Life goes on and usually in too big of a hurry. I guess the biggest thing to happen recently is that a guy that I used to drink with and that I've worked with on the stock crew since I started my tenure at Dillions shot and killed himself on Friday morning (01/05/05). I won't go into any more details because the story only gets sadder.

In other less depressing news I've gotten roughly about 60% of the things on my to do list finished already. Looking at it now I doubt I'll be able to finish all of them by next Tuesday, but I'm really going to try. I'm hoping to have everything but some of the more advanced C++ stuff done by then.

Now with the New Year here I guess its time for some longer term goals (i.e. New Year's Resolutions). The main goal I want to get to this year is taking better care of myself. I will be finishing college this May and using that excuse isn't going to cut it anymore. So I plan on eating right (not perfect, but more right than I have been), and exercising some what regularly. Till May it'll be mostly running I figure and then after than maybe some gym time and hopefully some hockey.

A few other goals I have are to get this mod up and going and finished... ok so maybe not finished. I also want to get more hobby programming going. I'd like to set up some web space to host my projects and that'd give me a place to work on more webby type stuff. Plus I also want to have some time to work on an old school RPG ala Dragon Warrior 1. I have some (what I think are) good ideas for it and the games that will follow, but we'll just have to see what will pan out.

And finally I want to make sure to do one of these a week even if it is some little dinky post just saying "Hey, I didn't do anything this week."

Hopefully that isn't too much to ask of myself, but considering that in 6 months I'm going to have to move and find a real job it could put some extra strain and stress and push those goals to the back of my mind.

We shall see...
