RkyMtnHigh 0 #27 January 1, 2009 2009 is already off to a much better start for me. 2008 is a distant blurrr. *whew!* So, how am I going to improve my life in 2009?...Just "Keep on Truckin'" and I mean that in more ways than one. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 558 #32 January 2, 2009 QuoteI'm done drinking after seeing how much of an ass someone can possibly make of themselves. I decided that I do not want to be that person. This is not a new years resolution but an epiphany after watching others. No, epiphany is an actual word, not just a name black people give their kids. ......................................................................... Quitter!

taylor.freefall 0 #34 January 2, 2009 Quote Well, the first thing I'm going to do is become a rigger - starting Saturday, I'm attending our 9-day senior rigger's course! I've been told I'm about to have my ass handed to me - sounds like fun. Then I'll tackle becoming a non-smoker; I'm getting really sick of those little cancerous bastards. That was my last years resolution too. I managed to do it (although it was hard). This years is trying to lose the weight I put on as a result Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RevJim 0 #36 January 2, 2009 The bankruptcy that was started last year will be final in January. The divorce will be filed very soon afterward. All 3 of my girlfriend's kids already call me dad, so when HER divorce is final, life will be soooo much better. The more I look back, the more I realize my life is far from bad. That doesn't mean I was happy. Far from it in fact. People have told me how much I've changed in the last 9 months. (It's been 9 months since I was in a horrific accident while driving my semi). I was thinking they had a screw loose. Now I realize that I'm a different person than I was then. Not really "changed" per-se, but different. A few quotes i've found to describe the "newer" me: "I am who I am, Your approval isn't needed." "Many people have told me that I've changed, but the truth is I think I've just found myself." "Be who you want to be, not what others want to see." "There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard you forget the bad and focus soley on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy." And one of my favorites: "It's my life. Talk all of your shit as if I give a fuck." So, even though I KNOW 2009 will rate among the best years of my life, it took 2008 (and before) to make 2009 great. Here's to all of you finding what it takes to make the rest of your lives EXACTLY what you want. It's your life, live it!

skybytch 258 #45 January 2, 2009 QuoteYou would be amazed at how much a "useless" BA in history impresses border guards and prospective employers. The BA will be useful. Unfortunately, doing the next two years of school to get there is looking like it's going to be difficult. When people with decent credit aren't getting student loans, those of us without decent credit can expect to get fucked. I'm sure the franchise owners will appreciate the fact that I have an AA in History when I go apply for some kind of job that will allow me to save up 2 years worth of college tuition.

bluepill 0 #48 January 6, 2009 One of mine was to be 'more happy' and 'cheerful'. To smile more and engage people with warmth. I have been working hard on this as well and it was great until this morning. My smiling and warmth has landed me in trouble with a girl who works in the office. I was just being nice to everyone, but have bumped into and been nice to her twice since yesterday. Her husband 'caught' me smiling and being nice to her today and did not seem to impressed. On top of that a colleague of mine has just told me something about the husband..."he knows kung fu" Jeez, all this trouble over a poxy smile.
