New Year

January 01 2007
It's a new year now, and, as I am wont to do, I spent the evening looking back over the past year at how I've changed and grown.  Since this time last year, I've dated two more girls, lost my viriginity, had my first drunken night of puking, had my first drunken night of fun, been to Philadelphia, seen a few plays, worked my ass off, goofed my ass off, seen about 30 movies, earned a few thousand dollars, spent a few thousand dollars, made some new friends, lost some old ones, and alienated a few more family members (they deserve it).  As for my spiritual and emotional development, well...I can't really describe that, but I have a feeling that people around me can tell, and that's what's important.

So, my new year's resolutions are these:
01. Keep this girlfriend; she's my favorite thus far (as indicated by the fact that I'm still with her)
02. Lose my fat
03. Build some muscle
04. Re-attain full membership in the Honors Program
05. Get along better with my parents
06. Whine less
07. Spend a few more drunken nights with the girl in Resolution #1  ;)
08. Play soccer again (hopefully!)
09. Let my knee heal (before I do #8)
10. Finish the books I've started
11. Start new books
12. Spend more time with friends who will be leaving in 2008
13. Canoodle
14. Write some more songs
15. Get the hell out of the dorms
16. Improve my piano skills
17. (vastly) Improve my singing skills
18. Start scoping out bars in preparation for April 7, 2008

That should start me off well...I can probably keep 3 or 4 of them.
