New Years Resolution 2011

Hey thar' internets,

It's the day after Christmas and I think it's a good time to talk about New Years Resolutions. As we all grow older, I think we forget to make one but I think it's essential in reflecting on the year to date. It's a time where you can see what decision (bad and good) you achieved and how you want start the new year? Example? Did you spend a lot of time eating a ton of sweets (chocolates and candy)? Do you want to change that in the new year? Add "start doing Pilates" to your new years resolution or even better "The INSANity Workout".

What I'd like to first start off doing is checking out what were my last year new years resolution and see what ones I am proud of and what ones I need to still do. Here are a few:

--New Years Resolution List-- (2010 edition)

Be open minded and don't turn down everything instantly.
-I definitely think I achieved this one by being just more open to everything. I think my personal growth in this was fantastic and I will continue to keep this kind of mindset.

Get out more.
-hahahaa, I def. achieved this one (for better and worst).

Have a new outlook in life.
-I think I have a new perspective on just "living" and what being "happy" means when being compared to "having everything you want in life". If this isn't on your list, ADD IT!

Marry Jessica Alba. Make 2 babies.
-Well that restraining order isn't helping...but that won't stop me now! 2012 is coming and the worlds ending. I'll be damned if we don't marry and have 2 babies (12 months to do all that. I better start cracking).

Eat out more occasionally and order their "most popular dish"
-Not really a financial new years resolution but I did get to eat out more and tried out new restaurants (and some old ones too. I'm looking at you Bennihanas! You are so delish! Right Katie?)

Get into a serious relationship.
-Well, I'm re-adding this to the New Year and hoping things work out!

Talk to my favorite people more often! You know who you are! <3
-To the people I've met this past year and gotten to know more. I <3 you guys! You guys are amazing and make life livable :)

Get matthew to quit wow.
-I know matthew is going to read my blog so matthew, I'D LIKE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I ACHIEVED THIS ONE!! YOU FUCKER! hahahaa

Take a trip.
-Two words. Vegas. (oh, you were waiting for another word, well, Vegas is just that badass that it takes up 2 words.)

Try something new every week.
-Another financially not possible item on the list but I think I've definitely expanded out of my comfort zone. One of my favorite things I did was go Rock Climbing for the first time. That was insanely fun and an awesome workout! If you ever want to come with or need a partner to go with, give me a jingle!

Enter in more competitions.
-Readding this Bitch on my new year!

Start running at 11 oclock at night again.
-Whooo! I did pretty well on this in the summer which makes me happy :)

Don't deal with bullshit anymore.
-I don't like singling out people (especially on the internet) so I am going to readd this to the new year to make sure I'm not dealing with BS.

Learn 3ds Max like a professional.
-Work in progress!

To go around and tell people I don't know that I'm a famous hand model. Slap them when they look at hands.
-baahhahahaaaaaa


Now, you can see how starting out the new year and having a lot of items on your list can seem daunting but when it gets around to the end of the year, it's an awesome feeling seeing how things worked out and what didn't. Now being that it is a new year (2011!), I think I need to make a new list and here it is (drum roll please):

Get a tattoo (probably going to be the phrase "Carpe Diem" on my wrist).

Marry Jessica Alba. Make 2 babies.

Eat out more occasionally and order their "most popular dish"

Make sure the people that are the closet and are basically family know how much they mean to me! <33 you guys!

Hang out with the Whiskey Happy Hour guys more often (I don't think this one's going to be a problem. AWWWWW YEAAAAAAAH! GET SOME! Ian's Pizza better be ready for me!)

Make more progression on a certain goal in life :O

Get into a serious relationship.

Quit drinking soda.

Manage my money better and quit impulse buying (Damn you sweatshirt from Express Men!)

Wrestle a bear. And win.

Don't deal with bullshit anymore.

Take a trip.

Enter in more competitions.

Finish my first short film ("TEETH" - coming to a theater near you! ahhaa i wish!)

Go to another giant rave! (The Northcoast Music festival was such an insanely awesome time that I got to hit up another giant music festival. P.S. summerfest doesn't count because I end up going to that already!)

Be more outgoing and go out more often!

Keep working on my own personal growth.

Try something really out of my comfort zone!

Stop eating at fast food restaurants as often as I do.

Set up something up (blog wise, website wise) where the whole idea is to music binge. For people who like what I listen to and would be interested in starting this with me. Get in contact with me somehow (email, facebook, twitter, messenger pigeon, etc.)

Start playing Tennis in the summer.

Be more organized!

Start a new yearly tradition!

Find a new outfit shopping buddy (no homo)


Well that is all I can think of atm and if you have any more ideas, please do message me and I'd love to add them!

Happy New Years everyone!
