Guess who's starting early on their new year's resolutions!

...not that i ever made any before...nor do i think that they are a good idea...i mean you can decide to start going to the gym or start being nice to people or whatever at any point in the year so why wait untill January 1st anyway...

anywho....i've come up with 3 resolutions i guess...

here they are....

1. I'm going to think more positive...

i know that sounds weird because i'm not usually a negative person...but i'm talking about my decision making skills...

truthfully...they suck...when making an important decision I always think 'what are the negatives'...now that can be a good thing at times because it can keep me out of trouble...but what it doesn't' help with is the fact that it causes me to fear making any decision other than what i'm comfortable with...

example:...witnessing is a big one...or telling people what they want to hear v.s. what they need to hear...so lets say i had a friend that needed my advice...i would probably (except for a few exeptions) tell them what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear just because i'm afraid that they will get mad at me or whatever.... so instead i'm going to think of positives about telling them what they need to hear....

....confused? sorry, but they're my resolutions not yours ;P

2. i'm going to take more chances (or 'leaps of faith' if that offends you)

this one is like the last one...but i've noticed that alot of times instead of telling someone what i need to tell them or something like that....just don't do anything...i "play it safe" when in reality...that's the most dangerous thing i can do...agian...i've turned down alot of good things just because i was afraid to make a decision...

3. i'm going to be more productive

i noticed today that i can't just sit around all day and play video games like i did in high school...(I use high school as sort of a benchmark for my life because my college years just seem to all blend together) anywho...

i'm going to be more productive...i'm not going to just sit around and do nothing when i'm bored...so i've decided that i'm going to start doing things like record songs, text friends, study (either school work or the Bible), just something i can do when i'm bored that actually means something in life...

i know Fable III is going to be fun...but a year from now...it will mean nothing...so if i'm going to waste 6 hours on a Friday i might as well be doing something constructive...or something that will achieve something someday sooner or later

anywho...if this post was confusing or something....don't worry...my main reason for posting this is so that i can look back on it and remember the decisions i've made...

...g'night and God bless as always
