I’m picking up some stories.
2008 was the year of my first successful cut, my first time breaking through strength plateaus, first time paying taxes (making enough TO pay taxes as well), and the year I said goodbye to my first business.
All of which is good, but none of which is stuff you can tell around the campfire.
2009 I want to pick up some stories. Travel the world. Meet new people. Make mistakes and learn from them. That sort of thing.
Got my plan worked out and everything.

I agree. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing now.
SSC, I think it’s fantastic that you used your NYE resolution as a jump-off point for such positive change, truly. But my belief is that my “handle things as they come up” philosophy will prevent me ever having to lose 12 pants sizes.
Why wait until tomorrow or next week or Jan. 1st to be nicer to people, eat better, exercise more? Most of the time it’s justification for not doing it today.
My New Years resolution is to stop procrastinating in 2010.
I would call that being proactive.

While it’s true that hard work pays off eventually, it’s worth pointing out that sloth pays off RIGHT NOW!
And that is why NYE are awesome.

LOL.
I was waiting for a wise-assed remark I could snap off to some of my ridiculous friends.
I’ll probably use this one. Verbatim.
Thanks, hungry.

Don’t bother. Better men than you have tried.
What you really need to do is bench more.

The funny thing is, I’m the opposite, I have enough stories of my middle and highschool antics to last a lifetime. I need to accomplish shit now.

Muscle Milk!!!
I get my fill of resolutions at the gym between January and February.
Having said that, mine is to not hurt myself. Good luck!
405 Bench (40 more to go fuck)
550 squats w/ wraps+belt
Diet down in summer with said numbers, enjoy summer in Croatia. And I guess try harder in school.
Music:
learn to site read music faster,get more jazz soloing vocabulary, improve my ear
Bodybuilding:
Bulk up past 200 lbs…eventually get my arms up to 18 inches and chest to between 45-50 inches

Some of us managed to successfully mispend our youth.
I just wasted mine.
So I’m trying to make up for that at an age where I actually have to pay for the consequences. You have no idea how awesome it is being a minor.

Silverblood-
I haven’t had a drink in >6 years, but if memory serves, “Arrogant Bastard Ale” was a good one (found at Total Wine as well).
my resolutions are the same as my everyday goals.
but specifically for 2009:
join a fed. and compete.
set PRs at succesive meets.
For me, I’m starting with the new year simply because between work and festivities, it’s difficult to get quality workout/diet time in. Everyone is shoving shit in the faces of everyone. So, with the holidays over and the work firesale over with, things will slow down enough for me to stick with it. That, and I will be training for the Bataan Memorial Death March.

/edit: I’m listening to my neighbor hack up a lung right now. He must be outdoors, but through cinderlock & double pane glass I can hear him.
