Big Big Question is a Josh Millard project.
I’m going to go to India. Enough fucking about, this time I really mean it.
I’ve got two:
- build a house (or at least make a damned good start at it)
- lose weight
I suspect each will help the other.
3 things:
1. Get my own place.
2. Organize my crap.
3. Learn to be an adult.
Spend less time thinking and more time doing. [Mental note: see if Nike will pay me to walk around with a temporary tatoo of their logo on my forehead]
Incidentally, Meatbomb, I have a friend who just got back from India and now he’s thinking about retiring there because it’s so cheap.
Increase the percentage of my travel which is for fun, instead of solely for work.
Remember to post in BBQ?
1. take a fucking vacation that is not a work vacation (pineapple-like, I see)
2. more books, less movies
3. be more awesome
4. be a decent if not awesome daughter to my sick mom
5. date?
6.

I’m pretty much irresolute as a rule, but now is as good a time as any to make a more concerted effort to eliminate high-fructose corn syrup and eggs.
From my diet, not from the world. This is more an issue of self-preservation than self-improvement, though.
I’m right there with you on the HFCS, FelliniBlank. That’s kinda sorta my resolution as well. As soon as I finish all the cold delicious Dr. Peppers in the fridge.
I’m also going to get a comprehensive physical and finally get that dental work done that I’ve been putting off. *shudder*
And I’m resolved not to let my family obligations and propensity for agoraphobic isolation drive me fucking insane.
Obtain and hold a full-time job in my field.
Propose to my girlfriend.
Live boldly and walk in the shining path of righteousness.
Actually meet up with Meatbomb if he shows up in Chicago again.
Stop drinking soda.
Pack my damned laptop bag the night before work. I’m sick of missing my bus because I’m gathering all of the shit that’s scattered through my apartment from hither to yon.
Throw away all the size 14s and 16s. No more yo-yoing.
Move to Ventura, CA for teh lulz.
Drink less, trip more.
Buy a house.
Either get into a MA program or get started on my credential.
Learn to SCUBA.
Take flying lessons from my Stepdad.
Finish crafting projects. (oh, about a dozen of them)
Buy a musical instrument, or several.
Actually figure out what I’m supposed to do when I grow up, if it ain’t what I’m doing, now.
Learn to play the fiddle or ukelele or both.
Lose 40 pounds of personal weight.
Cut back on procrastinating.
