Topic: NWR New Years Resolutions for 2010

[BlackNMild2k1]

hmmm. Just seems a little light for someone your height.
But as long as it all distributes itself properly and you look healthy it's all good.

[Stratos]

I'm planning to pick up WiiFit Plus in January and track my progress. I want to get before and after shots of myself as well.

[Stogi]

are you a tooth pick?

I'm 5'10.5" and at my leanest(back in HS) was around 145lbs, and that was around 0% body fat.
Right now I probably weigh close to 230lbs and would love to slim it back down to 190lbs, all muscle.

I will finish P90X.

Just have a small frame I suppose.  I don't look malnourished, I just don't keep much weight on me.  A little after I turned 21 my weight seemed to redistribute itself in accordance with a typical adult male distribution, helping me look a little more muscular.

Ok so in a few days 2010 is going to be rolling around. I am wondering what everybody has for their resolution.....So what about you?

After last year's debacle (I blame Obama), I decided to make my resolution more realistic and less serious. At first I thought it would be funny if I could only dance below the waste, but then I thought about how impractical that would be at the world cup. So then I thought it might be hilarious if I were crazy superstitious, but that'd never work.

So I finally decided upon this:

My new years resolution is to follow up on any crazy idea that is brought up at least three times and talked about at length in one sitting.

[NWR_Lindy]

Close, but we don't plan on giving NWR any attention.

Nor would I expect it, since neither left on good terms.

1. Continue good grades at DigiPen.
2. Continue my weight loss, lost around 80 points, have around 30 to go.
3. Start lifting weight again.
4. Continue bike riding.
5. Hit on hawt girls.
6. Go to parties.
7. Make a **** ton of money
8. Keep this awesome avatar and signature.

Dude! You live really close to me if you go to DigiPen.

Maxi was talking about going there so he might want to talk to you about what to expect.

How long have you been attending classes there?

[Caterkiller]

1. Book at least 2 commercials! (not much I know, but when your neither here nor there(race wise) it's hard to fit into certain casting calls. 
2. Book at least one non commercial SAG speaking role!
3. Heal my right leg completely!
4. Earn my 2nd Degree black belt!
5. Get my super top secret script into pre-production!

Can I do it? Yes I can! Why? It's the year of the Tiger, and I was born in 86! Time for me to shine brighter than ever before!

Ya I have been attending DP for a year and a half. Right when my attendance here dropped.

Maxi, can come by DigiPen anytime, I'd be happy to give him a tour.

So are you doing the programming or art program? Most seem to do the programming one to my understanding.

I almost went there years ago but I burned out of school and ended up in a career path change.

[DAaaMan64]

Feeling burned out on school is a damn good reason not to go to DigiPen. I'm on the programming side

[Stratos]

My friend did the programming side for a year and a half and that was too much for him. Pretty crazy. I hope you go all the way.

[DAaaMan64]

lol I'm at the year at and half point. >.< oh noes! I'll do my best It is crazy though.

[Stratos]

I take it you are familiar with the 7-11 across the street? My friend told me it is the 3rd largest in the nation because of being next to DigiPen and they sell nearly anything there.

[DAaaMan64]

I heard it was a highest, but thats always hear say. Not surprising.

Actually, next year they are moving the school somewhere else and merging the programming and art campuses. Its gonna be awesome!

[Stratos]

Really? Where? Same city?

[ThePerm]

my new years resolution...shave more often..its bad when you look in the mirror and see this

[DAaaMan64]

Really? Where? Same city?

Yeah. Same city about 2 miles away. Its gonna be awesome.

FINALLY GIRLS ON CAMPUS

LOL, dating life at DigiPen...I know there's a good joke in there somewhere.

[stevey]

Damn art majors stealing all the hawt programming girls...

[GearBoxClock]

This year I want to burn the heretics and praise the Emperor more often

[Ian Sane]

My goal is to LOSE weight since I'm not "cursed" with the ability to eat whatever I want and stay thin like some poor unfortunate souls on this board.

Every year I run in the Vancouver Sun Run.  It's in April and the time frame works out really well since I start training in January and work off the Christmas pounds.  I then keep running until about November or so when the cold weather and constant rain kills my motivation (a huge problem with living in the Pacific Northwest).  By the time the run comes along I'm usually looking pretty lean and weigh around the 185 mark.  I'm 5'11 and currently 195 which isn't so hot.  If I could get down to 175 or so I'd probably look really good.  Anything below 170 and I'd probably start to look malnourished.  I have no idea what it's like to have such a skinny body.  My brother weighs like 165 and he's currently got a big gut going and is only an inch shorter than me.

I guess I just have a large frame because I've never been what anyone would describe as a fat guy but since puberty I've always weighed much more than one would ever assume from my appearance and height.

Other than that 2010 is the year I plan on entering the film I've been working on into the Vancouver Film Festival.  Not a resolution as much as just something I plan to do.  I would also like my band to do more gigs and start to gain a fanbase and such.  But that's not something I can completely control so I wouldn't consider it a resolution persay.  It's more of a "it would be nice".

You can try to hit on hawt girls using your awesome avatar/sig but i think you'll fail, miserably.

My resolutions? I didn't really have any until i read this thread. If i had to throw something out there i'd say:

1. Save more money
2. Lose some weight (lol cliche)
3. Get back into music
4. Find a new place to live

I've already been doing with #1, and i have the new job to thank for that.

#2 is going okay so far, not that i've been trying too hard. I've been eating better, and a little less, but I know i should start getting in shape and doing some more excercise. Having a desk job for two years put me really out of shape, ugh.

The one thing i really hope to accomplish is #3, because I feel like i've surpressed my creativity this past year. Musically, my taste is even more diverse and being open to so many different types of music.. i think i can create something great if i just give myself the time. I used to be a really good guitarist, now i barely play the thing.. but then again i've been expirimenting more with other instruments (like drums and keyboards) so maybe i can finally compose a full song and not some random guitar riffs/rythms.

Unfortunately, trying to accomplish #3 will mean accomplishing #4 first so i can have the space i need to stuff all my **** it. I have plenty of instruments but very little equipment, especially on the recording end. A mini studio plus a new house/apt aint cheap, so there goes #1...

Hm.. year of the tiger, eh? Color me motivated!

[Stogi]

s brought up at least three times and talked about at length in one sitting.

So ****....it's already happened. Though I've only told the 'rums what my new years resolution is, I was talked into a city wide prank....3 times as stated and well thought it. I'm excited, it should be a good time. If I'm not arrested, I'll post pics of my success.

Scratch that...even if I'm arrested, I'll post some pics.

[Stratos]

You could smuggle a phone into jail and send us pics that way.

[EasyCure]

Yes, pics of crims posted on the internet are always a good idea.

Can't wait to see 'em!
