I don’t generally make specific New Year’s reloutions, but I do always have things I’m striving to accomplish, and January first is as good a start date as any.

I want to be able to see my abs. I don’t care if there is a six pack or just flat, but I want to see them. To do this, I am going to stop eating sweets alltogether. Seriously. And I am going to do several sets of crunches and other core workouts each day. When it’s warm enough out not to freeze my lungs, I’ll begin to run in the evenings again in order to shed the beer gut.

I want to write something. Not just a blurb or bit of expostion, but a short story or even the outline of a novel. It needs to have a begining and an end and a nice plot to follow.

I want to read more and be on the internet less.

I want to spend more time with my friends. I’ve been really bad at this lately. I rarely even see my roommate. This will change.

I want to be outside more. On my days off I want to be hiking in the mountains or at least walking around town. Not inside.

I want to find a new job.

I want to find a place to volunteer that better suits my calling in life. (Whatever that is.)
