Happy New Year.

Now the fun really begins. 2002 sucked for quite a few people... You mention the enthusiasm for the new Year and most people give a shellshocked groan. They've gotten past the horrific 2001 year, 2002 was just a constant low point. Politically, Socially, Economically and Culturally (proof = "The Bachelor" on TV). For me personally, 2002 wasn't so bad. I managed to stick to some of my resolutions and had some personal gains this year. Not to say it was a perfect year, but it turned out ok. So this is starting point zero, and like last year - 2003 has some deliverables for yours truly. Here they are:

• Determine what Education I Need and Fully Pursue it By End of the Year.
  
• I know this is going to annoy some of you - but Be a better person - give back to the community - Volunteer to do something... anything!
  
• Get back on the health kick, not the vanity trip
  
• Read More books, less periodicals (A book every 2-3 weeks)
  
• Cook more, improve my limited culinary skills into something tangible.
  
• Save Money.
  
• Be Less Cynical.
  
• Go through closets, storage and shed excess crap. Give to Charity.
  
• Enhance Website and Mac: Learn Midi and develop Mac tools more.
  
• Call old friends and relations more (another carryover from last year).
  

Basically, I'm carrying over about half of the resolutions from last year. I did pretty well in terms of the first one to go to the gym about every freakin day. I did stick with a strict regimen until June when I got lazy and it got hot. However, this year is all education, baby - I gotta get back into school somehow...
hmmm - on with the show...
