I resolve to 192.168.1.1

[dr4b]

I realized I wasn't doing new year's resolutions because I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore.

These are the goals for this year (with some actual number goals):

1) Find a good job that makes me happy.
2) Continue working on meeting new people. (Meet at least two new people per month. Have at least 5 new "real friends" by the end of the year.)
3) Read more unread books, watch more unwatched movies. (2-3 books a month, 3 movies a month.)
4) Travel to 4 cities I've never been to.
5) Do actual baseball writing, not just occasional links and babblings. (1 article per three attended games.)
6) Write 10 new songs. Write one completely original song (lyrics and music).
7) Spend less money. Manage my possessions better.
8) Go dancing at least once every two months.

The joke goals (IE, these are the sorts of things I don't expect to happen this year):

1) Stop playing puzzle pirates
2) Stop posting long things on livejournal
3) See a baseball game in the Sapporo Dome
4) Lose weight
5) Clean my apartment

Yeah. I love to read what happening up north. Except the baseball stuff, I skim those. :-D

For 4, are there *any* cities in this country you haven't been to yet? (I can think of several you probably haven't been to in Canada, though I can't think of why you would want to go...)

[dr4b]

Actually, there are plenty... I've mostly only been to places in the northeast, the northwest, and then a few scattered middle cities like Austin, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, and Provo UT. Cities that I have never been to, that I have excuses for are: Las Vegas (never been there, it's close), St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Atlanta, Phoenix, Houston, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis, San Diego, and probably others I'm forgetting (baseball). I'm trying to think if I have friends in any cities I haven't been to now, though. I don't think I do.

Then there are plenty of Canadian cities I could visit for the heck of it. I even have friends in some of them.

I guess I'd like to go to England or Germany, as well as back to Japan, but I doubt that'll happen.

If you do Minneapolis/St. Paul, you get 2 for the price of 1! I'd save that for december when you realize that you are behind in the goal.

Hey, give me a call at werk!

I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore

This sounds like me...

I like most of your resolutions. Some like reading, are already part of my goals. As for number 8, I should try to do this as well, what with taking a dance class and all. Were you thinking DDR or swing or ...?

Good luck with your goals.

[dr4b]

I was thinking ballroom or swing. I need to get over my shyness and just go to some dance thing out here already.

[bpr.livejournal.com]

Like I've said, I'm headed that way. I'll probably wait another month or two before I start dancing anywhere besides class though. Shall I try dragging you out, if I succeed in going?

[dr4b]

Where are you taking classes? What classes are you taking anyway? (just swing or other stuff?) Yeah, totally drag me out, it'll make it much much easier on me to know someone there.

I'm taking Social Dance I at BCC. Basically, swing and other stuff. Like I said in my journal, we learned foxtrot and a swing last week.

I resolve to 192.168.1.1

...

Do you feel like people aren't able to connect with you? Like you're cut off from the rest of the world?

[dr4b]

Yeah, that was part of the joke.

If you want help with goal #2, we could meet for coffee or lunch or something. (Fridays are currently best)

[dr4b]

That would be fun, I think.
