New Years Resolutions!

[superplough]

Does anyone make them? More importantly, does anyone keep them?

This year, I have a big one. Stop eating pies.

Hopefully I can do it.

[Caster13]

I got one for you.....stop being so crazy about Rozen Maiden!!!

[Shiroiyuki]

I'm going to be less of a *****!


*Long dramatic pause*


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah, right. I give it ten minutes :P

[max payne]

The one I had last year was to be nice to everyone at school/college.


So my New Years Resolution this year is to not make such stupid decisions.

[Old Ape Face]

My new years resolution? Hmmm I'd like it so that people wouldn't consider my Handicaps a restriction from public life. In other words, a dumb *** retard who'll ruin everything that I touch.

[Shiroiyuki]

^How is that a resolution for yourself?


A resolution would be 'I will try and fit in with society, despite my handicaps'. Something you can do to better yourself. Not a hope that others will be nicer to you out of the blue.

[Old Ape Face]

oh I intend to improve myself, that was just a bit of a "Hmmm what do I want people to consider me by?" But give it time and patience, I only live once, and I want to continue exploring.

But sometimes people don't give me the chance to express my talents with them. This year I resolve to getting better at Snowboarding.

[Caster13]

I'll spend less time here.

[superplough]

Oh yeah, my other one is to learn to drive, and get a car.

[Old Ape Face]

I'll spend less time here.

That's a good one, I should add that to my plan to taking over the world.

[Xhalen]

1080p.

or

Maybe cutting down on the lame jokes.

[Caster13]

I wonder how many/few people actually keep their Resolutions?

[Etchd]

My New Year's Resolution? I won't make one ever again.

[Old Ape Face]

My New Year's Resolution? I won't make one ever again.

mmm a Resolve to never resolve? sounds good to me XD

[throughhim413]

1080p.This thread has a winner.

[Holy Knight]

I resolve to keep going with the resolutions I have and become a better person by persisting towards the goals I've already set for myself.

Reseting each year is for amateurs. Keep it in HD; don't change for the sake of changing. :P

[Lacan]

Maybe get myself a girlfriend, a one that is very smart, kind, and badass.

[Old Ape Face]

Maybe get myself a girlfriend, a one that is very smart, kind, and badass.

hmmm I need one of those too, but badass? uh yeah ok everyone's badass to you then?

[Sendo Takeshi]

Gonna get me a job that pays well. Women are secondary since they're only needed for making me sandwiches and fetching me my beer.

[HSaabedra]

1. sling rock
2. take up "independent contracting"
3. buy legal team
4. Buy Detroit for pennies on the dollar
5. Put catgirl manufacturing factories into production in former Big Three infrastructure
6. Get Paid
7. Eliminate national/international debt
8. Make MechaWorks into a bigger network than Weblogs Inc or Gawker Media.
9. Build harem
10. Retire with said harem
11. DAT ***

[RecentMidget]

get a girlfriend that I will actually like.

[Midoriko87]

Oh yeah, my other one is to learn to drive, and get a car.

Mine, too! Well, I kinda-sorta already have a car, all I need now is the Mad Driving Skillz...or enough skill to help me avoid killing stuff...

I also plan to pay off my credit cards, completely. I've already started, actually. Gosh, I can't wait 'til I'm able to get more Credit Cards! :wub:

[RecentMidget]

^ you should ask Miko to teach you how too drive. He'll do a really good job :lol:

[Haro!]

I'm starting over and lowering my impossibly high standards. Now its just Korean girls with iPhones and MacBook Pros as opposed to Korean girls with iPhones and Power Mac G5s and/or Powerbook G4s.

[Jon]

-I'm going to try and rid myself of my quiet personality in the RL. I believe the fact that I'm quiet is the reason I don't have many friends anymore, or "true friends." However, though I keep most thoughts/emotions to myself, I believe one of the reasons I've kinda lost touch with most of my friends is because all they like to do is get drunk and high, while I distance myself away from alcohol and drugs, but I lost friends in the process. Perhaps friends I don't want?

