DISCLAIMER:
Yes, I know this sounds very Asian and it was definitely not my intention to. For the first time, I actually wanted to do a New Year’s Resolution but of course I got lazy and here we are in February. I figure if I was this late on writing my resolutions… I probably need a curve/buffer to complete them in time. So Lunar New Year will be the finish line and the “real” New Year’s will signal the final stretch.
Resolutions
1. Let go and enjoy life
Too many times I let things bog me down and let things get in the way of just simply living and enjoying life. That comes to an end this year.
2. Putting myself out there and meeting new people
I’m not all that social. I hide in quiet corners whether it’s at home or at a party. I need to make the most of my limited socializing opportunities since I’m stuck in the pharmacy with no one my age.
3. Start the bucket list
This pretty much ties in with #1 and enjoying life. It’s very easy for me to do the same thing every day and never venture out to do something new and exciting. I’m very used to chilling at home, going out to see a movie, surf on the web for a couple hours, go to karate 2 days out of the week, go to AC way too many times….you get the picture.
4. Blog more
A very common resolution for bloggers. I find it especially difficult to talk about my life on the web. For me it takes some serious material, self-reflection and editing time… But it forces me to see things outside of my own perception and give me a broader few of things…which I kind of honestly need.
Bucket List for 2011 and beyond (to be edited constantly)
1. Skydiving
Alright, I cheated it a little bit…I already did this one early this year. But having done it sort of sparked this motivation to create my bucket list and “completing” it.
2. Run a marathon
This year I’ll be turning 25. By the time it becomes the Year of the Tiger again, I will be 36 and everyone knows your body will be exponentially worse by then. Probably got a good couple years left in this body to do what I want with it…so I’m gonna push it while I can.
3. Snowboarding – Learn to ride “regular” by the end of winter
Snowboarding…weather has brought a lot of snow but with work and bad weather mixed in. I haven’t gone out as much as I wanted. Time to make use of my season pass before it’s over which it will be very soon…
4. Make an awesome marinara sauce.
I’m a total pizzeria food fanatic only because marinara sauce is so delicious…I need to learn how to make my own so I give restaurants all my money.
5. Build my own awesome PC
Already well within finishing distance.
6. Go on a date
Sad but true. Never went on a date. Damn it.
7… I’m sure I’ll think of something.
