New Years resolutions

What do you plan on changing this year?

I myself would like to get into better shape and finally quit smoking altogether.

Get out more often, stop wearing uncomfortable shoes, give more money to buskers.

If you need help keeping your resolutions let me know.

And why do you want a desktop, if I may ask? I went to a laptop in 1999 and I'll never go back.

Mostly because I want to learn a lot more about computers, and desktops are easier to take apart and play around with. Plus with laptops if something goes wrong it can be harder to fix. The backlight on my screen keeps flickering, I think its loose but I can't pop the screen out, at least without using a lot of force, and I'm afraid I'll break it, and if I break the screen I might as well get a new laptop, it'll cost the same as a replacement screen.

Because desktops kick laptop's asses in all areas but mobility...

Yeah, that is true I guess. Now that I think of it I switched to my 1st laptop right about the time I gave up on computers as a hobby and just wanted something functional that ran the software I needed.

Then try to get the rest of my life back on track.

Spend less time watching movies and TV shows, and more time reading non-school books.
Quit dying, backcombing and straightening my hair until it gets shiny again.
Keep my place clean and tidy, it looks like a squat right now.
Visit my family more often.
NO MORE PETS. Apathy's Child is banned from bringing home street dogs and alley cats.
Wear earrings more often, they suit me but I've been too lazy to put them on most mornings.

That's about it - I'd like to quit smoking, but being realistic I'll probably jack it in when I finish college. I am going to try to cut down though.

I never make New Year's Resolutions, 'cause I'm pretty good at breaking them within the first week.

I have a few plans for next year.

1: Work out more. I'm aiming for a 2% bodyfat level. Been working at it already. I'm at 7% right now. 185 lbs at 6' even. I may gain weight from muscle mass but less fat is the goal.

Last year I made a similar resolution to lose weight. I was up to 215 lbs. So I was pretty much able to keep that one. This one isn't going to be difficult at all by comparison.

2:Keep working in graphic design, makeup and get a 30+k salary. Almost there as of yesterday.

3: Build my music studio up a bit more and start writing music again.

4: Break back into acting through my makeup job. Very plausible.
