It is that time of the year again, to set some goals for myself, keeping them quite small, but hopefully make my life better. These are not really for you readers, but for me to write down publicly. By writing these resolutions down like this, I have to be held accountable and seeing them written down like this, it motivate me to do them.
- Complain less and remain positive
I think it is a very British thing to do to complain and be negative, but I think if you live your life complaining all the time, your just looking for bad things in life. Speak positive and you will be happy, at least that is the idea.
- Don’t hold Grudge
Much like the first resolutions, it is a matter of remain positive and happy. Holding onto angry is not good for your soul.
- Get up earlier in the morning and have breakfast
- Go to Orange Wednesday every week
- Visit all of my friends at university
- Go on Holiday
- Start the process of learning to drive
- Don’t buy anymore games until I complete all the games I have
- Go swimming once a week
- Drink less caffeine
- Redesign all of the sites that I run.
What are your new years resolutions? What would add to this list?
It is that time of the year again, to set some goals for myself, keeping them quite small, but hopefully make my life better.

For those reading this, what are your resolutions? What is missing from my list?
It is that time of the year again to look back on the year gone by and looking at the resolutions I set at the start of the year. It has been a long and hard year for me, so forgive me if I didn’t do as well as I hoped. (more…)
Just a quick note to all those who are reading this, I have recently setup my facebook profile to automatically converts everything I post my blog, spacedmonkey as notes. This means that my blog can be read from directly within Facebook and means my writings and rants get more eye balls on them. There may be so posts that are completely random, pointless, stupid, nerdy, weird or generally not understandable but keeping reading, their really is some gold. So if you are reading this as a note, check out my blog at www.spacedmonkey.co.uk or click on the original post link at the top that says “View original post”.

After the success of writing for New years resolutions for 2007, I am writing them down again so I can look back on them and make sure I stay on target. So I am going to write a long list again, things I know I can do, things I know I should do and thinks I wish I could do. Right so here we go
- Get an up to date Calendar, putting all coursework dates, birthdays and everything else.
I am thinking about using Google Calendar and Ical.
- Do more cooking
This means that I should stay away from things that involve using Microwaves. When I do cook things, I must not over cook things. By cooking more myself I should be of better health.
- See friends from home more
Get people at uni and get them to come to Portsmouth.
- Stay in contact with my family
- Eat less sweets, crisps and chocolates
- Pass my second year of University
- Find time to find new music
- Be earlier with getting form, coursework and other important things in.
- Get a summer job.
- Have weekend away with Bex Terry
I think unlike last year, I set some real goals. Now I think I can set to doing them!
It has been a year since I wrote my New years resolutions for 2007 and I thought it was time to see what progress I made on completing my goals for this year. It was a really good idea to write these things down and look at them again a while later. It is really interesting to see what was important to me a year ago. Before reading this list, it is important to have a look at the original list of resolutions.
Right so, lets go through the list and see how well I did!

As I long hair Uni student, this is a question that I ask myself all the time. As a student, you move around a lot and it is not unusual to change addresses three or more times. Most students still move home to their parents home for Summer and Christmas. It can be hard for people that are all over the place to feel at home. I have had this problem. Moving from home into uni halls of resistance was hard but not as hard as moving home. Returning from uni to what used to be home is one of the oddest feelings of my time. You walk around feeling like this is no longer home, like you have out grown the place. It feels really bad as you remember having a good times in this place.
HOME
a house, apartment, or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household.
As a young man, I know that I am not really going to have a stable home. It is a case of changing my state of mind. Instead of thinking that home is where all my stuff is, it is where I lay my head. With this new state of mind, it comes a feeling on home sickness. Not having a true home means that your home sick even when your in your house. It is all just weird…
