So...

I'm starting this blog as one of my NYR's (New Year's Resolutions). Yeah, I know, I know. It is already the 6th of Jan. I'm behind. My goal is to post once a week (i.e. 52 posts). Get into the habit of adopting new ways to communicate. The rest of my resolutions are as follows:
1) Read at least 6 books for fun (i.e. no business books)
2) Read one business related book a month
3) Read at least 6 spiritual/personal growth books
4) Complete one video game (there are video games that do have an end, I've just never actually finished one before. I got two for christmas that are that way, so I am going to finish one of them)
5) Plan 6 dates with my wife (one every other month - she has the other six)
6) Becoming healthier (I don't want to say lose weight or drop this many sizes, etc. because then I won't. Rather, it is more creating the habits with no goal in sight. In the past, I've tried to start exercising with the goal to lose weight and failed. I want this year to approach it, whether I lose weight or not, I'm going to exercise)
7) Start drafting a book (yes, I want to write a book)
8) Payoff all debt with the exception of my student loans (which are still too large at this point to tackle in a year), and our largest two credit cards.
9) Start a christmas club account for christmas 2010 so that it isn't a financial burden this year.
10) Apply for (and hopefully take) the Professional Engineers exam in October
11) Become more organized. I'm like quasi-organized (ex. I have my comics in a box and they are in order, but the boxes aren't where they should be and I don't have a inventory of them written down anywhere) (less nerdy ex. our bills paying process is still not as defined as we had it when we were in Indiana, so we need to get fully "recovered" from our move. It still seems we are still in relocation chaos).
12) Post progress on each of these on the blog
