An OCR new year - Resolutions? (Happy New Years!)

[Pi_R_Squared]

As this year draws to a close (or, by the time some people read this thread, it already has), the practice of resolutions rears its head for a brief moment, before being forgotten a week later entirely.

My resolutions?

- Get more exercise. I'm a skinny white jewish kid that spends all day playing video games, all while barely leaving his house. Stereotype, yes. Fun? Eh... only sorta.

- Better grades in school (Never hurts to throw one like this in the mix)

- Get a mix up on ocr. It's gonna happen, just you wait and see...

What resolutions are you planning to ignore this year?

[OverCoat]

There's a lot of things I should probably do. Make an album, sell my music to some huge depository of other shitty music for commercial use, get Anime Remix out of its rather dead state [HALP] even though that's not really possible, get a job and work on moving the fuck out of this house, get a car, get a few friends, a place to call my own... That's pretty much it.

Oh yeah, and soon I'll get to work on writing that chiptune tutorial!

On a more serious note, if I were to make a New Year's resolution, I'd take your second one, cuz I've got room for improvement there.

-Go balls-out in rugby and aussie rules this season, including getting fit and eating better (I've already cut fast food - now for more).

-Less time working on OCRCL.

-Give my dingle more tingle...me slow want fast.

Here's my top five:

5. Make some friends and stuff.

4. Get a new car.

3. Learn to play the violin.

2. Finish up work on my album.

1. Get a mix submitted to OCR.

[HalcyonSpirit]

1. Get more friends -- I'm seriously lacking in this area.

2. Get more exercise -- Again, seriously lacking in this area, but at least I'm taking Kendo these days.

3. Improve my grades -- This past semester really sucked for me, and my grades suffered a huge hit. I really need to bring them back up.

4. Write more of my story in less time (ie: write faster) -- It's taken me about 4 years to write 8 chapters of my story (shameless plug), and I really need to pick up the pace if I'm going to get it done in a reasonable amount of time.

Beat me do it.

[Black Mage]

I've never really done the resolution thing, but I suppose the this year I'll seek to continue working out on a regular basis, as I have been for the past two years or so. It's worked well so far, in the past two or three years I have lost about 60-ish pounds. Now I want to build muscle, so I guess my resolution will be to do more weight lifting. And as always, I'll seek to further improve my chefery skills.

I'd also like to try and gain some sort of actual social life...yeah, that'd be nice.

[Hellcom]

1. Never make any new years resolutions.

[EdgeCrusher]

I don't do resolutions, cause that's just a fancy way of saying "I'm going to something a few days and quit".

[Jeditrooper]

1. Successfully pass U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Training. (Literally a year long)

I have ambigous and simple resolutions!

- Become more fashionable to get the ladies

- Lose the 10 or 15 pounds slowly and become a sexy beast I hope

[Atomic Dog]

I think everyone should resolve to quit bitching about the new vBulletin. Because it's fucking awesome. AWESOME.

Good work DJP! I am quite pleased.

Also, my resolution is to never live in Washington State ever again. My lease ends today, I'm staying with la familia for a few days, and then I'm leaving this fucking horrible state in the dust forever.
