Resolute-toot
Ok, miss me? I’m most definitely back. So, this years resolutions are half and half on the shallow side. The shallow first.
1) I’ve decided I wanna really lean up. My bulk has reached a point where I’m consistently about the same. I’m pushing the weight I wanna be pushing so now is the time to focus on the tough part. Having a fast metabolism, I’ve never had to fight to be fit however, leanness has always been tough for me. Lets face it, I love to eat. Not fast food so much as rich food. My first resolution is to cut back on all the rich food and focus more on a well-rounded healthy diet.
2) I want at least 2 maybe 3 more tattoos. One on the back each forearm and I’ve yet to decide on the rest.
3) Teeth: I had to put off braces for my teeth as I switched dental providers last year. Little did I know the new company has a 6 month waiting period. Fuckers! Anyway, the 6 months is up and I need to get braces. I had toyed with the idea of getting veneers but I’ve discarded that idea for just getting my natural teeth straightened. Thankfully, I am an invisilign candidate. Expensive but worth it.
The not so shallow
4) The debt is under control but I’d like to polish off 2 more credit cards.
5) I’m struggling with my paramedic training. All the programs so far won’t work with my work schedule. I’ve had to broaden the search to more expensive colleges in the area. I’m hoping I can find one that offers modules vs a continuous program. I’m more than a little disappointed however, it is what it is.
That is is. Not so bad overall. I think all of my goals are doable. Lets hope my will power and determination holds out.
And what about you? What are your resolutions? Haven’t made any? Tsk, tsk.

My resolution is to win a tennis championship in 2008! Stay out of debt. Don’t use those plastic enslavement devices we call “credit cards”. If I don’t have the money for it, then don’t think about charging it.
Depressed? I hate to hear of buddies struggling. I’m in San Jose THREE times this week…..too bad you’re not just a little closer. Email me if you decide you want a road trip for dinner with me. Braces…ahh, yes. I remember the screwing , the cranking, the tightening. Good for you! You’ll love it when you’re done. And I don’t envy, but am envious, of your resolution to get the Paramedic training done. You know, I was a volunteer EMT many years ago in a pretty good sized ER/trauma center. Absolutely fucking loved those times. Be good to yourself. Take great care of YOU.
I think all of your resolutions are great…not shallow at all. What is shallow about bettering yourself?
I’ve been dieting and have lost 3 or 4 pounds so far. I’m aiming for 199 (I’m at 208 or so).
Spending money on yourself, such as braces, is an investment. I certainly am glad I had it done while I was in college.
I’ve always wanted to faux marble my legs. That would be my ultimate tatoo
My resolution is to make a concrete decision affecting the direction of my life and to stick to it!
Braces = Marsha Brady
Just stay focused on your serious resolution/especially the paramedic goal. You’ll get there, I know it.
As for me… two resolutions…to get my design business partnership off the ground with a roar and to somehow find my way out to Chicago on a more permanent basis. (I ain’t ’splainin) *eg*
Good luck with your resolutions!
I’ve knocked off 40 lbs. so far and would like to knock off a few more. Also knock off some debt.
Too bad you’re not out here in Tucson - Pima College offers a paramedic degree. Dunno if it’s what you’re looking for but there it is! ASU also offers a BAS degree in Emergency Medical Management as well.
Congrats with the resolutions and your work on them. I have been doing ok with mine– except the weight loss thing. I need serious help there. I do best when I have a tangible goal (like a leather event or a trip) and I don’t have either on the near horizon.
