So I’ve been thinking. What will be my New Year’s resolution? Well, I usually pick a few. That way when one falls through, I have another to fall back on. Always thinking ahead… 
Naturally, I want to get in better shape. I wouldn’t say I’m hideous, but I think I could drop a pound or two. But that wouldn’t be the ultimate goal. That would simply be a bonus. In getting in shape, I mean I want to be able to do more athletically and physically. I want to run farther. Go biking longer. Play ball better. So my first resolution of the new year is to be more active. Eating better could go along with that. My diet sucks balls.
Next, I want to buy a gun. I’m a red-blooded American, and have been thinking of buying a gun for years. It just has never been a priority. But I’m picking this as the year to do it. And of course, if I’m going to buy a gun, I will have to learn how to use it. So going to the gun range will also be on the agenda. I’m still not too sure which gun to buy, however. A 9mm wouldn’t be bad. But a shotgun would definitely get the point across. In case you’re wondering, it would be for the sole purpose of protection. As in if I hear someone trying to break in my front door, a verbal warning and the sound of a shotgun being loaded should be enough to discourage any would be burglars.
What else? Ahhh yes. I want to learn how to cook. And BBQ. I have done both in the past, but not to a point that I can be proud of. So maybe I will look into some cooking classes. And a new BBQ grill. An ex roommate of mine really jacked up my last one. So that needs to be replaced.
This is starting to look more like a Christmas wish list instead of New Year’s Resolutions. So to sum up, I want a gun, a BBQ grill, and an HD camcorder. See how I snuck that last one in there?
Last but not least, spend more time with family loved ones. And take the dogs to the park more. And not complain about Brian complaining when I kill him at Call of Duty 4.
This resolutions crap is hard work.
