2010 is going to be a brilliant year for me. I’m already enjoying it and I’m going to continue in the same frame of mind. The Noughties and my thirties are gone and so too the trials of the toughest decade of my life so far.
I have high hopes for the Teenies (got a better name for 2010-2019?) and my forties and want to start the decade with a bang.
First on my list is getting a six pack. I want to be a 41 year old with a flat stomach and abs you can eat your dinner off (as long as you’re of the female persuasion – guys, you can use plates like normal people).
I’ve talked about this for years and years but I’m closer to achieving it this year than anytime over the last decade – So I’m going for it!
By the last day of February I’ll be at my target weight of 173lbs and from there I’ll see what needs to be done to get the flat abs.
Second on my list is bringing in some money using this damn computer. I’ve been utterly devoted to this time sucking device for years and what has it given me in return? Nothing but headaches and heartache.
By the end of January this thing will bring me in an extremely modest $100 and by the end of February it will have earned me $300. How? I don’t know exactly, but I’m not going to let that small detail prevent me making rash promises.
By the end of 2010 this computer will be earning me $2000 a month!
That’s it.
No promises of:
-
Getting out of bed at 5am everyday
Becoming a better parent
Giving up alcohol
Sticking to a budget
Learning to play the guitar
Getting better organised
Dancing naked in the rain
Nothing else. I’m going to do those two things and let the rest take care of itself.
I suppose I’d better get on with it. Over Christmas I put on 4 and a half pounds and in the first four days of this year I’ve earned only 71 cents.
Happy New Year!

Was one of your promises to turn into an American over night? What’s this obsession with dollars?
Don’t worry I’m not turning American. I won’t be talking about color, or favor, or neighbor, or faucet, or trunk, or tire and you won’t catch me writing ‘thru’ in a million years (unless in context), nor will you catch me writing ‘w/’ instead of with, and you’ll never see me writing ‘my bad’ as long as I have a hole in my bum. What you will see me doing is writing massive run-on sentences littered with unnecessary commas and hyphens.
If I talk in dollars it means I can use big round figures like $100. Currently the equivalent in Pounds Sterling is £61.96 which is not so round or so sexy. I could have said £100 but £61.96 will be easier to achieve. Also, my adsense account and other affiliates pay in dollars. It was just easier, honest.
Oh OK then, I just wanted to sound big and clever. Soz.
Dave!

I wonder if I made that promise of dancing naked in the rain…well…what my wife would do – oh wait, I know – she would fall down from laughing hysterically…
I’ll make no promise of that for the new year either…
(how did I do – do I sound quite American???) (or maybe…I should???)
Lance! So great to hear from you!
Tara is proudly British and probably thinks I’m selling out so I thought I’d reassure her.
Dancing naked in the rain is always a laughing matter if it’s a bloke – especially if it’s cold!
Have a great 2010 Lance!
Wow – looking good here and I am afraid I am writing American these days…my formal training Canadian is forsaking me.
I too want to make some funds in 2010….and be heard and read.
My goal weight is 170 pounds, but I have a very far, far way to go…visualizing the outcome now.
I did go walking 3 miles in the rain today – it was lovely and no one would want to see me do it naked
I am optimistic myself…I am going to surpass my father’s 64 years, I am sure of it now. I too make no promises of how it is all going to happen, but I did get a paying book review deal…posting on January 29th…it’s a start.
Wishing you well and lots of colour and flavours and pounds silver.
Visualising the outcome is a great way to do it. I really like that approach.
The paying book review is a great result. A few more of those and you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.
Wishing you lots of colors and flavors and dollars.
