I usually try not to make resolutions, considering it a better option to make a promise to myself instead. Last year it was to stretch regularly and drink more water. This year, I want to tackle the little things that I usually deprive myself of.
1. Finally get a new copy of book one of Song of Ice and Fire series from George R.R. Martin. It was lost forever in the lending process.
2. Stop lending books to people who don’t have respect for their well-being ( how many of you hvae been there “Yeah, I’ll get it right back,” and them 5 months later it’s back missing the cover or the last chapter?)
3. Go see classical music performances at least 4 times in the year. Hellooooo Handel!
4.Go to museums on the free days. Every month.
5. Actually buy Firefly on DVD. It’s about Gor-ram time. And heads up, a reliable source says that Nathan Fillion is the nicest guy ever to work with and just loves his fans.
6. Beg, borrow or steal a telescope and go star gazing.
7. Build a small scale seige weapon.
8. Interview George Takei. Or get coffee with him.
9. Continue to stretch every day.
10. Really try to drink more H2O. Fore reals this year.
What are your Nerd Year Resolutions? Share and good luck!
Lets see here …
1) Yep … drink more water. I lived for 20 years in India where I trained myself to go all day without water so I didn’t risk typhoid or cholera. Still wary … and I’ve been in the USA for 20 years. too.
2) Make sure I get that 1 1/2 mile evening walk. I go late so I can talk to God quietly.
3) Lose the 10 pounds sitting at my computer setting up my blog, packed on my butt. THREE chocolate bars plus ice cream and cake … every day …. is just plain excess.
4) Speak up at the Board Meetings about abuses I know are going on. I hate to make waves. Gotta make them sometimes …
5) Buy that fantastic LCD Celestron microsope so I can see the world in a grain of sand. I love paramecia … I’ve even made amoeba jewelry with little paramecia evading their pseudopods
6) Finish the Schumann Kinderszenen and put it on you Tube. With more digital drawings
7) Get the “Gleeful Guru” blog up and running. Gotta tell those stories.
8) Be firm and stop spending time with people who add nothing to my life. I can’t help them and they sure as heck can’t help me.
9) Stop napping so much
10) Go to bed earlier so I don’t nap so much.
* And heck if I foul up now and then …. well don’t give up, just start afresh …
Hmm, I already have mine written out.
1) Read fifteen books this year
2) Complete my bands demo we’ve been working on
3) Learn new shred techniques on guitar
4) Lose a few pounds
i don’t have any :D
