New Rules..?
I should probably have some New Years Resolutions as well, but honestly I have not put much thought into it. There's not much about my life that I would wish to change right now as I'm pretty damn happy.. Oh ok ok, stop hurling abuse, I'll think of some and stick to them.
1) Go to the friggin' Dentist. I haven't been in forever and I KNOW it's going to involve a jackhammer, a lot of scraping and lots of tut-tut'ing on the part of the Dentist. Oh yeah, not an inconsiderable amount of pain, blood and swelling too. It's just something I need to do and get back on track.
2) Go regularly to the Doctor for checkups. Easy enough to do, except I'm the master of finding perfectly sensible reasons for not needing to go and indulging my complete apathy.
3) Quit smok-ahhh fuck it. I've already said that many times before. It's like a broken record by now.
3) Back to basics. Write my blog more like my diary for myself than trying to please any readers. I've noticed that over the course of this year as my friends frequent catspit (which I love, thanks for stopping by!) I've begun to write more and more magazine-style like I'm trying to keep them interested. This is somewhat against one of the basic tenets I began catspit with, in that it was a diary for me that others could read if they so wished. I want to get back to that life-documenting style as opposed to trying to write to retain readers. Ultimately, when I look back on catspit I don't want to look back on a series of links to other sites, I want it to document my life.
4) Do NOT bin a bloody motorbike. Last two years in a row have ended with either SUV's or Animals running into me in November on my 'last ride of the year'. This year, come November that bike is the hell in the garage and I'm not touching it. Seriously, punch me in the face if I even think about it.
5) Remain childless by all means possible.
6) Pay off the Home Equity loan as soon as we can this year.
7) Without sacrificing our lifestyle or becoming house poor.
8) Cook an interesting and nutritional meal at least once a week. We have enough recipes in our cooking light books to keep a small army going for years and I'm starting to find that I actually enjoy the process as well as the eating.
9) See more of my parents. As we get older, it's something that prays on my mind quite a lot and I need to do a better job of getting back to England to see them more. They aren't going to be around forever and while it can be 'a drag' to organise and fly over, I need to recognise this is an important part of my life and think about someone other than myself for a change.
10) Try not to chew my toes off in anticipation of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. This is, in my mind at least, going to be the game of 2005 without any shadow of a doubt. It will also likely be the only thing that puts the nail in the coffin for my Halo addiction.
10 rules to live by. I reckon that's not so bad. Not as earth-shattering as Brandon's maybe, but I like them. We'll review progress this time next year.
Happy New Year to you all!
