Livejournal still exists?
New Year's Eve I didn't make a damn resolution. But a couple weeks later changed my mind. I registered for a class a HCC to get a Cisco certification. Since I paid for it myself, I'm much more inclined to see it through though it'll probably take most of the year to get my degree at this pace. There was some encouragement to get a gym membership at work with a corporate discount and I signed up for that as well. Although there's not a franchise near my house, theres one near work and also one on my way home from the previously mentioned Cisco class and I've been going there 3 times a week. These two things are pretty significant, actually putting an investment in my career/education and my health are things I've neglected to do at all in the past few years. Improving my consumption will have to be a part of this, but my intention is to just eat a little less and more healthy as opposed to any drastic diet.
I've also got to cut back on my Warcraft time, which is a challenge. I've let myself get involved in end-game raiding and also trying to maintain 4-5 characters at the same time. Although it's a social game, the acquaintances I've made around the world aren't particularly useful for me. I'm curious what my life would have been like the last few years if I'd not gotten stricken with this blight. I first started playing when a girlfriend's son brought it over, and perhaps I played it then to the extend she began to feel neglected and then she found another lover. So I played even more. And then my band became less active to the point of dissolving late last year. So I played even more. I actually signed up for my college class at times I thought would interfere least with my raiding schedule in game, as crazy as that may sound. Playing a little less as a result of not being able to play effectively in class (isn't that sad, I'm not saying that I CANT play in class.)
Ok. So to summarize.
taking class to get CCNA: check
joined a gym to get in better shape: check
Grass Skirts no longer exist: check
still play too much Warcraft: check
For a couple weeks we had another dog in the house, and I've grown to appreciate how smart Ginger really is as a result. I mean, sure I can knock on the wall and she'll think someone's at the door even if I do it right in front of her, but she's actually a pretty brainy little terrier.
