SAVINGSCarry the momentum of having that little known thing called a "savings account". I learned from the Katrina disaster that you REALLY should have an emergency fund. Living paycheck to paycheck is not cool or acceptable to me anymore. The stars have properly lined up right for me and the financial Gods have brought great blessen upon me. NOTE TO SELF: DON'T SCREW IT UP THIS TIME! I have no excuse for not allowing that savings account to modestly grow. Don't let it burn a hole in my pocket. My Pathfinder is paid for. Sure, it is 5 years old, but I don't need that bright shiny sports cars to make me feel younger nor do I need some luxury vehicle to impress my peeps. (that is what my body is for)
FITNESSSpeaking of my body... I worked my ass off this year to have an awesome body. I have a nice strong masculine and shapely upper body. KEEP IT UP! I am at 80% of where I want to be. My goal for the New Year is to have much bigger biceps (cause strong guns are sexy), bigger legs, and a more fuckable... errr... nicer butt. My challenge is to stop the PIGGIE act. I have resigned myself to eating all the crap everybody else eats during the holidays. I am not going to settle for being a TUB OF GOO like everybody else. I will NOT be a lazy slacker in the gym. I will have the body I always dreamed of having. WHY? So I can kick your ass if you tick me off.
ACCEPTANCEMove past my childhood horrors. I have 15 Christmas cards at my house right now. Only two are from my family. I have some great friends that have been very thoughtful to me. Whenever I get a card or a gift, my first reaction is usually "I don't deserve this." Well, it is finally time for me to recognize that I am a great person and that I have wonderful friends. I am well loved. I have some good friends because I work hard at being a good friend to them. Time for me to recognize that! I AM worthy!
MCSE CERTIFICATIONGet my MCSE certification. I have taken 8 computer classes in 2005 and I have at least 7 more this year. This allowed me to fire our network administrator and do those duties at my place of employment. Instead of crashing on the couch at home (or jerking it online)... I am going to be a responsible student. I will study hard, take my exams, and pass my exams. That will be my primary focus. Slab can be loved by a real person in real time on the weekends. Time to divorce my hand and Slab during the week. In my opinion, Slab and my hand spend too many countless hours together when I could be studying.
TENNIS PRO AMBITIONSBecome a better tennis player. I am playing in an Austin gay tennis tournament March 18-20, 2006. I need to greatly improve my serves. I also need to better prepare my stamina for grueling tournament play. In the
Houston tournament a couple months ago, I was a walking zombie after playing 47 games in one day. My heel was hurt. Every leg muscle ached. To better prepare myself for the physical requirements of a tennis tournament, I will go to spinning class AT LEAST twice a week. Additionally, I'll play my whipping boy once or twice a week. My whipping boy has gotten dramatically better! I'll keep him around just to remind him of our the proper pecking order. When I am fully superb, I am going to travel however far to KICK
DAVID'S ASS in tennis. GRRR... Yes, I am still holding a grudge for being 0-1 against David.
