New Year's Resolutions (2009)

Posted on December 29, 2008 at 11:11 PM.

I usually don't believe in making New Year Resolutions, but this coming year I am hoping to make some major changes in my life.

So, I thought it would be a really cool idea for me to use my OS Arena Blog to make a record of my desired changes/resolutions and then come back at various points throughout 2009 and see how I am doing.

Then at the end of 2009 I'll re-visit this and see how many of the things that I set out to accomplish, actually got done. So let's get started ...

1) Change my job/Start a career for myself. - I'm 27 years old and treading water. I am at a job, not working on a career. Furthermore I hate my job 99% of the time. I can't make enough money to move my life forward in my current situation which leads into my next resolution ...

2) Save more money. - I can be a frivolous spender at times. I buy entirely too much "stuff" just so I can say that I have it. I am more of a collector at this point when it comes to buying stuff than I am anything else. This also ties into my next goal ...

3) Spend less money of gaming. - I buy too many video games at full price and don't end up getting nearly my monies worth. Hell, I still have several games in my backlog that are still unplayed or even unopened.

4. Spend more time with those that are most important to me - family and friends. - Just what it says, spend more time and appreciate that time, with my family and my good friends. I've started this one already, but I need to commit to following through from here on out.

Those are some good resolutions especially the last 2. I have bought games they I ended up never playing just to trade them in later on. I have been doing a better job of waiting till games go down in price or waiting until they are used and taking advantage of EB's buy 2 get 1 free deals.

That last resolution is a biggy. My dad currently has cancer and he nor I know how much time he has left. The days and times we spend together mean so much. I know when it is my dad's time to go I will have a very difficult time with it.

Best of luck with all those resolutions hope you find a better job, save money and make the most of the time you spend with friends and family.

Happy New Year.
