A new year is always something to look forward to.

It feels weird knowing that another year has gone by already.....to me it seems that time goes by so quickly, then again time is relative so it's different for other people....sigh.....well for this year I just want to keep getting good grades, have fun, and just enjoy the rest of sophmore year and the beginning of junior year....yikes!!! thats scarry to think about...being a junior. Then it's only two years now till we graduate D: thats really weird.....I remember being in middle school and feeling older now i feel almost jeriatric lol well not really but i feel older. The nice thing about being older is people don't treat you like a child all of the time, but then again sometimes I don't like being more adult. Well one nice thing about it is that people don't get picked on as much as they use to, I mean I was friends with people who got picked on to no end and it's nice to see that now they don't have to worry about it as much, they can just be themselves. Because there is always some where for someone to be in highschool that fits them best. Anyways sorry for rambling. The new year will be good....I hope.

Only 2 More Years! And Then We Start All Over....

Wow, I'm sort of glad that it's a new year. I'm ready for a change, and a way to have a sort of marker in my life. I have alot of New Years resolutions, one's that are a little odd, but totally make sense at my point in life. I decided to see how long I can go without sugar, and that kind of goes hand in hand with getting in shape. (If you want a better explanation, ask me in person.) I want to be better at saying goodbye, and also telling people that I love them alot more often. I want to get a better control over myself. I'm pretty sure that someone's said, "When you conquer yourself, you can conquer nations" I want to be happier as a person, and with myself. I have really bad self esteem issues, and so I'm going to work on that. I want to fix some rifts with some people, and get things sorted out, and I want to be more honest. I think that's about it. Alot of my resolutions are really personal ones, like trying to find yourself. I really believe in the idea that you can't help others, until you've got yourself sorted out, so I guess I'm going to make myself better.

The changes 2012 will bring..

New years eve 2008, I was at my friend Ashleys house, in North Carolina. I remember Thinking about what my life would be like a year from then. I never imagined I would be back in Oregon at the end of 2009. My life has completly changed in the course of one year. 2009 was by far the worst year of my life, but then twards the end, it became better. So by the time 2010 came along, my life was back on the track it was supposed to be. So I have started this New Year off in a good way, and Ive decided to keep it that way. So...My New Years resolution has been to be more open minded. Ive learned that anything can and will happen. Absolutly anything is possible.

Don't wanna work in the building downtown

Parkin' the cars in the underground

So, here's my goal this year. My resolution. Or whatever. Are those the same thing? I guess you could say my goal to resolve (resolution, resol?). Go for everything. I'm tired of looking at the consequences of things over the positives, i.e. performing music in public. The fear of judgment, I want to overcome, because the few people that DO appreciate me are the people that I should care about, can't please everyone, right? Right. And another thing is not being afraid to speak my mind, I withhold a lot of opinions and things people should probably know about me because I'm afraid if they do they'll hate me, but if they hate me for me then why do I even try to please them?

Which goes back to the judgment thing and to wrap this up, my problem I'd like to resolve this year is being afraid of everyone else. It's gotta stop.

It's a New Year, another chance to get things right

i always make new years resolutions but i'm not that good at keeping them they just slip right out the door,. But this year I am going to try for change because i dont like things and I believe that if you dont like something then you should change it. Anyway a few my new year's resolutions are, I want to finish my self editing my book and get it peer read and edited then find someone to help me get it published, I am going to make sure this year I put a lot of time into my book. I also am going to start reading a lot more like i used too, on average I used to read a book in 1-2 days now it usually takes me like a month cuase i just dont think about it, and I miss my reading so i am going to read more. i also want to work on finishing my other stories and work on turning them into books as well, I have many starters and want to get them going. I have decided that I am going to stop eating junk food, because it is pointless and in the end you feel sick after eating it. I am going to get a job after my 16th birthday, and volunteer a lot at the asisted living facility where i do volunteer work. Get enrolled in online college classes in the summer, and narrow down my choices of where i want to go to school. Lastly, i want to get over being so shy and quiet, I am a better speaker through written words, than spoken words so I am quiet, I want to make more friends and not feel so distant from people. I know I have a lot to accomplish but i will do it all because one I love a challenge and two this year i am going to work hard and not just talk the talk i am going to walk the walk.

First Topic of the New Year! (Topic #13)

Seems obvious, doesn't it?

What are your New Year's Resolutions?

How would you like this year to be different from last year?  What will you do to make this year different from last year?


Here's my position on New Year's resolutions.

Even though I'm generally against New Year's resolutions, I do feel that the change in year number is appropriate for some changes; in my case, I want to be better about keeping up my own personal blog.  I plan to post to it every two to three days, no less, all year long.  (It's appropriate, by the way, because the blog archive starts a new category on January 1, so there is a genuine dermarcation in this case.  Check the link if you want to make sense of that.)  I swear to finish my second book sometime this year.  I swear I will read no fewer than 78 books this year.  Hopefully more, but definitely no less.  I don't care if I lose weight, though I'd love to get in better shape; but if I do gain weight, it will just mean I ate well, so that's just peachy with me.


What will you change in 2010?

Happy Solstice, Tony.

Do people like this better?  I can try a few different things . . .
Give me some input, here.
