There's several things I'd like to get done this year, but the only one I'm going to call a resolution is to stop being so hard on myself. It's just depressing when you can't keep them, so that'll do

On the abstract fuzzy list of things I'd like to do this year but aren't going to call resolutions because guilt can be a deterrent when it slips, lets spend 2010:
* Drawing. I've gotten absolutely nowhere in the past 3 years, and I could get really really good if I just put the time in...
* Learning Mental Arithmetic. For someone with all my maths-related qualifications, it's pretty sad that I can't add two numbers together in my head without some difficulty.
* Get a real job! I'm breaking even at the moment so while it's better than the situation some people are in, it does bother me somewhat.
* Wear more nail varnish. Why not.

im from 2010, hello people of 2009

Ontopic:
My New years resolutions that i know will probale happen
-get a Girlfriend (im not joking)
-get good grades
-:creeo:
 
1) Business as usual- life or things going in it are good so any changes that happen will probably be those that would happen anyway or require no special efforts to pull off (no to say it will not be physically of mentally demanding).

I will however offer some comments

1) Weight loss or toning up- I say go for fitness instead or better yet train up muscles and muscle memory to function in a way useful to you. All too often do I or others drag people who spend serious time and effort to look toned up a mountain, on a bike ride, on a walk and they suffer all the way and by similar token those that train their back up (or any of the other major trouble spots: knees, ankles, hips, neck, wrists) and learn to lift properly or otherwise apply force sensibly/usefully I reckon gain far more out of it that than those who spend hours doing stomach crunches. Remember also training is not necessarily about strength as you also have flexibility (bulk muscle often impedes such a thing) and stamina.

1a) Food also figured into this- learn to cook as cutting yourself off only makes for cravings while learning to cook makes you realise how nasty most of the stuff you would otherwise "miss" tastes. Do not interpret this as "go organic" or anything like that just learn to cook.

2) Job- this time last year I might have said I wanted a legitimate job at one point in life, I now realise that was probably a bit like having a picture on the wall: nice to look at but ultimately pointless. Playing a "miscellaneous contractor" or billing only as "services rendered".

3) Education- many of you appear to be espousing the virtues of learning something rather than getting a piece of paper saying you have a good memory. You people are in danger of making me rethink my views of people in general.
As an aside on that some are saying less time on forums, I say more time; you mess up a test and nothing really changes, you mess up advice or doing something most people around here care about then you have real problems or a need to fix things.

4) A significant other (or others)- for some reason it seems odd to have it here and as such it fills my head with either http://video.nate.com/207389969 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkCR-w3AYOE&fmt=18 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Txqmgr1k0Y&fmt=18

Become a vegetarian and stop drinking soft drinks. Lose some fat and gain some muscle.

So then today I'm going to drink soft drinks,eat meat, and be merry.

Maybe I'll throw in a beat every game I own that I've never beat.

I'll bet you'll go insane after a week with no meat!
 
-Be more punctual (I procrastinate like hell in school)
-Uh, I don't feel like making the rest of this list...I'll do it later

Just kidding...

1) Take the time to improve my violin and piano skills
2) Learn better singing techniques, learn to use autotune more efficiently (

)
3) Be lucky and find someone I like (aka girlfriend type scenario)
4) School; apply to a top-level college and get in
5) Place in the robotics competition (though this is the first year my school has ever done it, but I'm the one who organized the majority of it)

Try going 16 years. I've been a vegetarian since I was born and still am.
