Matt Young 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 With it now being December 31st of 2003 (damn, time flies), some of us will be making new year's resolutions- setting goals for ourselves to attain throughout the coming year. I'm getting old- kind of going through a quarter life crisis- and trying to get over the worst year of my life, so I have several resolutions I have made. Have my first professional wrestling match: Wrestling has always been a dream of mine. I've started training with NMW twice and had to stop due to financial reasons. This time, I have the cash. I'll be going back in a week or two, so if all goes well I should have my first match by summer's end, around my 20th birthday. Get built: This is somewhat related to the previous resolution. I was fat all my life, but as a result of stress induced anorexia caused by Mandy ripping my heart out, I lost over 40 pounds and now hover around 125. I need to add some muscle for wrestling. I'm the same height as Chris Benoit and would love to be in the shape he's in, but of course there's no way that'll happen in a year. I just want to get started on it. Get a tattoo: I have wanted one since I was a kid. I have several ideas and haven't decided on a certain one yet, but I'd like to get inked soon. Go back to school: I'm one smart motherfucker. That's all I hear from everyone. I got great grades while in school and have a genius level IQ. So why the fuck am I not in college? Good question. I plan on starting classes over the summer or in the fall at the very latest. I'm very eager to learn. Start reading more often: I still get tons of magazines, but I never can afford books anymore. I used to read for pleasure for hours each day. I need to renew my library card and then start buying books when I get a job. I am going to force myself to read at least one book per week. Repair my relationship with Mandy: We spent every day together. We were best friends, then lovers... Then exes. But we still remained best friends. Now, I don't know what we are. I still love her, but even I don't know if getting back together would be good for either of us. Regardless, I miss my best friend and want her back at least in that capacity. Figure out what I want from women: On a somewhat related note, I need to decide what I want from women. Throughout life, I have wanted nothing more than a committed, loving relationship. Now that my one true love has broken my heart a thousand times over, I don't know if I want to risk that again. Also, for the first time in my life (probably due to the weight loss brought on by the aforementioned heartbreak) lots of women seem to find me attractive... Beautiful women at that. When I know they are interested, I gain confidence and thus am able to get together with them. I have turned down more girls this year than in my entire life before, and there are at least 5 girls who are very interested in me right now whom I consider gorgeous. Should I try to find that 1 special someone, or should I play the field and enjoy this blessing while I'm in the prime of my life? Go back to church: I was raised Christian. I attended a Christian school up til high school. I may have stopped practicing the religion, but the values instilled in me by the church have made me into the sensitive, compassionate man I am today, and for that I am grateful. I recently started reading the Bible again and attended the Christmas Eve church service at my mom's church, and I feel like God is what I need right now to help me through what's been a long stretch of painful ordeals as well as to guide me in making the decisions I have listed here. I'm not sure if the Christian faith is for me, but my goal is to at least go to church for a month or so, every week, to get back in the swing of things and try to see if that's what's right for me at this time. Well, I know there are more, but this is getting long. I may add more later. What are some of your new year's resolutions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2003 That's an awful long list -- start with baby steps. I don't do New Year's Resolutions because I'm not going to let a change in the year influence how I should lead my life. Besides, there is nothing I can do that will make me a better person...

Guest stardust Report post Posted December 31, 2003 I don't make New Year's resolutions, primarily because I'm kinda always welcoming change in my life anyway, and because I forget them within a week. Despite not making any resolutions, though, 2004 is looking to be probably the best year of my life so far, with lots of changes going on in the next five months that I'm quite excited about.

Guest Skironox Report post Posted January 2, 2004 Read more often - Books really make me think and have been all but shut out of my life recently. Not to sit around on my ass as much playing video games. Eventually find my way back to getting a job, need some references first. Start getting some muscle - My body is predisposed to carrying muscle rather than fat, I have an extremely high metabolism, but due to my slacking around sitting on my ass I just look like an anorexic junkie. Get a social life again, and stop being so lonely and negative. Study politics more deeply and get involved, rather than just lurking in online political forums. Not masturbate until I lose my virginity, because settling for anything less than the real thing can be a bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
