resolutions and all that crap

so i found my list of resolutions from last year this morning. not so much found, cause i knew where it was, maybe dug up is the word… thinking back, a fair amount of thought went into this last year. i hate the word resolution, but having gone through this process once (and only once in my life), it actually kinda works. mainly cause there’s something written down somewhere that forces you to follow through…

most of these are done/being done and those that aren’t will probably get carried through to 2008...

1. get fit
done. but having done my hamstrings some slight injury this past weekend, i guess one can always be a bit fitter

2. buy a car
done. on january 17th, in fact. but i might (already) upgrade, depends on the finances though. but, i might yet get that scrambler i want…

3. get a bike
uhhh, not done. come to think of it, a bike would’ve been very handy this morning when i took my car in to get fixed… i should look into that.

4. play golf
uhhh, also not done. but we moved a bit further away from the driving range (that was literally about 400m from our old house). end of jan means time to buy our drivers though…

5. smoke on weekends/when out only
done. and then some. haven’t smoked in a year. well make that 364 days. a full year on jan 2nd. been tempted twice this year though…

6. jog
done. in fact more than done. made friends with richard branson’s house of pain… fun times…

7. make shirts
uhhh, not done. which is a problem… must make shirts, too many good ideas to go to waste on a pc somewhere…

8. launch a site or two
technically done. tycoon launched in july plus i had a bit of fun with thenewnewmedia.com (felt like the right time to blog about what i blogged about there)… tycoon will hopefully get the attention it deserves in 2008, still not sure what i want to do with thenewnewmedia.com… i didn’t complete what i wanted to though… got a plan coming together with a mate for early 2008

9. go to the berg
uhhh, not so much. got to go to india though. and hopefully will visit sun city soon enough. mozambique is a plan for easter… and south korea is definitely on for end april… berg might fit in this winter, not too sure about fest…

10. pay off *that* loan
technically done, but practically not so much. i guess we’ll see…


i also managed to do lots of stuff that wasn’t on this list, stuff which (now when I think back about it) was unexpected and cool :)

as for 2008… i’ve decided i’m not going to post the list, that’ll make following through too easy… that said, maybe the focus this year will be less on buying stuff… things…
