My Resolutions for 2009
Normally New Year’s Resolutions is not something I do. However I could really use a post on this neglected site, so here goes.
Family: This is one area I feel pretty good about myself. I spend a lot of time with my girls. If anything maybe I will try and spend more time doing more physical activities with them like just playing in the yard or bicycling like we used to do. Mostly I need to try and “date” my wife more. We are both home-bodies who enjoy spending time with our kids, but we do need to go out more just the two of us.
Read My Bible More: This is something that I really need to do and neglect more than anything else in my life. I always have good intentions but… I have been reading it more, but admit some of that was due to some arguements with an old friend of mine about certain scriptures. I don’t enjoy arguing but did enjoy my research and I learned a lot.
Lose Weight: Duh! This is pretty standard resolution stuff, but sometimes you have to go with the classics. The problems is food just tastes so darn good! I guess about all I can really commit to is maybe trying to eat better food.
Work: Improve my work attitude. This one is something, unlike the one above, I actually plan on doing. It is too easy in my job to forget it is actually a ministry. Between me being impatient with my users, and my users creating new and unique ways to break their computers it is easy to get caught up in frustrations. I plan on being more patient and nurturing in the coming year. On the same note I also plan on spending more time with our users just getting to know them again. Expand my IT skills. Network more with other church IT professionals.
Post more often on this site: This one may be the toughest. Seeing as it is already the 6th and I’m posting for the first time this year. Plus the fact that this is my resolutions post and it is a bit late.
My Cartoon Site: My main goal on www.dontfeedthegeek.com is to finally get on a schedule of posting. My current goal is to post a new cartoon every Tuesday and Thursday. You may not be able to tell from the quality of my work, but each of the toons take me a bit of time. Sometimes it is real work for me to complete one. I also want to improve my quality of work and implement more professional techniques. I really enjoy doing the toons, I just want to do them to the best of my ability. I also want to start a new cartoon that will be more story driven. It will be more of a project at first and my kids will have some involvement.
Get a Hair Cut: This is something I did not do all last year, believe it or not. My hair is nearly long enough to donate to Locks of Love now. Just a few more months to go. I really like having long hair, but it is a lot of work. I look forward to having short hair for a while.
General: Be less critical. Learn more. Watch less TV. Read more. Improve myself. Get my CHL. Recycle more, but reduce even more. Call my parents more.
Anyways, happy new years to you all! I hope 2009 is the best year you ever had, until the next year rolls around.