-I agree w/ 1080p

-Complete my huge backlog of games to beat.

[Spadesy]

^ The best way to break the silence with others is to be sarcastic in thought, saying things just for the sake of saying them. I don't know what it is with people, but most are under the impression that silence is a bad thing (for some reason). If somebody talks crap to you and you don't reply back, then you are assumed to be offended or too incompetent to reply. If you don't make idle conversation to avoid an awkward silence, then you are awkward. If you don't talk at a party, then you are out of place. Perception is reality, as dumb as it is. I've often found that the annoying, opinionated person is the one that attracts the most attention from people and keeps friends the longest. The smart and silent ones are lonely.

Edit: Resolution, to come off the alcohol, that stuff is expensive and doesn't improve anything.

[Black Cat]

i dont have any

[Naraku]

I always keep my resolutions.

This year, not going to eat any fast food for the whole year. Going to be easy.

[shinri]

To quit smoking, period. I'm very content with everything else in my life. I'm down to my last pack now, and refuse to buy any more. Wish me luck!!!:)

[Spike]

^Best of luck and smoking is bad people stop now before it gets worse.

[Jon]

Good luck!

I had a relative who smoked for 40 years or something and decided to quit one day, and it only took her about a week. I don't know how common that is, but I found it pretty amazing.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

For new years I'm going to start smoking, drinking, and over eating.

[Rurouni Saiyan]

1. Stop Procastinating
2. Exercise more
3. Take steps to getting to the UFC :)

[Soluzar]

I'm going to try to excercise more. I'm not really bothered about my weight, but it might boost my energy levels and make me feel better if I excercise some more.

Man, Don't think that way, it almost always turn's out like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-Elr5K2Vuo&feature=related), and in sometimes uncommon situations, It can turn into this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbsUsXVyKBw) when friends are involved...

Lets just hope it doesn't go there.

1. Stop Procastinating
I make this resolution every year, but keep procrastinating to actually do anything about it. >_<


My resolution is to try not to think school is such a huge waste of time....If I do actually end up going back this semester.

[Leader Desslock]

I've resolved not to hit another car on my bike.

Gods, I hope I can keep that resolution this year.

[Jia]

To remember where I ended up for New Years. :)

[Rurouni Saiyan]

Another resolution:

To push my gaming abilities further. In other words, get so good at a game to the point of breaking it.

[Xhalen]

Pac-Man or Donkey Kong?

[Rurouni Saiyan]

Pac-Man or Donkey Kong?

I was thinking more along the lines of pong :)

[ryushe]

Get a filming crew and a mullet and your set to go.

[goddessofanime]

Get serious about changing myself overall.
Take every oppoturnity to enjoy new experiences.
Pursue my dreams
Get a new job where I'm not wiping **** off

[Spadesy]

To quit smoking, period. I'm very content with everything else in my life. I'm down to my last pack now, and refuse to buy any more. Wish me luck!!!:)

:lol: You and me both, we'll motivate each other by slapping one another if either of us touches a cigarette.

[Chidori Raikiri]

Play more video games.

It's not a joke. I'd really like to make better use of my time.

[Old Ape Face]

I've resolved not to hit another car on my bike.

Gods, I hope I can keep that resolution this year.

Right, but instead you find yourself smashed into a tree from a long exhausting ski trip in northern Vermont.

[HSaabedra]

Serious resolutions:

Move in with a friend and live on my own again.
Build AnimeNews.biz into a serious competitor to ANN.
Build MechaWorks into the most successful blog network/software development house not backed by a corporate entity or venture capital.
Learn how to drive a manual transmission vehicle.
Be more open to the fairer sex.
Travel more often and experience more of the world.
Hopefully meet some of the AN members I've grown to respect over the years.
Take better care of myself.

[Shiroiyuki]

I already broke mine.

Out of sickness, I'm sure <_<.....

