Kinda late but post your new year's resolutions! I'll start:

-Teach myself some Japanese.
-Study more so I can get in a good university @_@
-Try to develop my social skills and be less shy.
-1024x768 (Fuck yeah no more 800x600).

-1024x768

Man does not live on less than 1280x1024 these days.

Thanks to my recent illness, I'm ahead of my perennial resolution to lose weight. Probably lost 10 lbs in the last two weeks.

My new year's resolution is to write more and to read less.

Go back to college this summer, find a major that I'll enjoy, and graduate so that I can get a GOOD job later on. Also, find a girlfriend while I'm there, lol.
Get my driver's license.
Attempt to learn Japanese.
PLAY MORE VIDEO GAMES. >:3

What about 1280x720 muahahaha?

Bah who am I kidding I'm addicted to 1680x1050, even though technically my monitor can do 2048x1536 my card is too shite to get it up there.

My new Year's resolution is to start my career, instead of this crappy half-assed job I have now.

My 07 resolution was to make a real resolution in 08

Hyperguy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2008, 10:03:51 pm »

We're nearing the end of January.

Who's followed through and who's abandoned?

ROMate · « **Reply #14 on:** January 29, 2008, 07:44:13 am »

I win at less gaming and more exercise. I fail at drawing more.

DualSoul · « **Reply #15 on:** January 29, 2008, 11:00:41 am »

I'm 0/0. Is that 100% or 0?

bfg00 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 29, 2008, 04:30:57 pm »

I'm at 140 lbs. for bench press. I'm still coding and I have no girlfriend yet.

Today I attached my belt buckle through the third hole instead of the second for the first time on that belt, of which I've owned five or six years now.

I say that's progress.

Following. Here, I'm gonna be nice and post my work out for you guys. Just in case you wanna try it!

Day 1 - Upper
-----
Bench : 9 Sets of 3 Reps, varying grips, 30-35% of max weight, 30-40 rest between sets.

2 Lat Exercises, 3 sets of 12
2 Tri exercises, 3 sets of 10
2 Shoulder exercises, 3 sets of 15
Abs

Bonus (If I'm feeling frisky) : Rotators, Reverse Hypers, Biceps (We find that biceps get worked through everything else, so they kinda go down in the hierarchy here).

Day 2: Lower

Box Squats : 10 Sets, 2 Reps
Hip Sled : 3 Sets, 10 Reps
Leg Curl and Extension : 3 sets of 10
Abs + Reverse Hypers

Day 3: Upper

One heavy bench, 3x5 or 3x3 or max or best 1x5, or 1x3 or 1x2.

Other than that, same as day one.

Day 4: Lower

Squat : Box, full, or good mornings, choose a rep scheme and then finish off with day 2

(Keep in mind theres a 1 day break between the days, so I work out every other day.)
(If you don't know what something is, bodybuilding/fitness sites will be able to tell you)

Hey, following up on resolutions... awesome idea.

Me, I am already using my time better. My mornings have become far more efficient.

I've also stopped eating out for lunch and buying orange juice in the mornings. I'm dumping 2.5x per month what I was into savings a few months ago.

I've also already written two reviews (I'll post a link eventually) and am working on a third tonight.
