I think having a list of New Year’s resolutions is just setting yourself up for disappointment.  So this is just a list of things I HOPE to do but, if I don’t succeed, I’m not going to judge myself.  Although this should not prevent you from judging me.

  1. Travel. I didn’t even get on a plane last year. I meant to go to California and Australia but I just never got around to it.  This year I’m definitely going to London for a week or two and maybe I’ll squeeze in California.
  2. Write At Least Three Crappy Stories For My Writing Blog. I haven’t posted a story since December 2007.  That’s just sad.
  3. Participate in National Novel Writing Month. This one is kind of a long shot.  I don’t know if I have the patience and dedication to do this yet. But it’s a nice thought.
  4. Spend Less Money On Comic Books. I went from spending $20-40 a week on comics to $50-70 a week thanks to all the crossovers and tie-ins for Marvel & DC Comics’ events.  I plan to pare down my weekly pulls by half by March.
  5. Pay Off My Credit Card Debt. I’m laying low for the next three months to pay off my new laptop, Christmas and all the other shit I bought in 2008. Read the rest of this entry ?
