It’s a new year. And?

And I’m really bored of hearing people’s resolutions. You resolve what, exactly, that you didn’t resolve last year? And that phrase, it also bugs me, “Last year”. You mean 5 days ago right? That’s all it’s been, there is no big revolutionary change that all of sudden will make you able to go to gym more, lose that backstreet boy you ate in 2009, quit smoking or whatever other “bad” habit you want to rid yourselves of.

2010 is a mere 4 days in and already I’m irritated by petulant people talking bullshit and singing the praises of the new year. Pah. Idiots.

I’m not going to set any new year resolutions as I did not last year. I am going to set myself some goals.

Some of these are listed below. Some are new and some (a fair amount are carried over from last year):

1. Reacquaint myself with the Greek language.

2. Skydive

3. Bungee Jump

4. Learn a 4th language

5. Go for cooking lessons – My preferance is Thai food and Wok cooking.

6. Learn how to make sushi.

7. Go overseas – Preferably to somewhere I’ve never been. I hear Thailand is beautiful.

That’s it. Seven attainable goals for 2010 (some actually carried over from 2008. Wow, that’s depressing.

    Wishing you luck buddy, keen to join you on the sky diving —> I hear, two sets of shriveled balls are better than one!

    Bah Humbug! One person’s goals is another’s resolutions. ;) Hope you’re having a good one Nic. And if you finally go overseas, you should visit LA!

    Erm, the difference from resolutions?

    Hahahaha, OK OK, I see the point! But Resolutions seem to only be made in rash decisions of over-eager enthusiasm on the cusp of a “new dawn” every year! Whereas goals are made with a specific intent and are more rational and targeted in their nature. I think.

    Mmmm, dubious, let’s just say you have made one resolution: Achieve all my goals.

    hehe, I would also like to go skydiving in 2010 and just yesterday, while eating a sushi lunch, I though that perhaps I should add learning how to make sushi to the list.
    Good luck with the goals, it all seems very fun.
