My resolutions this year are not especially groundbreaking. I want to actually keep my grades up. And paint more. and write more. Like Tania said, these are the sort of things that I am "just okay" at. They're both incredibly entertaining for me, I just... don't really keep a practice of either. My biggest desire for the new year is to actually get the noise project back together (the first member moved to North Carolina and the other dropped out of High School and went off somewhere so we don't ever see each other) and play a couple of shows. And pick a name, maybe. That is usually pretty helpful.

Resolution/s:

Work more.
Have more fun.
Drop out of college.
Make more money.
Buy more stuff.
Do a barrel roll.

I wouldn't call these resolutions so much as just shit I really need/want to do.
-Take some fucking risks because I have been way too safe and practical in my decisions so far. Transferring to art school or studying abroad are high on the list.
-Generally be more dedicated to art.
-Have more adventures. These will probably involve more risks.
-Run a half marathon in late April without hurting myself.
-Keep in shape to run a full marathon sometime this fall, again without hurting myself.
-Avoid spiraling into alcoholism following my 21st birthday. Mostly because it would be expensive.
-NO MOAR DRAMAZ. I hate the dramaz.

I don't really do new year's resolutions as such, but these are things I have resolved to do in the coming year. So I suppose I do do new year's resolutions. Huh.

- Get the silly fast band going again, play more gigs, incite more ridiculous mosh
- Find a house to live in where I can throw parties and have gigs
- Make some more serious music (either alone or with others) instead of just the daft fast stuff
- More gigs, more tours, more records
- Stick uni out and do alright
- Take more exercise
- Increased levels of smooching
- Watch more anime
- Quit smoking again
- More adventures, but with less nearly going splat whilst on them

a pack of wolves · « **Reply #75 on:** 30 Dec 2007, 13:57 »

The smell of stale smoke on your clothes is a vile one. I know this might not seem like a big deal, but just remind yourself when you want to smoke that it will make you have an unattractive odour. Surprisingly off-putting I always find.

jhocking · « **Reply #76 on:** 30 Dec 2007, 17:54 »

Smoking is outlawed in Chicago restaurants on Jan 1.

yes

mooface · « **Reply #77 on:** 30 Dec 2007, 18:05 »

men who smoke are prone to impotence.

Mydlo echoed that advice, adding, "Stop smoking, drink in moderation, lose weight, and maintain good blood pressure."

this is probably the most common warning label on nearly every pack of cigarettes i buy. health canada has about six they like to shuffle around. a lot of them are really gruesome!
specifically, the one they use for impotence is this warning + image:

as far as i know i don't have a penis so i think i'm safe.

1 My turn to change the cat litter box for the foreseeable future.
2 Try to be a better daddy.
3 Get the snip snip operation done. (2 kids are good, 3 is OK but HELL FUCK NO WAY am I having 4 DAMMIT)

i might even consider shaving the goatee and the pathetic stash.
