Your New Years Resolutions for 2009


Off-Topic Discussions


I will get my midlife crisis over with in a single day, BASE jumping from the top of the Eiffel Tower in a parachute-rigged Stingray convertible, with a bevy of giggling, underage and poorly raised cheerleaders while strung on an I.V. full o' saline suspended crank (with added Ester C)... from the driver's seat I'll then bungee down into a pit of fire and grab a roasted apple with my teeth before snapping back upward. I'll devour that sweet pome in a single bite and then scream aloud my single line salty poem, "IT'S HERE AND THEN IT'S GONE, B!TCHES!" If compound fractures and third degree burns don't let me know I'm still alive, what will?

I will learn to manage my time better. Getting more done in a day and turning down those projects for which I haven't the time.

I will endeavor to be nicer and more understanding. Especially to stupid idiots.

I will bite the bullet and pay to have my busted hard drive data stripped, returning a year of lost writing, including a few important novel chapters.

I will bust out a graphic novel.


Same as The Jade but blindfolded XD

Spoiler:

Get my doodlings it three different publications
Attend to PaizoCon and get James Jacobs to sign my hairy chest and eat one of Lilith's real cookies
Add color to my portfolio
Get into art lessons
(Change)Define a career

Edit: I must add that on a curious twist of fate, I ended up here at the boards making totally different projects and making whole new plans for next year... And and LOVING it! In the economic aspect, things may go down next year but I could actually go back to do stuff I really love...

I'm not going to make any resolutions this year. I always end up making resolutions that never happen, and not because i lose interest, but because I simply don't have the money to do it. So, I guess, if anything, my resolution would be to get a higher paying job, or find another money making prospect on the side.

Liberty's Edge

Well, I somehow lost 30 pounds this year without going to the gym or significantly altering my diet.

If I have a resolution, it's not to let the fat come back and set-up camp on my @$$!


I want to budget my time better, do more color work, draw every day and spend more time on creative projects. Maybe finally get around to advertising my website and making promotional materials.

Get healthier. I don't care if I lose weight or not: I want better cardiovascular health and stronger muscles.

Follow through better on projects and commitments.

Learn to play 'cello, harp, and concertina. Get markedly better on guitar and hammered dulcimer.

Spend more time around kids.

Get a new RPG campaign started up and running.

Liberty's Edge

Get a job.

Get in shape (been having this one coming for awhile now).

Finally get my name out there on the d20 market (been meaning to get something published for a -long- time now but I haven't had the guts to do so up to this point; that changes this coming year!).

Get something published, either in a publication or just for the heck of it, on a website.

Get approved for gastric bypass, since nothing else seems to work.

Keep my current job.

Make peace with myself Why not dream?


>Looking at 2008< I have to say I only did 1 of 3.

For 2009:

1. Write everyday

2. Submit a paper for journal publication

3. Goto gym atleast 4 days a week

5. Get A's in all my classes

6. Be more considerate of others


So, how did everybody do?

Make sure that the apple is washed first.
