I didn't lose all of the weight, just some... didn't make the strength goals, only partway there, and I only set one TG world record.

1. Quit smoking... again. (man this sucks)
2. Finish the House Remodel
3. Finish my Jukebox
4. Finish my Bar in the basement (90% done)
5. Get my wife a better job so I can be a stay at home husband, cause I don't really like working all that much. (I think we should still get summers off)

and that's it. and about 2 or 3 of them will happen, unfortunately 5 is not one of them.

I stopped making resolutions many years ago.  I am generally disappointing enough to not have to add more failed goals at the end of each year.

I didnt' make any resolutions last year, so I guess technically.. I didn't fail any of my resolutions.

I think i'll stick with the same plan this year

I resolve to not make any more resolutions.


Well, via the space-time hole I tore with that one, I was able to travel back and position myself under that grate that blew Marilyn Monroe's dress all over the place.  I wanna try that again, but I'd have to break THAT resolution in order to make the resolution to....somehow this isn't gonna end up good, I can see that right now.

Maybe it would go better with a flux capacitor and a delaurien?

I'm terrible with that crap.  Plus, I often wonder with the flux capacitor whether I've done it right or if I'll have to desolder.  Who even knows if they'll have the same kind of flux in the past or if I'll be screwed.  Do a writeup on this for us.  Chad's already said he sucks at this
