  • 2006 - what are YOU looking forward to?

    So, what are you personally looking forward to in the new year? (Inspired by the same-titled thread in GHW/SW)

    I'll go ahead:

    - "Divorce" (we weren't married, but we had a kid and lived together)
    - Getting my ass off the ground
    - Sorting out my life
    - Hopefully final attempt at getting some kind of job education (apprenticeship or uni)
    - Socializing more (I've really dug myself in the last few years)

    It's all part of the master plan!
    There's an Opera in my macbook.

        To get my weight below 200 for the first time since high school (15 to go)
        A little more self-dicipline to clear my staggering backload of personal projects
        Saving enough for that new camcorder I've been doing without for nearly 3 years!!!!

            right that bit I have achieved.

            Kresq, same here got about another 12 myself to get me below 200lbs, lost about 25 so far.

            Mostly the same as Jesse's list, surprisingly our lives are similar, cept well I want a divorce - still

              I doubt I'll be below 200 again anytime soon. I'm 228 now, and although I have plenty of fat to lose, I probably wouldn't want to lose 30lbs.

                    I am looking forward to getting out of debt

                    Getting into debt. (house)

                    Divorce is never easy, but as Willy Nelson said at the end of Dukes of Hazzard "Why are divorces so expensive?" "Because they are worth it"
                    "I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned."
