    Default New Years Resolution

    OK

    it's nearly that time of the year again, so what have we decided the next New Years Resolution will be??????????:confused:

    Me, I'm going to try to swim 2000 meters non-stop!! 80 laps of the pool. TRUE :eek:

    YEAH RIGHT:eek: :eek: :eek: ( I do like swimming by the way, it fixes the sore back??)

    Been saying it for years......I get started and swim every day, do 10-15-20 laps of the pool, for a couple of weeks then the BRAIN thinks i'm going alright?:confused: :confused: I start to have a few days off here and there??

    Before long, I can't swim that distance anymore :mad: :mad: I think...if only I kept swimming I'd be able to swim???? (such and such a distance??)....I lose interest, ( well crack the $hits really) and BIN the whole exersize??

    So for the umteenth time, Im starting again



    Whats yours??

    As far a next year goes,

    If I can complete as many interesting tools/projects as I did this year
    Improve my knowledge base and skills as much as I did this year
    Only make as many mistakes as this year
    Get slightly more time in the shed as this year
    Don't injure myself
    And
    can keep having the odd drink or 3

    That will do me.

    This year I've decided not to make any resolutions until after Xmas so I can't give you one.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Solve World Poverty
    Find a cure for all diseases, genetic and otherwise
    Personally develop, grow in culture and implant a brain for Georgedubbya ( probably use nucular devices too )
    Deliver all mail on time, to the right address
    Singlehandedly wrestle the El NiNo and El Nina weather patterns into submission in the tag team match (almost) of the millenium.
    Then, on Tuesday, I'll finish my chest of drawers. Not sure about the rest of the year:confused:

    Merry Christmas all and I hope the New Year brings health, wealth, happiness and most of all peace to you and those you care for.

    Swim 2000m not a problem, do what I do, just think about it because IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

    So underused, what do you do in those dojos in Japan ?
