My first one was staying sober, well, I am still sober! I have less than a month from my four year mark and that is a big goal for me to reach. I am still not going to meetings like I should, but I am still living by the 12 steps and keeping myself spiritually grounded.
Getting myself into shape is going slow but good. I have been changing the way I eat and forming new habits. I want permanent changes not quick fixes with this one. So that's why I am working on habits and not just taking off the weight. For example I have been drinking around 96 fluid oz of water a day, and I have been eating breakfast every morning. Two things I didn't do before.
Musically I haven't done much this year. RP played NYE and that's been my only show so far. Tonight is FLOABN's first show at ZaZoo's. I hope it goes well. I started shielding my 5 string jazz bass and I did some more sanding on it, I sanded under the bridge so it will resonate better. My noiseless pickups that are in it are actually pretty noisy, ironic I know, so hopefully within the next few months I will buy a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders for it.
As for getting organized, my sister, Liane, came over and helped me clean my apartment and get rid of a bunch on unnecessary items. My apartment looks the best it has probably ever looked. My place still needs a bit of work. I am hosting a Super Bowl party with my friend Courtney, so I have to get the place looking extra snazzy before that. Now I just need to attack my shop at work.
I haven't really started working on paying down my debt yet... I gotta start making more money first. But I am trying to get a plan together to help get it paid off quickly. I plan on attacking the cards with small balances and paying them off then working on the bigger balances. I would love to get my credit back in the good to great range of things as soon as possible.
And the last one going out more is the only one I have really failed at. I have been hibernating as of late. A lot of that is due to the cold weather though. I think once it warms us and the snow leaves the ground I will go out and do more things, I am not a cold weather person.
New iPhone please....
Ok, for those who know me, I am a pretty geeky guy. I love Apple products. They are just better thought out than windows based devices. I have an iPhone, and I am a believer. To me, there is not a better phone on the market. But lately a few phones have popped up that are giving Apple a run for their money, like the Google Nexus One and Verizon's Droid.
Apple needs to go to at least 5 megapixels and add a flash. They also need to up the processing power by a lot and should probably go to a dual core processor. AT&T's biggest thing lately is how you can surf the web and talk on the phone at the same time, which you can, but the phone tends to lag a bit when you do this. If you had a duel core processor it will handle this task a lot better. Apple also needs to add real GPS instead of assisted GPS and add true turn by turn directions. I am sure they will upgrade both the processing memory and the storage memory as prices for those keep getting lower, but as always the more the better for this kind of stuff. I would also love to see Apple switch back the the aluminum back instead of the plastic. If they went aluminum again they could make the phones in different colors like the do the iPod Nanos. I think that would be a great selling point. Any improvement upon the screen would be nice too. I am honestly happy with the screen, but if Apple could up color and contrast that would be great.
I am sure whatever Apple puts out I will be pretty happy with, and as soon as my current contract is up on my iPhone I will get whatever the current model is out there. Hopefully I will be able to wait till summer when they release the newest phone. Last time I couldn't wait and I got the iPhone 3G where if I just would have waited a few months I could have gotten the 3GS. Lesson learned.
I hope everyone is having a great new year!
