Articulated Sky

For once, I actually want to do a 2008 retrospective post this time around. But unfortunately, as my blog has only been at its own domain since mid-december, I don’t really have enough blog or comment statistics to write a decent post about it. That said, I quickly realised that I hadn’t written a goals/predictions/resolutions post, well… ever. So I’d better get cracking.

• Finish World War Z – Heather got it for me back in April and I still haven’t finished it. I got about half way through in the space of a couple days then put it down and started reading other books.
• Finish Eve: The Empyrean Age – I read a couple pages of it while on holiday back in August and haven’t read any of it since.
• Buy more comics – Heather kind of unintentionally turned me into a minor comic book geek and now I’m determined to build up a collection, although I’d sure it’ll turn out to be quite a small one. Speaking of comics, anyone have any recommendations? The only one I’ve bought so far is issue 1 of the second series (already read the first series) of The Umbrella Academy.
• Quit smoking for good – While I haven’t had a cigarette for about two weeks and I feel fine, I’ve gone longer before and then started again just because I was bored.
  I’m a strange smoker. I never smoke when I’m alone at home and I never really feel the need to smoke. But if I’m waiting for something or someone for a while, I’ll sometimes have two or three in a row just out of boredom.
• Pay more attention to Heather when online - Heather suggested this one.
• Learn to play guitar – I’ve wanted to learn to play guitar for a while now and my brother doesn’t use his anymore so it’s the perfect opportunity. I’m one of those people that want to learn but don’t want to pay for lessons so I’ll have to try to teach myself.

And finally:

• Blog more – I have three-ish blogs scattered around the internet, but I only post semi-regularly in this one. So, I plan to post more in this one, and start posting again in my others.

That’s all for now. There are more but I don’t want to overload myself with goals because that’ll only make it more likely that I won’t achieve them.

Anyone else have any goals that they want to achieve by the end of this year?
