No, see what you need to do is... 12292008

Although I do not believe in making resolutions (see sidebar), this season makes me think of things I can do to change myself for the better. I know I am progressing to something great and I feel that these things can only make my journey better.

• Get a job-With bills piling up and the desire to experience more things, it is paramount that I land some type of stable employment. There biggest impasse that I encounter is my availablity during the semester.
  
• Take better care of myself- I will achieve this through becoming physically fit and eating more healthy. I know this will not come overnight but I am taking steps block by block. Start with jogging and cutting out soda to end up 3-4 days a week in the gym and off red meat.
  
• Become more vocal- This territory comes along with being more confident in who I am. I do a pretty good job of voicing my opinions, but there are situations, issues, and debates that I fear to entertain. But this break from school has been an eye opener for me and I will always remember these things when I feel intimidated by the aforementioned situations.
  
• Read and write more- I feel that I have a lot of vivid stories that could make for good tv shows, movies, documentaries, etc. They often come when I am alone and have no way of documenting them. So I will start to carry and USE some thing to take down my ideas. As ideas spill out I will need to replenish them with new ideas through reading. Good news on that part is that I have accumulated 4 different books since the semester ended, so ummm, yea...let me get to work on that!

Sidebar: If you have a problem that you feel that you need to RESOLVE, why wait until new year's to make a RESOLUtion. Take the time you have now and make a change. It doesn't have to do something drastic, a small change in the right direction can set you up for greatness in your endevours. People often hide behind this notion to continue to engage in things that provide instant gratification(read: pigging out during the holidays) [CUT TO: Me eating everything in sight, lol]. I'm not perfect, just saying....
