Weight Loss
I don't consider myself fat(screw you Ethan), but I am a bit soft and flabby. I want that to change in 09. More hockey, soccer, softball(hopefully). I have also started yoga and pilates. You know how I know I'm gay?? I hurt a lot after sports. I am hoping stretching helps negate a bit of that. Biggest hurdle is going to be what I eat. I like fatty foods. I like soda. I like booze. I like fast food. Of all the things I am going to do this will be the hardest for me. But I am serious this time around. 160-165lbs. by the big 3-0. Shit I am gonna be 30!
Reading
The people I respect most in life all read and read a lot. Something I have often found to be a nuisance throughout my life. But the only way you learn in life is to experience and read about experience. So that is what I am going to do. At least one book a month. Switching between something to teach and something for fun. First up One Up on Wall Street by Peter Lynch. Second up The Road by Cormic McCarthy.
Buy More Clothes
I hate buying clothes. I hate buying anything really for myself. Yet I will blow cash in Vegas like there is no tomorrow and not flinch. Go figure. I need/want to dress better. I am sure I am going to come up with some awful wardrobes but it is a process. I think I will hold off on this one until that weight I am losing is all the way off. Suggestions welcome.
Forgive
Us Kazarians aren't known for forgiving easily. We are loyal to a fault until you lie/betray/cross us in some way. The thing is, it takes a lot of energy to be pissed at someone all the time. It's exhausting! Sometimes I forget why I am even mad or hate someone. I have to rack my brain to remember why I hate the person I am having a conversation with or talking about. Screw it. I forgive you Alex for all your shady business at my expense. I forgive you Justin for "meeting the girl of your dreams" and leaving me. I forgive you Ethan for taking the rein of best fantasy sports person from me. I forgive you Leslie for getting knocked up and ruining boys club at Taylor's. I forgive you Taylor for forgetting the purpose of a condom. I forgive you Hope for making us sit at the worst blackjack table in the world.
Take more pictures
I don't take pictures. I talk about taking them. But rarely do I bring a camera or set up people for a picture. It always seems like such a hassle. Funny thing is I love looking at pictures other people take. Pictures make me smile and I know although I don't care now. When I am 40 and 50 I will want to look back at random times in my life and remember. So first step is done. I got a camera for xmas. Now I just have to make myself take my camera everywhere we go. This is probably the least likely resolution for me to follow through on.
Travel
I have found myself becoming more like my dad. Ken Jr. as my brother like to call me. He doesn't like to travel. Vegas and Golf related trips. That's it. I try to find ways why I shouldn't go somewhere or do something rather than the other way around. Strange thing is I always enjoy the trips I do take. I want to travel more. I want to visit friends, take random vacations. In this economy(thank you for this Justin) if you don't get away from things you will drive yourself nuts.
No Regrets/Take chances
I think at times in my life I haven't felt like I knew what the hell I was doing. Often looking back and regretting choices I made. I know people always say everything happens for a reason, but I always thought that was just something said to make people feel better about things not going their way. I am mentioning this last one because I feel like this is the one I truly will stick to the most. I have done a few things in the past few months that have just completely blown up in my face. Like atomic bomb type of explosion. I feel really good about things though, I regret things haven't worked out as I thought they would, but not that I took essentially the biggest leap of faith of my life. It felt good to feel if that makes sense. It's something I am going to continue to do and hope something that sticks with me for the rest of my life.

you use blogs and comments on blogs to tell each other how much you love and miss each other...get a room homos
30 is the new dead.
Also, coincidentally, the jumbled word thing here just happens to be 'fatie'.
Awesome.
I'm sorry for getting knocked up and ruining the boys club. But as a consolation prize, Taylor can play as much hockey as you guys want, as long as they are late night games. Because what does it matter to me? I'm asleep before the game starts (like welllll before) and asleep when he gets back. It's brilliant!
