Does anyone have any New Year`s Resolutions for 2003? Mine are:
To try and eat more healthily,
Become more positive and far less
stressed about everything, and To dedicate at least an hour a day
for poi practice. It would be interesting to review the topic in say a month or so`s time to see if people are managing to keep their resolutions or if they have failed miserably!

I would Like to Follow my Fire Disire!
Break away from my Girlfriend of 3 1/2 years.
Become Independent!!
Move closer to the Beach, Where not only I can find fellow fire folks, but also start an Idea I have been pondering for years. (Skiing a Wave!)
That would be all for now.

FireSpirit if you wanna play on waves with your own propulsion abilities (other than the actual wave) try Kite surfing! I just finished one of the best kite surfin sessions I've had and I'll be buzzing for days.
My Resolution is to express unconditional Love to everything.

I don't usually believe in new years resolutions, because I don't see the point in waiting for the start of a new year to do something different, it makes more sense to me most of the time to just do it.
However, this year I'm making a new years resolution to finally get rid of my belly. I've been trying for a while with very little success, then all of a sudden christmas is upon us and I end up eating really badly.
So, I've decided that I'll eat the stuff I want to until after new year, then all the junk is being cut out and I'm eating properly from there on in, as well as getting as much exercise as it takes.

I have changed so much in my life towards the positive this last 12 months I am finding it incredibly difficult to make any resolutions this new year. So rather feebly....
I will master btb weave
Stop smoking my obligatory three cigarettes when I go to the pub. (Which is the only vice I have left!)

This year will be my first real New Year's resolution ever. I really want to document my year. I do so much cool crap during the weekends and vacation and I want to put it all in a scrap book at the end of the year titled "2003"... I think it'd be cool. And achievable.
I like the whole "not really knowing what's in store" part of life. Especially since life's been pretty good lately. Most of my recent surprises have been good. And involve naked women. Which is always nice.

ok, i dont really do the whole NYR thing, it has undertones of commitment, and making an effort that i just dont dig........ hehehe joking
here they are:
Get out of debt, again. This is the first time in ages that i've owed money, and boy does it suck.
Get my own place and furnish it!
Spend some serious quality time with my friends, and make new and lasting friendships. Im realising more and more how important the ppl around me are, and how much i really appreciate them....
and, i'm going to put some serious effort into my hobbies. Not having a telly when i get my own place is going to help, so i'll be practicing all my fire stuff, at least an hour a day, and hopefully introducing more ppl to spinning! HOORAY!

Hmmm.... Okay...Well, I'm pretty happy with my life, but I do need to do change a few things to make 2003 more positive and stuff....
Do something interesting in the Uni holidays instead of just going home and working - live while I'm still obligation free!
Appreciate myself more and quit feeling like I have to justify parts of my personality that some people just 'dont get'...
Go sky diving with my best friend
Realise that all the people around me who care about me are far more important than the one or two that make me feel like shit.
Tell the dude at college that thinks we are besties and that I think he is wonderful that I actually think he is a toss and treats me like shit.
Study a lot harder with my degree than I did this year and do fantabulously in my last year.
Stop procrastinating and actually do all the things I want to do!
Hope everyone has a fantastic New Year....
