I Am Jacks Wasted Life

Wow. I can hardly believe it’s 2005. I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions but while debating whether or not to make any I certainly came up with quite a list of goals so I guess I’ll share…

• Exercise More

I have been gaining a little bit in the midsection and it does not please me. I don’t know whether to blame stress or being less active or getting old but I’m not gonna take it anymore!

• Read the remainder of the Dark Tower Series before the next Harry Potter book is released

I’m a huge fan of the Dark Tower series and can’t believe that I haven’t finished them by now. (I did start re-reading the series when the revised edition of Gunslinger came out…)

• Get Braces

I’ve had dental issues since I was a wee-un. This will be the year that is remedied.

• Get an Insulin Pump

I’ve been "managing" my diabetes via insulin injections since I was diagnosed with Type 1 about eight years ago. Pumps today are practically an artificial pancreas. I just have to wear it on my belt. And change its batteries.

• Get my Network+, MCSA, & CCNA

That’s five tests. However, it’s all stuff I should really already know. Unfortunately, I’m the kind of person who feels the need to way over study.

• Be ready to move on 01-01-06

Raven & I have been considering relocating for some time. Unfortunately, there have been obstacles. The academic hurdle has been overcome. That leaves the financial and the general state of repairs of our condo. We may not be ready to pack our bags next January, but at the very least, I want to be able to.

• Reach 200 Posts by 01-01-06

Coincidentally, this is my 100th post. That doesn’t sound bad, except that I’ve been "blogging" for over 2 years! My goal is not to post every day, but to have more of a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. That still puts me at an ideal of ~150 posts a year.

So I guess I’ve got some work to do…
