came out, she said that if i wasn't home in 20 mintues (from the time she called) she was going to call the police.
why?
because i had B's.
bull.
shit.
anyway, i guess a resolution should be to respect her more, being that she's only hard on me 'cos she wants me to "do better" and sees that i could go far, if i actually got on top of my shit. but all the same, i'm fifteen and in HIGH school... i jsut wanna herbalize and play music, dude brah.
but all that aside, i should treat her better 'cos she only wants whats best for me.
You realize that she wants you do better so that in three years you will get ouf of the damn house and quit mooching off her right? :D
hopefully less than that --- i plan on moving out ASAP.
donno where i'll go, but somewhere...
she lets you 'herbalize' yet she complains about grades? i've herbalized plenty in my lifetime, and there's such a thing as starting too young, and if she's letting you do it now, her logic is extremely flawed. she needs to deserve respect before she receives it.

I always feel like the kid in garden state when I'm around my parents. So yeah i like valium too. Sorry Meg if that isn't the right use of the word too, my brain is having trouble functioning.

Damnit it didn't post. I always feel like the guy in Garden State around my parents. So yeah, i like valium too. Sorry Meg if this isn't the correct use of the word too. I saw it was one of your pet peeves. My brain doesn't want to function.
one of the greatest days of my life was when I figured out that my parents were just people like me. Just regular old human beings. Of course, it took 10 years of drinking and drugging, rehab and real deep therapy to get there, but... it was worth it.
QuoteSo yeah, i like valium too. Sorry Meg if this isn't the correct use of the word too. I saw it was one of your pet peeves.
You got it right!
You're too cool!
;D
Shit, I guess I'm the exception in this crowd cuz I had the greatest parents a guy could ever hope to have.
Yeah me too.
I think my parents did a pretty great job of raising us (both my sisters are doctors, I guess I'm the black sheep...)
I love all my family dearly & miss them heaps, especially now around Christmas time.
The fact that my parents have a lovely villa in the beautiful Spanish countryside doesn't hurt either. They just bought a big jacuzzi, can't wait to go back again next summer...
QuoteYeah me too.

If you don't mind me asking, whats in Japan that you and your wife are there for?
My wife has a very good job that pays well & has good benefits, rare for a women in Japan, even in 2006.
I work with children & have done all my life. I'm making twice if not 3 times as much here in Japan as I would be if I was teaching in the UK.
Sounds like you're doing fantastic over there.
QuoteSounds like you're doing fantastic over there.
Yeah we have a good life, I'm not complaining.
I miss my family but we always try our best to all get together at least once or twice a year. I'll see them in the summer in Spain & then Xmas in the UK next year :)
I empathize with parental struggles, believe me. My mom is in her 60s and has been acting like a rebellious teen as of late. I feel like her mother most of the time. What Tracy said is wise, though. It's good to realize your parents are people too especially while they are still around. Many things I wish I could've said to my dad. Anyway, back to resolutions.
1- stop wasting so much time
2- eat full meals (too many years getting by on powerbars,etc)
3- be more open to dating and hopefully not attract anymore clingy/insecure/narcissistic drunks deterimined to plague me/waste my time as was the case in 2006.
4- apply for real jobs rather than being in adjunct prof/wage slave hell forever
5- do more volunteer work
6- get out more/expand my horizons so that when my old cat dies I don't immediately throw myself off a bridge
QuoteI empathize with parental struggles, believe me. My mom is in her 60s and has been acting like a rebellious teen as of late.
Yeah that happened to me before as well. I honestly needed to say to her "Mom, chill the fuck out. You're 45". Ha.
Yeah, I had to escort my mom to traffic court last night for the second time in 2 months. Sometimes I wish I could hire a full time babysitter for her or tie her to her recliner. On a related note, the screenprinters downstairs are playing CSNY's "teach your children well" right now. Maybe I should stop talking about my mom.

sex......yeah now there's a resolution I can handle along with party like a rock star and maybe....
TO NOT MAKE ffffffing NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS! ;)
Quotesex......yeah now there's a resolution I can handle
this thread is really getting going now...or turning into the "how I resolve to have more sex in 2007" ;)

"how I resolve to have more sex in 2007" ;)
And just how DO you propose to RESOLVE this resolution, Mr. Conaway? And are you really going to wait until January 1, 2007? That's 16 LONG, LONELY days away.......why put off til tomorrow what you can get done today...or tonight... ;)
I'm used to having to wait, my payday isn't until the 1st of the month ;D
ooooo - Tater Tot! What do you mean?? Do you know what we're talking about? I mean it's about sex not money, but now that you talk about "payday" maybe I'm not sure of YOUR meaning..... ::) :o ::) :o
1. See MMJ again. Anywhere in Europe.
2. Stop fuckin' moaning about the "stress" of a well-paid job...
3. See MMJ again. Anywhere in the world.
4. Drink less (may reconsider this by Feb 1)
5. Listen more.
6. Smile more.
7. Realise how lucky I've been to find a great life partner, travel in many countries, avoid major illness, live in the first world, and have some great friends and family to call my own.
8. Not get too self-satisfied about 7 above.
Quote[size=10]& go on a diet...[/size]
Oh yeah... that too. Damn you, beer, cheese & wine, you are my downfall! mwahahahaha
Sex & money are always connected in one way or another. If your married or single it still costs you. Date nite with my wife is probably just as expensive as getting a hooker. Which I would NEVER consider. I would rather go blind from masturbating,( at least thats what my mom told me would happen.) ;D ok, I gotta go shave my palms, Sorry about not articulating my thoughts better.
