Goals: Lifetime and Otherwise
My friend Kevin had this idea to create a new “New Years” beginning in Spring. For those of you who live in the temperate zones of the world, where S.A.D. is a way of living, this makes more sense than Jan. 1 as the official New Year. Spring is about renewal. The dead of Winter is about depression. ‘Nuff said. So, with that, I’m adopting this practice, and these are my Neo-New Year’s resolutions…
- Re-learn most of the Mandarin Chinese i lost this past year
- Re-learn a bit of the Japanese I lost oh so long ago
- Be less cranky
- Learn Ruby and Rails programming to some useful degree
- Learn at least some Tibetan beyond the three or four phrases I know now
- Pay down credit card to a reasonable degree
- Learn how to use that Anime Studio program I bought a year ago
- Read more
- Play around with iStopMotion some more
- Vote for Barack Obama in November. Hoo-yeah!
I’m mildly embarrassed that half of these involve computers, but I learned to accept and embrace my nerdiness long ago.