[The Million Dollar Prons]

^^ Hey you know I have a Survival Horror game News\Review esque blog\site idea, maybe you could host Prons' Horror shack? :D

[Magami No ER]

Last year I resolved to go to bed earlier.....did the opposite once I got to college. ;_;
This year I'll resolve to sell commissions and drive more, or something. XD

[Caster13]

Pac-Man or Donkey Kong?

If you can master both of those, and make it to the final level and win, you have godly video game skills. Even more than some of the people on XBox live.

[fujyoshi]

My New Year's Resolution? I won't make one ever again.

/heh thats right my friend. I did make one last year to play more RO though I think I definetly kept that one o_o

[Shinji Hirako]

Pass some subjects at school + do well at boxing.

[taily]

^ Sorry for asking but...did you seriously join just to say that?

[Meggles]

One of the coaches at school says his resolution is, "To stop referring to my students as turds."

My resolution is to not piss off the coaches.

[fujyoshi]

/heh thats horrible you get called turds -_=

[Old Ape Face]

/heh thats horrible you get called turds -_=

^needs to watch Full Metal Jacket.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

^needs to watch Full Metal Jacket.

...joker, snowball, and gomer pyle.

[sailornyanko]

Don't really have any as a matter of fact. Maybe just survive in my demanding job I guess. Last year or two (don't remember) I told my aunt I'd eat more to stop looking so anorexic, but realized travelling to 3 different places on average each day (public transportation to boot) in a traffic ridden city with no time to eat and not much cash at hand to really buy a half decent meal was just not realistic. However since my job always invites me free food (albeit it's not gourmet I find most of what they serve to be rather decent), it's only a matter of organizing my time to go eat (we don't have defined lunch schedules, more like the cafeteria offers their food at specific times of the day and you go when you can...)

[Caster13]

/heh thats horrible you get called turds -_=

........turds? TURDS is a bad insult?:huh:

[sailornyanko]

Haha yeah, what a bag of pansies. You obviously haven't experienced the pecking order hierarchy in hospitals. I was once forced by a teacher to yell out I am an a-ss in front of a patient (but I took it with humor because he always treats his inferiors like that to annoy them as a sort of initiation ritual).

[dothacker5]

Mine is to learn Vector Art (Shepard Fairey's style to be exact), Photography, Final Cut, Aperture, and maybe Logic just for fun.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... whoa. what hospital is this? some kind of Patch Admas hospital?

[sailornyanko]

... whoa. what hospital is this? some kind of Patch Admas hospital?

Ummm.. I've only seen a few minutes of that movie (for some reason I just didn't like that film). It's actually one of the most important hospitals in the country, and for being public it's really pretty looking (it's also insanely huge, so big that they even host anime conventions there, it's the coolest hospital evar!!). I love the architecture, it even has a Diego Rivera mural in one of the buildings. 95% of the teachers there are cool dudes that are sugar canes, it's always that 5% that treat you like crap because they can that you'll always remember. That teacher made me suffer so much, but out of the classroom he was a really cool guy, the kind of person to get drunk at a bar with. Sadly he stopped teaching because he moved to France, what a shame.

[Old Ape Face]

...joker, snowball, and gomer pyle.

there was one part of that movie I will never forget, and will thus give me a fear of boot camp for as long as I live.


Actually all of it is worth turning me off from the military.

And yet, I want to know what would happen if I said "Sir Yes Sir" every time he asked me some ridiculous homo question. Out of pure mind tricking of cource never serious.

Do you work for Dr Cox?

[fujyoshi]

........turds? TURDS is a bad insult?:huh:

well thats basicly like calling you pieces of crap so I assume that would be an insult coming from a school teacher

[ZSYigadar]

I've never made a New Year's Resolution.

If people want to do something then they'll just do it. If you didn't do it before this New Year's, you aren't going to do it after. At least, not because of any resolution.

I resolve to spend less time reading text on a Computer monitor, and more time in a bar looking for a girlfriend :| becuase ya know, everyone around here tells me that's the best place to look around here.

