It’s that time again! Time for everyone to start making promises to and/or setting goals for themselves which will more than likely be broken and/or failed by the end of January. Hooray for New Year’s resolutions!
So what am I hoping to change? First and foremost, I want my wife and myself to join a church here in town and become much more intentional in our relationship with God. Another resolution, of course, is to get into better shape by exercising regularly. The equipment I have is minimal, but I can always visit the TRAC once classes start again. And to help me stay accountable, I shall blog about it occasionally! Still, this is most likely resolution to fail. We’ll see. I also intend to rate each day of this year on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the crappiest day ever, and 10 being the most awesomest day! And I think it would be fun to take a picture of myself once a day, and then, by the end of the year, create a time-lapse video. While these are decent goals to make and keep, it doesn’t even come close to the ultimate sacrifice.
Though many of you may not believe it, I have less than one case of Mt. Dew left. After this case is gone, I will start drinking… *sigh*… diet soda. I can only imagine the looks on the faces of Maeda Sensei, Sean, Katie, Mat and Jae. Maeda Sensei is probably hopeful I can follow through with it!
God help me.
Right, so you know what my resolutions are… what are some of yours? I’d love to hear…
Until next time,
N.

Heyyyy, thanks for following my blog! I absolutely love your idea of taking a picture of you once each day to build a time-lapse video by the end of the year. I think this is an awesome idea and one that I might try for myself (sorry for being a copycat, lol). It would be cool to see how this turns out for you. Please keep us posted on your progress. Also, I think it's a great resolution for you and your wife to get more involved in the church. No matter what religious denomination you all are affiliated with, the idea is to establish or reestablish a relationship with God or the higher being that you worship.
Oh, and you'll do fine with diet mountain dew. Once you get used to the taste, you'll do just fine. I felt exactly the same way when I would drink like almost a pitcher a day of kool-aid, then stopped and began drinking crystal light. That was a shock to my system, but eventually I got used to it and wanted nothing else. When you get the chance, please visit my blog to take a look at some of my new years resolutions. Some are quite common, but others are more realistic and ones that I feel would be much easier for me to keep throughout the year.
Have a happy, safe, and prosperous new year with your wife and family! Enjoy your new years eve!

I'm really wanting to have a "do it" mentality this year. I always dream big and have all these things I want to do, but never end up doing it because I struggle to start. If you have an iPhone they have this application where you can actually rate your day:

Pretty sweet!
Nick, I try not to make New Years Resolutions because, as you stated, I fail miserably. I actually don't know that I have ever made a resolution... however, Matt and I are expecting 2009 to be a great year. Things have been rough lately, but we feel we are at a starting over point. BTW, Matt would NEVER switch to diet. I have tried.
Aww Nick, what great resolutions! I definitely feel ya on most of those resolutions! I'm planning to start going to church with my parents, start working out at TRAC and get off the soda for a while again. Maybe we'll run into each other at the gym! :D
Hey, Pam... It's my pleasure to follow up on your blog! The world of blogging is indeed an interesting one! :D Hope your January '09 is going well thus far!
