Default New Year's Resolutions

We all make them and usually break them, don't we?

Mine are more like fuzzy notions of I ought to do this or that.

So here they are in the order I think they are possible to achieve or at least less likely to be totally broken:
  • 1. Get better organized. Loosing too many things in the big mess surrounding me. Forgetting where I've put things, in a rush to shove them away to be dealt with later.

    2. Deal with things as soon as possible, not leave them for later. I used to do that but I've become too scattered.

    3. Get in shape. Yep, this too I used to be but then I discovered the net and the forums ....

    4. Stop or at least reduce smoking. Very, hard, most likely to fail at this.

Happy New Year to everybody and may all your wishes (or is it resolutions?) come true!

Here are mine,

1) Post my photo on the Statcounter forum (done)
2) Go to bed before 4 am most mornings
3) Smoke more ciggies. Sometimes 20 a day just isn't enough
4) Drink more beer.
5) Teach myself a few new skills
6) Survive the year
7) Review my resolutions at the end of the year and make next years more realistic

Default New Year's Resolutions

Mine are always almost impossible (for me to keep).

1. Finish a book I started three months ago.
2. Have a life beyond shopdrops.com, statforum and work.
3. Have some physical fitness routine for health reasons.
4. Not to procrastinate.
5. Learn how to cook meals other than Filipino dishes.
6. Lessen eating icecream - I eat a bowl of ice cream everynight!
7. Stop trying reducing my ciggies. (This is easy)
8. Stop shopping form things that I do not really need. (Not so easy)
9. Try to read Proteus' s Yahoo e-commerce manual. (Not so easy)
10. Try to understand weblish. (Not so easy)

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! ----- MANIGONG BAGONG TAON SA INYONG LAHAT!

Mine is a serious one and takes many guises. It is more like a dozen resolutions all rolled into one and best summed up as trying to be a better person next year than I was last year.

I second Marks comments regarding the devastation in Asia.

Happy New Year to you all.

The recent events does make people refelect on how insignificant (and fragile) life really is. There is a lot more to it than most of us think about on an average day.

Trying to keep a little upbeat. A happy new year to you all (maybe too late for Mark). I was thinking earlier. If GMT is zero surly there can only be GMT + up to 24 hours so rather than be ahead of GMT you would have to be behind it. Lets face it if you had a minus GMT you would be gettting younger, right???

For those really bored there is a plaque in Greenwich (South East suburb of London) you can place one leg either side of it and have half your body in one time zone and the other half in another. Oh yes, the Cutty Sark ship is kept there also.

As for the resolutions. You can see my picture. I am only 21 you know so it shows what ciggies, beer and staying up till the early hours does for you.

I am very gullible I admit but not that gullible to believe that you are that man in the picture hammering his life away!!!

I would believe that picture if the young man had ciggies with him.

Hi China Tea,

I have my pipe on in the picture.

Ah, I understand. You thought I was young and attractive. Now you have seen my picture you are not sure about my advice and comments.

A lot of people say I have a face for radio. My body could do with an Iron as well. It won't get all the creases out.

I got one of those electric stairlifts and a step in bath for christmas from my great, great, great grandkids.

I have said this before. Would I lie to you
