New Years Resolutions

Thursday, January 5th, 2012 at 10:55 pm

I don’t usually follow New Years Resolutions. Infact, I think it’s somewhat absurd to put off doing something til New Years. If you want to exercise or quit smoking or (anything)…why not do it as soon as you feel the need/want?

Also, I never really follow through with New Years Resolutions, often simply forgetting them.

Regardless, there are some things I want to improve on…so I figured I might as well make them and try to strive for it.

Again, it’s not like I was like “okay, new year….time to shape up”….I’ve been trying to do these somewhat before and after New Years…just saying I know how hypocritical it is writing what I wrote above, and then making New Years Resolutions. The irony is not lost on me.

  1. Be healthier
    I want to be sick less often. Less stress related canker sores. Lose some weight. Gain some stamina. I used to have a fantastic immune system….I was very proud of it, but it seems in the last 2 years, it’s gone straight to hell. I need to build it back. Take less drugs, let the body fight stuff off on it’s own.
  2. Sleep better
    No more 5-6 hours of sleep on work days. I want 8, give or take an hour or so. I think this will help a lot to being healthier. Don’t sleep so late on weekends and wake up earlier on weekends. I don’t think my body can handle what I used to do between 2000-2010 (when I was 18-28). I think it’s time to stop sleeping like a young adult…sad to say, but it’s true. I need to act my age a bit more…(in this one particular thing) :D
  3. Keep gaming and keep developing
    Besides work, and social events….pretty much the only 2 things I do right now is game and develop. Art, Photography, Blogging on the side…but blogging is pretty regular so I won’t include that. Basically I don’t want to forget to develop. Like warrenshea.com’s 4-month hiatus….I shouldn’t be doing that.
  4. Spend less money
    Just be smarter with money. Go out to eat less (going with being healthier). Less impulse buying.

Damn, need to write an epic post on Jan 7….don’t really want to atm. Would rather play Zelda or Develop. I have a goal to finish warrenshea.com by 1/14/2012….for a somewhat obvious reason that I can’t write about (hint hint). Was supposed to develop tonight, but just played Zelda. 27 Hours of playtime atm….so fun tho :D

WTB – January 2012 Edition

Monday, January 2nd, 2012 at 11:59 pm

What can I say, Dec was an expensive month. PART OF IT WAS THE CHRISTMAS DEALS and stuff. I didn’t even include some things in here in the post below…like I bought 2 Assassin’s Creed games…Assassin’s Creed for 14.99 and Assassin’s Creed Revelations for 19.99 (and I already got Assassin’s Creed II). I’m just missing Brotherhood. At under $20 for both, why not!? I also got some earrings for Z, those weren’t cheap (Tiffany’s…oooOOooo). I also got some cheap Street Fighter graphic novels…bah, too much to list. Anyways, Jan seems to be a lot better. With a lack of social events, plus not many items…I hope this money to average with December to be 2 average months. Here’s hoping!

Will blog more, I promise :D

Notes
Too busy socially this month. No more. So tired of going out. Got a small cold a few days after Christmas….and then went clubbing (This is London) on Dec 30, and then a House Party on Dec 31. While sick. ugh. 3 Brewers (a bar) on Dec 22. Went to that sausage house Dec 16. Went to a work holiday party on Dec 9, and then a bar afterwards. Went out for a friend’s birthday on Dec 10. Magic Wok and Go for Tea Dec 2. And 2 family dinners (Z’s and my own). 3 if you could today….which I won’t. Thanks goodness for Facebook Timeline (and Z checking in all the time), and Twitter to help me remember this last month. I should look at that every month, when I try to figure out what I did in the last month.

Seriously, out of the 14 days (of the Fri, Sat, and Suns of this month), I’ve been busy 9 of them. THAT’S TOO MUCH FOR ME. I need a break. I have no social events this month and I want to keep it that way. Maybe one. But that’s it >:(
