Beginning of the Year

So a new year begins and a final semester of school looms ahead threatening to stamp out any possibility of fun that may chance my way. I'm talking about my schedule that I have forced upon myself, class all day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, as well as work on Tuesday and Thursday same was last semester with an added twist, I will be attending another class on Tuesday AND Thursday nights to heighten the excitement of being in school with no free time. Well, we cant have that, so I've decided to put up my list of NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.

So my Ipod broke this year. Running it through the wash a second time was not the best idea for laundering my dirty songs. I figured that would put everyone off the scent but instead it just broke. It may not have been the wash that killed it but the drying. Who knows. I picked up another mp3 player though for christmas and we'll have to see how long it takes for me to wash this one. I decided not to pay the apple tax so I got a Creative Zen Stone 1 gig player for half the price of a shuffle. My biggest worry is the rain, I ride in the rain. And those of us who know, know that when the rain comes down, it doesnt stop for a few months. We're in the middle of those few months now, more than a few really, the middle of the nine of them. So I'll keep us all posted on the Stone's effectiveness at repelling water, battery life and tree-bashing hardyness.

My Resolutions

1) To ride every morning before work or school that I see fit. (You see what I've done here, I can follow this one whenever I like and not break it).

2) To live until at least the following year (2009).

3) To post this list for all who care to see.

4) To get my bike as muddy as I did today as often as possible.

I tried to contribute as many non-binding resolutions like our Senate and House does so that I cant be held accountable for not keeping up with them. The only one that I cannot really fully be in control of is living until 2009, there are just too many cars to keep track of for me to put that one all on myself... and I'm going to be in Hilo for a good portion of this year.
