The First Mind Wandering of 2011

We are finally finish with the first of 52 weeks of 2011. Many people see the New Year as a time in which they have the opprotunity to change an aspect of themselves. I always make tentatives resolutions every new year that does not make it past the first week; this year I hope will be different. My number one resolution for 2011 is to get in shape. I have always hated the way I look and often find myself feeling out of place in a area which is full of in shape people. Every other time I try to loose weight I do not see the results which discourages me and eventually causes my to go back to the status quo. Well this year status quo is not good enough. Here in a couple weeks I am going to see a doctor about diet and excercise plans that would fit my lifestyle, schedule, and budget. I realize this year more than ever that it is not about how I look anymore, but about my health. This is going to be the year for a healthier and (hopefully) thinner Jason.

Resolution number two for 2011 is finding an aspect about myself, or an activity that would make me a better citizen or a better person. I believe there is always room for improvement, and I hope through some thought, I can find areas where I can improve, for example I am going to try to see the glass more as half full than half empty.

Resoultion number three for 2011 is more of a goal that Kyle, Ashley, and I share. By January first of 2012, we want to watch the movies that we have not seen in the American Film Institutes' (AFI) Top 100 Movies of all time. We have already tackled this feat head on. At the end of my blog post this year I am going to keep you updated on the number of movies that I have seen at that given time.

If any one has resolutions that they would like to keep, let me know. I would be more then happy to give encouragement. It is best to tackle these with help from someone else.

  1. What great goals you have set for yourself! I never actually get around to setting any New Years resolutions, so I find it very easy to meet my own standards..but you inspire me to do something great! What a great year it is going to be :)

  2. This will indeed be a great year. I plan on going to the gym more often and making a crapload of movies. Fulfilling our creative sides could be a really fun mission for this new year. Lots of movies man. That is my goal. Maybe I should set a specific number? Hmmm....

    Oh, Caytie is joining us in our Top 100 films quest. She will be watching "Streetcar Named Desire" with us tonight.
