As the new year approaches, lots of people like to come up with Resolutions. This year I’d like to try something different. Instead of Resolutions, I’m going to simply list things I’d like to do. They don’t have to be things that start immediately, and I won’t feel any guilt for not being able to comply to them. Anyways, here’s a list of the top 10 things I’d like to do this year:

1. Take a road trip out of state – this would be lots of fun, and I’d love to get out and go somewhere new. It’d also open a lot of photographic opportunities for me.
2. Finish this website – Self explanatory really.
3. Buy an Xbox 360 – I know I shouldn’t, but it might happen, haha. As if I need something else to waste my time with.
4. Do a photo session with someone famous – man, that’d be awesome! Heh, even if the shoot sucked, I’d still be glad I got the chance.
5. Clean my room – This, my friends, is an eternal struggle for me.
6. Find a girl – haha, I doubt this one will happen, but I figured I might as well throw this one in there somewhere .
7. Run a marathon – I’ve kinda always wanted to, but I never had enough discipline to run so long. If I want to do it within this year, I”ll have to start now.
8. Get my six pack abs back – I used to have them all throughout high school. Not that anyone saw them, or I showed them off, but I was working out a lot more back then. I’ll have to renew my gym pass once the new 24 Hour Fitness in my area is finished.
9. Make a painting – Art was never my strong point. But I’d love to try something new. And not just a drawing that I didn’t really work at. I mean a PAINTING. Like, something I could put on canvas and hang up on a wall. That’d be awesome.
10. Learn how to Scuba Dive – I love swimming, but I tire of the fact that I can only go so far before I have to go back up for air. I’ve done snorkeling, and you can last a little longer under water, but you’re still fairly limited. I want to go way deep, and swim amongst the schools of fish. It always looks so cool on Animal Planet.

So there you have it 10 things I hope to do in 2009. You never know if I get the chance to do some of these things, you’ll be one of the first to know about it . I can’t wait to cross one of these off my list.

Are you guys setting any goals or resolutions for the new year? What are they?
