2011 - Resolutions?

[MrBump]

I seem to remember these threads not catching on, but I'll have a go!

I'm 40 in 2011, so I need to lose about 3 stone before May.  That's one resolution.

And I'm going to be nicer to the wife - not that I'm particularly NOT nice, but I think that paying her a little more attention might be a good idea.

And I'm going to build my perfect guitar, with the assistance of Warmoth and Bare Knuckle Pickups.

That's about all for 2011.

Happy New Year, y'all.

Mark.

• stop snogging the wrong girls

• try to lead an exciting life
• buy less guitars

I don't make resolutions. But in terms of goals for this year:

Get into uni.
Write at least another three albums.
Have another successful festival.
Get playing around, and out with, the UK again.


This year was pretty good, with getting a band signed and an album out, starting two new bands I really enjoy and getting back into education, but we had to downsize a festival and have decided not to repeat another, so hopefully the good stuff continues and the other stuff rights itself.

All the best to everyone.

1 stop smoking
2 build myself a slo clone

thats it really.

The second wont happen unless the first does as ill need a good chunk of the money that ill save from the 1st in order to make that and others to happen.

I've figured out ill save about £2600 in a year which is great ive decided im not making any guitar related purchases unless i can fulfill the 1st

I have a few ambitions for 2011 as opposed to resolutions
1) Finish a batch of guitars I plan to build
2) Have a damn good clear out of all stuff I never use
3) Raise enough money to get the laser cutter I mentioned being interested in
4) Get out on my bike a bit more - I miss cycling
5) Get more sleep
6) play more guitar

[38thBeatle]

1)Visit my sons- one in Ireland and the other in USA
2) finish writing some unfinished songs and record an albums worth of material
3) get on with my bloody book
4)get healthy( I have had some issues lately)
5) do something bold like change my job


I am not saying they are resolutions but are aims for this year.

[Jonny]

In no order:

• Graduate
• SLO Clone
• Gym
• Italy
• Job
• (Start [I know, it's ridiculous]) Recording guitar
• Visit Tony

I like how we all deny they're resolutions, but really they can be in some ways.

Happy new year, nevertheless.

Aiming to get rid of the rest of my fat, think I can do that next year. Also going to apply for a Canadian or New Zealand working holiday visa to get away from here for a bit. If that doesn't work I'm gonna have to try and get a proper job. Be good to get into a band as well, generally just have more fun!

Fun? At 20% VAT?

We'll all be trying eventually lol

I'll be looking for some really good relaxation techniques so I am well practised before my twins arrive. I think it's going to be a stressful year!

Potty train the boy
Getting married
Get running again and set some PB's

[ras]

Continue to abstain from smoking, I am a reformed smoker
Get into law school instead of sitting on the applications
Continue strength training (Specifically get 166 kgs up on a one rep bench press)
Do something with my life instead of being a vacuous waste of space.  yes I have a degree from a university but eh doesn't seem like enough .

[dave_mc]

buy more guitars
continue to be a vacuous waste of space
learn how to solder

Not really fancying my chances with the third one.

[Ratrod]

Nah, no resolutions. Just hopes n' dreams.

Happy New Year.

*Be more physically active, country/forest walks etc
*Focus on further improving on guitar instead of spending too much time on the net
*Move out
*Buy a newer car
*Go to more gigs
*Maybe put my own 'album' together
