Another apocalypse prediction has failed and life goes on as usual. I'll admit I was disappointed I didn't get to watch the world burn. I'm going to try to get my life together starting next year. I will be continuing the goals I set for myself in previous blogs as well as adding new projects to keep me busy and my thoughts in the present.

One goal I have for myself next year is to be far along enough in my bass playing abilities to start practicing songs. I think this will be a reasonable goal because my figures are starting to show signs of cooperation.

I will also be motivating myself to be more physically active as I would like to get back into shape. This will be a challenge for me because I tend to go in spurts of being active and then reverting back to my sedate life style. In addition to being more active, I would like to turn my diet around. I made a tiny step last night when I cooked a pound of bacon and didn't eat the whole pound. Now that takes a lot of will power to resist all that artery clogging goodness.

I'm going to start getting serious about school. I may not like the idea of formal "education" at all, but it is the only thing that seems to be recognized as much as this frustrates me. I am currently enrolled for the spring semester with Exposition and Persuasion and Intro to Ethics. I am hoping that these classes will be as enjoyable for me as the Intro to Philosophy class was. I do know that the instructor who taught my Philosophy 101 class will be teaching my ethics class so I am looking forward to that.

I would also like to organize an I-Power new year's celebration because my parents are going to be doing their own thing and want me to do something on my own. I might as well bring in the new year with all of you!
