New Year's Resolutions

I think that it's a fool's errand to make promises to yourself to change just because a new year rolled around. Instead, I'm shooting for goals this year; whether they're possible or not, I'll find out in the pursuit.

1) Make a wilderness survival kit: I took a mountaineering class when I was in college, and we spent a weekend on a wilderness camp at a nearby armory. We had to build our own shelters and cook a half-chicken in a coffee can, and somewhere in there learn about tying knots and such. In there, I learned the value of a well-constructed survival kit, with knives and first aid and tools for warmth and things to trap small animals for food. In the pursuit of personal improvement then, I'm setting out to assemble a survival kit that, while I may never need it, will come in hand if I ever should.

2) Write something every day: Congratulations, Science Gone Mad, you are the proud recipient of this fine undertaking. I like writing and I like to think of myself as a skilled manipulator of the written word. I've got a ton of ideas in my head, but I'm not putting anything down on paper/word processing tool.
That being said, I remember reading in a rap magazine or book the words, "If you're a baker, you make your living off of baking. If you're a construction worker, you make your living doing construction. If you're a rapper, RAP, motherfucker." Well, there, I needto write, motherfucker.

3) Watch more TN wrestling: I should be getting out to my home state more often to check out the work from the NWA:CW guys, 'cause their shit is tight. When a particular show looks good, I hope I'll be able to make it out there to see it. It would be nice to make a show a month, but I don't see that happening. A show every two months shouldn't be a problem though.

Any other changes I make, I ain't promising shit just for the change over to the '05. If I work out more, then it happens. If I eat healthier, it happens. If I keep up with my paper better, then it just happens. But I ain't making promises, because promises are for chumps.
