Hopefully, I can finally figure out the purpose of my life. And yes, folks, I'm being serious about this, SERIOUSLY.
M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.
Wow, thanks. Problem solved. Hot diggitdy, I can finally move foward with the rest of my life. Oh wait, there is still the complicated problem of living in a planet that's part of a solar system, which is part of billions of galaxies, and in turn, the galaxies are part of millions of universes (some say there could be infinite amount of universes). And how about time and space? The amount of time and our level of existence is so inconsequential compare to the overall sentiment of things that it's almost like each and every person has never even existed. Then there's war, famine, natural disasters, rape, murder, pillage and basically the never ending question of why 'Man will always act like a monster to his fellow Man'. And how about religion? Who the heck is in charge of this whole shabang? Jesus, Buddha, Allah, JVG....who knows? I tried everthing you have suggested except the part about 'avoid eating fat'. So maybe that's the missing puzzle but I doubt it. But please don't diss fat. I like it....bacon, steak, fried chicken, ice cream. Hmmm, Yummy. And Happy New Year to you and everyone else.
1.) Fix up my car, First off, Literally fix it because it doesn't even run at the moment. Then maybe I'll throw some freakin sweet rims on it, get it re-tinted and painted. 2.) I'd like to get into better shape, I lost about 40 pounds over the last year and a half, now I'd like to add more muscle. I started working out in the summer but ended up stopping after a couple months. 3.) Maybe talk to a hot girl this year, there was an amazingly gorgeous chick in Bus Law and I couldn't even muster up the courage to talk to the b****. I am too damned shy and cautious, If I learned anything from this year, it is that I need to be loud, boisterous and blatantly narcissistic if I want to ever court any of these women.
You know Scrooge did end up having a change of heart by the end of a Christmas Carol? My resolutions: Build a mind reading I mean *edit* eating */edit* robot. Attack Guam. Set something large on fire. Read a book or two.
Yes I have a BS. It's not very helpful at the moment... I still haven't heard anything back from anyone. I have a part time job right now working 15 hours a week.... It's hardly going to pay my rent let alone my bills. Therefore yes, I need a full time job. And I would like it to pay more than I make right now at my part time job.
What a great way to start 2005! I was at the Rockets game, the Rockets won, and then I gave Terry Porter directions to the Four Seasons Hotel and wished him a Happy New Year. My New Years Resolutions are: 1) Lift Weights/Exercise 2) Do Charity Work 3) Read More And Write More 4) Learn Spanish
Happy New Year to All! My goals for 2K05 are: * Global trips- Manila and LA * Get muscle tone and mass * Figure out chics * Achieve more goals and milestones by being systematic and ruthless * Complete APICS and find new job Good luck to all in their goals. Let's reflect and discuss in 2006.
You can start your charity work by cleaning/organizing my garage. After you are finished with that I have 4 flower/plant beds that need tending to. What time can I expect you?
Before joining a gym, exercise fiscal fitness http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2973333 Read the fine print, test things out before you sign that contract By PURVA PATEL Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle It's a new year, and you've resolved once again to shape up. And health clubs know it. They're expecting you, touting special offers and discounts to lure you in. But before you buy a pricey membership, as with any big purchase, shop around and read the fine print. Gym membership rolls traditionally swell in January, according to the International Health, Racket and Sportsclub Association, which represents some 4,000 gyms in the United States. The group estimates 10 million Americans will join health clubs in 2005 and more than 1 million will do so in January. Enrollment jumps at least 20 percent during the first three months of each year at Fit, a downtown gym targeting young professionals, owner Scott Lutwak said. And that's without any special offers. "We're expecting a huge January," he said. "I think the industry as a whole is expecting a huge increase in '05 and that certainly begins in the early part of the year." Before plunking down cash, consider how much you plan on using the gym. Use it often, and it will probably pay for itself. Many ambitious members work out religiously for a month, but by February, resolve starts to dwindle. Houston has an array of options, from chains to independents and more exclusive high-end gyms. Prices and specials vary from gym to gym, even among franchises, especially because you can usually bargain with any sales representative or adjust your dues based on how much you put down. Many clubs are running holiday specials. Bally's Houston gyms are offering no-money-down, 36-month one-club membership for about $35 a month. Put money down, and the monthly dues may drop, a spokeswoman said. Most gyms charge down payment fees of more than $100 and monthly fees can range from about $30 to $75. Others may charge for certain classes and programs. The Downtown YMCA charges $75 to join, and $42 a month in dues if you're under 29. Older members pay $129 to join and $47 a month. Talk to members Once you've decided you can afford a membership, take a tour. "For people who take fitness seriously, the health club is the spot they go to on a daily basis," Lutwak said. "So pick a place you're going to be comfortable showing up at, a place with good service and close proximity to your home or work." Check the equipment for fraying cables or stitching, and check dumbbells for loose plates or rust. Look for clean locker rooms, and if you get sent in by yourself, ask other members what they like or don't like. Ask about the gym's maintenance crew, and you'll learn a lot about the club's priorities. A large club should have at least a handful of full-time staff cleaning nonstop, Lutwak said. Time it right Visit at a time you would normally use the gym, and you'll get a realistic view of whether you'll be waiting in line for a treadmill or a parking spot, said Brent Singleton, general manager of a Bally's club in Spring. Trial offers can be helpful because you can sample classes, but make sure there are no strings attached. A visit or trial offer usually ends in follow-up calls from a sales rep. Walk away if you feel too pressured, and read the contract carefully before signing. You can often bargain with the salesman to get reduced rates. Sign up with a friend and you might get a hefty discount. Most complaints on health clubs received by the Better Business Bureau of Houston deal with contracts, complaint coordinator John Abrams said. Read contracts carefully, and get anything you agree on in writing. Texas law lets new gym members void a contract within three days of signing the agreement. But that must usually be done in writing. After those initial three days, most clubs charge an early termination fee or require you to keeping paying dues if you decide to cancel your membership early. Pick your terms You can avoid losing money by opting for a month-to-month membership, but the pay-as-you-go model usually requires a down payment. Bally's Houston clubs, for example, are charging $160 down plus $40 per month for month-to-month one-club memberships. In addition to the three-day penalty-free cancellation period, Texas law requires gym contracts to include a cancellation provision and a refund if the place goes out of business or moves more than 10 miles and a provision for a prorated refund if the consumer dies or is physically unable to use the gym. Also beware of automatic renewals. Some gyms extend contracts unless you cancel, often in writing. Often your only way out is if you move a certain distance away from the club, if you suffer a disability or if the club goes out of business. Most club contracts call for automatic payment. Putting the monthly charge on your credit card may be safer because you can stop payment and take advantage of protections should you have a legitimate dispute.
