This seems to be as good a forum as any to broadcast my New Year's resolutions. So here it goes.
1. Read, either a book (kindle) or online, one hour for every hour spent watching TV
2. Work out at least 5 days each week. (Target weight by april of 185.
3. Join a club or group in the City (am thinking the Lincoln Park Rugby club, but will have to see with my work schedule)
4. Make a decision on Law School v. Career by April, 1
5. Keep both blogs active and current.
#1 & #2 are by far the most important to me. #2 is pretty common, so that doesn't need much explaining. But #1 I think is a little unique. I like TV and I watch a lot of it. There are definitely shows that I like and I don't think there is anything wrong with watching those. But often times I find myself turning the TV on to find something to watch, basically just killing time. A lot of this habit I think got started by being on the road, where after work you ate, maybe worked out and the pretty much just zoned out on the TV. Well I'm hoping to change that. Reading is an awesome activity. It's entertaining, it exposes you to new thoughts and ideas, and it can inspire, hopefully by fulfilling #1 it will also lead to the natural fulfillment of #5 as well.
A lot of these resolutions stemmed from the time off that I have had recently. I have tried to live by these rules for the past couple weeks and it has served me very well. I have great feelings about 2009 and hopefully these 5 resolutions can be part of it.
Happy New Year everyone!!
