I guess I have been slacking lately on my blog for which I apologize immensely to the three or four people who actually find my blog to be entertaining, unfortunately I am not one of those four or three people.
One of my many New Year Resolutions is to keep up on my blog. I really enjoyed writing it and I love the feedback that I was getting and it was a motivator to keep me informed on current events. More importantly it really helps to kill time while I work my graveyard shift. Now I have a new work schedule for next semester and I will be working three graveyard shifts. Does this mean three blog entries a week? Probably not and if so then don’t expect anything great from each blog entry. I kind of want to jump around on a number of topics today none that any of you will find that interesting but I don’t really care.
First Topic:
I guess my first topic will some of my New Year resolutions. I think putting them on my blog will actually be a very effective way to make sure that I keep them since I am publicly declaring them to my faithful readers and this way if I fail at achieving my New Year Resolution than instead of just me realizing that I am a weak, pathetic human who can’t accomplish anything in his life but everybody else will.
Here are a few of my goals worth discussing:

I think the majority of people set this goal every year and that is to lose weight.
I read something about how like 70% of new gym memberships occur in January and February because of people signing up to join a gym at the beginning of the year. I didn’t sign up I am continuing to rip off my brother’s Gold Gym membership. It is January 6th and I have actually been to the gym twice. Not too shabby I just wonder how long I can keep this up. I don’t want to do anything radical to lose weight like exercise for 2 hours a day at 5:00 am in the morning or go on some weird diet and eat cottage cheese and oatmeal for the whole year. I just think that I am going to cut back on a few things such as soda pop and eating out which will also save me a ton of money. I would like to throw in go to the gym and exercise I don’t think that is anything to radical and overwhelming so I am going to try and milk Trevor’s gym membership for as long as I can until he realizes that he doesn’t go to the gym anymore and cancel his membership and then I have no gym and that will effectively put a stop to me going.

I have a lot of the same old same old goals that everybody sets (see above) and I am sure every faithful churchgoer sets the goal to not miss church and yes that is one of my goals as well. Although I already will end up missing the first two weeks of church due to work and I will be honest with yak if my Eagles make the Super bowl I am most likely skipping church that day to savor the moment. Nothing like reading the Bible and learning about Jesus to take you out of your football groove. So I am not too confident that I am going to keep this goal but I am definitely going to attend church more than I have been.

I think it’s important to set financial goals and weight loss goals and goals that will improve your chances of going to heaven all admirable goals but I also think it is just as important to set goals that will just make you happy. For instance I don’t watch a lot of television, and when I say television I mean television shows, I watch a lot of sports. I know these sounds like the opposite of a goal because most people set goals to watch less television but I am setting the goal to watch more television. Specifically television shows that my wife and I will enjoy. I can watch ESPN all day long with no problem if I wanted to – goal accomplished. But let’s not beat around the bush on this one my wife and I love just staying home and watching television. The only thing is we can never agree on what to watch. Since she doesn’t want to watch ESPN all day long. Cable is included in my monthly rent so I might as well take advantage of that right and I sure can’t afford to go out and do something that would be more productive so staying at home plopped out on the couch watching television is the cheapest way to have fun. I also feel that I am out of a social loop. I have never seen Lost or Heroes or 24 and so my goal is to catch up on the previous seasons so I can look forward to watching the new episodes with my wife when they come on the television.
