Resolutions 2010

Yeah I know, it's late. But I wrote up the physical list weeks ago (I even posted my social resolutions elsewhere). Here it is:

• Find a job - pretty self-explanatory. Being unemployed blows.
  
• Lose 25 more pounds - I lost 25 last year on the South Beach diet that was so successful for my youngest brother (he lost 60 in a year) after I tipped the scales at 265. I slowly gained ten of them back (where I currently sit at 250 lbs with a 38" waist), and want to get back down to a 36" waist at the very least by the end of this year.
  
• Average one new place for a beer or coffee per week - Local businesses are very important to a strong economy.
  
• See ten live shows - One down, nine to go!
  
• Perform live with my guitar (open mike/busking) - I need to become more proficient, and get my practicing schedule back to where it was when I took that class last fall. This is the biggest challenge on the list, in my opinion.
  
• Produce a music festival - The ball is rolling...
  
• Finish my childrens’ book - Editing and illustrations need to be completed.
  
• Visit ten states - New England should be easy, with 5 states less than 2 hours away in any given direction (New York too).
  
• Learn how to sing - I can't just perform instrumentals! Well I can, but I don't want to.
  
• Learn a foreign language (most likely Spanish) - Lowest priority for this year, but a goal for the near future...
  
• Use my passport - Somewhere besides Canada, but I would like to see Toronto or Montreal too!
  
• Visit Nantucket, Martha‘s Vineyard, and a 3rd island - Just because!

In between all of these lofty goals I continue to work out 3 times a week and eat smart, draw whenever the impulse grabs me, blog a few times each week, and practice my guitar.
