My 2009 Resolutions!

I know that this post is a bit late, but I have been traveling and have just returned to civilized lands where internet access is a reality.

2008 was a really crappy year for me. Everything that could go wrong, did! Loosing my kid brother in a car accident was certainly the low point of 2008. It did have a few high points though. My trip to see IslandChic in Beijing was certainly the highlight!

2009 snuck up on me like a taxi driver at a four way stop. But its here and its first week is already drawing to an end already.

I’ve put together a list of resolutions that I feel are worth sticking to. I’ve tried to be realistic about it and I certainly won’t be promising massive weight loss!

I resolute to:

  • Listen without saying anything for 20 minutes a day (Apparently, I have too little patience for stupid people and I need to listen more!)
  • Feed a poor child at least twice a month
  • Help educate a poor child
  • Study something that aids my career
  • Study something that adds value to my life without affecting my career
  • Find a friend that I have forgotten about and catch up
  • Stop judging the artsy fartsy type, some people are just weird
  • Fix this thing called “my health”
  • Spend more time outside

In 2009 I will greatly reduce the intake of: (not GIVE UP, just reduce!)

  • Softdrinks (That whole theory that Coke adds life, is balls!)
  • Chocolate bars (Happens rarely anyway, so less is bonus!)
  • White bread (Wheat and Grain is the way!)
  • Fries (Nando’s wedges is better anyway!)
  • Chilli (I’m Indian, so just know that this isn’t as easy it may sound!)
  • Energy drinks (Those things are designed for athletes and not for people who have parts that wobble when they laugh!)

In 2009 I will greatly increase the intake of:

  • Tea
  • Cucumber (lol)
  • Peaches
  • Fresh Grapes
  • Whole grain bread
  • Water
  • Veggies

I think thats it for me. I’d love to hear yours!

    Great to have you back and blogging again, you've been AWOL for a while, glad you're well. I must admit, your two food related lists are identical to what I have in my mind, I need to cut out the rubbish food and insert some good food. I've got a list of mine, which I'm putting onto a white board at the moment, but the problem is, they're not really items I'd like to make public, but what I can tell you, is that one involves investing and the other involves healthy eating :)

    @ChrisM - Yeah mate, I was away for a bit and really wasn't expecting not to have net access for so long. But I'm back and things will get going to a nice quick and aggressive Q1. Taking over the world isn't a job for the weak, you know?!

    Eeeek, that's happened to me before, I went away, expecting to have net access to only find out that I'd have to drive an hour along a dirt road, so I had to try and blog via my mobile, you know how intense that is when you're writing about something like SEO or marketing, sjoe! I'm strong, strong like bull. I don't want to take over the world, I just want to have a piece of each person taking over the world ;)

    Yeah... I bought a local SIM card hoping to score on 3G or at the very least GPRS, only to find out afterwards that it takes a week to activate...MAJOR help that was! I wonder when satellite phones with data capabilities will become mainstream, cos I can definitely use one of those! If you plan on investing in property, check out the JHB market. While i was there, i checked out a few billboard advertising new developments all over the show at CRAZY prices! I'll be doing some digging myself!

    A week to activate, ARGH! Yup, there are hundreds of lifestyle centres opening up all over the place at wonderful prices, so I've been looking around a little too. I don't have enough capital to start yet, but that's what this year will hopefully sort out..
