Most people make resolutions to themselves on new years day. I do it about once a week, and usually carry around a notepad or PDA to remind myself why I’m doing whatever I’m doing. There has got to be some sort of payoff or endgame to everything I commit myself to. So with that said, 09′ is my bounce back year. I’d like to at the very least achieve some of the little things I’ve already done all over again, like buy a another house and fill up the driveway. I’d also like to take my kids on a little trip around the world to show them what they’re missing out on and to hopefully expand their minds a bit.
So with that little rant said, I’m going to start randomly posting my goals, dreams, wishes, and happy stuff in this category. Lets see where to begin….
