So, what are your resolutions for the New Year? Here are mine:

SCHOOL
— Make it through the final semester of HS
— And the first semester of college

SPORTS
— Score at least once in a basketball game
— Pitch at least once in baseball
— Get on base at least once in baseball

PROJECTS
— Complete at least one writing project (Hide, Don’t Seek/Nick’s Village/The Uncool Kid/etc.)
— Finish/release at least three mixtapes/musical projects
— Keep RPG #10 going all year

PERSONAL
— Grow my Ethika collection to at least 10 pairs (currently at 5)
— Lose weight (Current 179.2, goals: 170, 160, 150)
— Read at least 50 books in 2016 (signed up for a Goodreads account to track my progress)

As a reminder, I was 3 for 5 in 2014 and 4 for 7 in 2015, so I guess I can reasonably expect to complete 5 or 6 of these 11 resolutions :razz:

No lie: These are straight-up my New Year's Resolutions, folks. In fact, this is so egregious that I would accuse user "Kungfupandacam" of blatant mind reading! Hahahaha. Talk to you later

As copied from the other thread:

- lose weight. Press myself into daily workouts - varied. Workout CDs, trips to the gym, jogging, sports. Lifting, Wii workouts, everything.
---And keep rehabbing my ankle from devastating injury. Maybe get back into tennis!
- practice music a LOT more - practice, write, record, arrange. Vocal practices. Keep hitting bass, and improving.
- learn - keep reading books, but do Khan academy, code academy, look into finishing that degree (unnecessary, but eh)
- pay off credit cards, and then make extra principal payments on mortgages. End 2016 debt free.
- keep improving my stock market knowledge, and make good investments, minimize losses. Push that retirement to new heights.

Vacations:
FEB: 3 days in TN (valentine's day) - 1 or 2 days PTO
MAR/APR: 4-5 days in Georgia (winery tours, etc romance) 2 or 3 days PTO
MAY/JUNE: Cruise to Alaska/Canada? 5 or 6 days PTO
SEP/OCT: week in New England, to spend a day or so with each couple and their kids/family/house. wow. 5 or 6 days PTO

Nice vacations AOW, making me jealous. I'll be heading to Rome for a week in March and I might go through Indiana, Ohio, Detroit in June to see family and maybe a ballgame or two.

Anyway here are my resolutions from the review thread


Anyway, new resolutions:
1.) win a Youth film festival in my area and collect the 500 dollar prize. Should be starting production on the film I plan to submit ASAP.
2.) Read more. I read a lot more last year than I did this year.
3.) uhh, do well in school. Cause it's junior year.
4.) be more confident. I'm only confident in certain situations. I plan to be more confident in a larger number of situations by the end of 2016.
5.) Don't be a Dick. Not that I am a dick now, but I'm around a lot of dickish people. So I don't wanna stoop to their level.
6.) enjoy 2016 as much as I possibly can. After 2016, things are going to start changing at an even more rapid pace than they are now. Which is like, crazy *(censored)* rapid. A lot of things I've taken for granted my whole life will no longer be available to me in a year or two and, as scary as that is, I wanna stop wallowing in self pity and a yearning for the past and instead just enjoy the rest of the ride.

The best resolution ever. You get my gift of welcome to the off topic comments thread consisting of a new member and the first member, me.