While looking for a girlfriend in a bar is quite often a bad decision, considering the content of your posts and the type of lifestyle they portray, in your case I'd suggest making an exception.

You'll probably have to wait until they're absolutely plowed before you approach them though...

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Or get a lot of money, if you're going to the right bars :elvis:

YEah Prons condones prostitution lets go guys, Thailand, 5 dollars, 5 women!

[superplough]

You'll probably have to wait until they're absolutely plowed before you approach them though...

Ploughed huh? Why would he want girls after I'm done with them? :P

[ZSYigadar]

Ploughed huh? Why would he want girls after I'm done with them? :P

Because then their expectations are lowered beyond anything an even slightly functioning human being could manage?

[The Million Dollar Prons]

I think you both are forgetting, if there's a drunk woman with low self esteem involved you guys have to wait until I'm done.

and then I'tll be like having sex with a bucket of melted cinnamon rolls becuase prons gets messy

[Old Ape Face]

Because then their expectations are lowered beyond anything an even slightly functioning human being could manage?

Slightly functioning? I don't need to make million dollar posts to function properly in real life you Jackass.

My dad's a beer truck driver and he can't write for ****, does that stop him from getting married and having me?

You're a blind insignificant prick for all I know.

[ZSYigadar]

Slightly functioning? I don't need to make million dollar posts to function properly in real life you Jackass.

I didn't say anything about your functionality though. But you have to admit, lowered expectations certainly can't hurt.

Also I'd have expected hostility from superplough, not you, who I was under the impression didn't care for the opposite sex?

Intriguing.

I care enough for it to not be any of your business.

A girlfreind is a very good investment around these economy stress times.

Your dad had me in exchange for a keg for my frat boy party.

I didn't even go to college but I invited the entire lacrosse team over and we decided it was time for NO SHIRT, NO SHOES, NO PANTS.

That was more or less a joke actually, I would never want to find some drunk chick at a bar that has no idea what she's doing. I want someone I can talk to and relate and be passionate with, Drinking just makes people stupider.

oh look its prons bypassing the ten character limit

[Old Ape Face]

It's the internet. Anyone who's not joking is making a fool of themselves.

So what? I make a fool of myself all the time... Should I cruise in the fast lane with 4 wheel drive in the middle of a blizzard just becuase I can regardless of the ricks that I might flip over and die?

Now that is makeing a fool of myself.

[Leader Desslock]

^ He was agreeing with you, Yukimura, albeit in a way that could quite easily be perceived as disagreeable.

Let it go, and don't rush in where angels fear to tread, lest their halos be bashed in by the clubs of trolls.

Mmmm I would like to Resolve to teaching New England Drivers how to drive safely in New England.

Impossible! :P

My mom can actually drive pretty good. She patrols around in her Jeep in snowstorms, laughing at the neighbor who thought buying that Civic was a good idea in June.

(and yes, whenever you're in a Jeep, you don't drive, you patrol) :naughty:

Today me and my dad drove up to Vermont, and wouldn't you know we probably passed about 10 pile ups on the highway and one truck was literally upside down in the medium. and from what we saw the cab was crushed.

What really surprises me is, it's people who've lived here their entire lives who just don't seem to take snow on the highway too seriously. Just becuase you have 4 wheel drive doesn't mean you can stop going that fast.

Really I've already experienced a fatal accident in my town, it happened to a kid I graduated with and grew up with mostly. He was only going 40 on a back road, and slammed into a tree. I can't be any more serious about the weather here. It can be fun but it can also be deadly.

[sumwhatkrazy]

Hmmm, no binge drinking(still drink regulary but not that stupid bingeing that makes you act crazy and suffer horribley the next day).
Try and improve fitness.
Hmm, maybe improve employment and stop renting....
Stop posting on forums..

[Spadesy]

Haven't drank or smoked for 10 days. That's no big deal as far as drinking goes, but it's a new record for the 3 years of smoking. :lol:

[taily]

Get fit ;)
