1-Produce My First Album windmill_scheme December 30 2008, 06:18:59 UTC

WHY- It's been a life long (not so-)secret dream of mine to be a rock star. I have spent an absurd amount of my quiet time thinking up album and song names. I have also spent an absurd amount of my quiet time meticulously planning my musical career despite the fact I have no musical talent and don't actually intend to seriously pursue it, that it's just a fantasy I like to play with. It's time to base this fantasy in reality, not so I can become famous, or good, or anything beyond just being able to know that when I have a dream I follow it ( ... )

2-Live In Vancouver windmill_scheme December 30 2008, 06:19:13 UTC

WHY- Since I was a child, I've had a fascination/longing for Canada, in the Summer of 2008 I visited Vancouver and became infatuated with it immediately. I suddenly knew what my younger self longing was for; I felt at home. I've been homesick for it since and must return. It is where I belong.

HOW- I am currently going through the process of applying to the University of British Columbia, so that I can live in Vancouver as a student. If for reasons outside of my control I fail to be accepted by UBC, I will move anyways, because I do not need the validation of an institution to pursue my dreams. I will be happy regardless the situation, I will live in Vancouver regardless of the paperwork.

WHAT WILL COME OF THIS? - I will be literally living the dream. I will be in a new world that I can explore. I will be able to give myself a restart in a place where I can define myself the way I want to be defined, rather than letting people's past interpretations of me defining who I should feel obligated to be.

3-Get Better At Guitar windmill_scheme December 30 2008, 06:19:28 UTC

WHY- Because I've been secretly learning how to play for 5 months and I still don't feel confident enough to play for any of my friends. The very fact that everyone is finding about it this way is pathetic. I need to be better because it is another life long dream of mine that I need to cultivate. I've always wanted to be able to pick up a guitar and play a beautiful or silly song. Additionally, the ability to play guitar is attractive to women ( ... )

4-Talk To At Least 1 Stranger Everyday windmill_scheme December 30 2008, 06:19:40 UTC

WHY- I am not a social creature, and by forcing myself to talk to strangers, I will be slowly getting more comfortable in the social environment. This is especially important for me when I move to Vancouver, because one of the aspects I want to be able to start over fresh with myself is my social recluse nature ( ... )

5-Run To Get Into Shape windmill_scheme December 30 2008, 06:19:56 UTC

WHY- I was in shape in Spring of 200 and I felt great, then my spinning class ended and I lost it. I miss feeling fit. I miss being able to run distances comfortably. Being in shape will help me feel better, physically and mentally. Additionally, being in shape will also make me more attractive, a seemingly reoccurring theme in my resolutions. This reoccurrence would suggest that I am eager to be attractive, or at least eager to have someone to be attracted to me ( ... )
