I sat here typing up a list for a few minutes trying to figure out what to make of ’09 resolutions, and basically all I was trying to say was that I want to take what I’m doing now and make it better…and to get in shape…yea…I want to get in shape too…
My last years resolution was to actually learn and progress from my mistakes, instead of making the same mistakes several times. It came out of a desire to change the way I was treating certain people in my life, and how I was treating myself. Honestly I plan to continue doing this, as learning is much more engaging than simply mucking up everything for anyone who happens to pass your path. I also took one from a friend last year, which was to be more appreciative of those who affect you. And this proved to help tremendously throughout the year, and is another I will always continue to do as long as I am appreciative of the things that are affecting me.
I actually had a really fun 08, met a lot of great people, some who are now part of my life entirely, and I continued to practice my hobbies and help in my job in the only ways that they’ll let me. So all in all it was a pretty great year, besides the whole economy thing, but I don’t own any stocks and have no debts outstanding, so I never really felt the pressure from that.
2009 should be another interesting year of changes and progression, our lease ends in May, and our new home will need to be finalized, but optimism is surprisingly high, even from me.
So what’s my list of resolutions look like?
- Learn from life
- Appreciate your surroundings
- Get in shape (I mean it this year! ya!)
- Update scohoe consistently
I’m serious about that last one, I’ll do it this year, it feels different this year, like I actually am going to mean it. This site has been a work in progress for well over 4 years now, and maybe I should just start utilizing it instead of changing the theme again. Well, hope everyone else has a fine ’09, coming off of a great ’08…. hah.

I like your list of resolutions, Scott. They are good goals to achieve and you’re halfway there by identifying them.
PS stop what you are doing and do 30 sit-ups. immediately.
