*These are not resolutions--I actually plan on accomplishing these.
Mom always said it's important to have goals. For a long time, my goals more or less revolved around saving enough money for a hamburger or a beer. Now i'm shooting a little bit higher.

- Read 25 Books. 12 of these can be re-reads. There are no rules about book length or content.
- Commit to memory 15 new recipes. And be able to cook them with my eyes closed.
- Commit to memory the metric system, and all relevant conversions.
- Take 1200 photographs.
- Hunt, kill, butcher, and eat an animal. Fish don't count.
- Cook at home every week.
- Write every day. Does not have to be post worthy.
2007. What happened?
- San Francisco. It's awesome. I don't want to gush too much, but it's a nice feeling when you realize you're where you were supposed to have been all along. This isn't to say that the department of parking and transportation hasn't been a major pain in the ass...but I guess that's the price you pay.
- Married! What they said was true--the wedding flew by, and so did the honeymoon. But we had fun, and things are going well.
- New friends. Shuna, Rachel, Jamie. Trouble comes in threes. I feel lucky to know all of you.
- Old friends. Dylan, Dan, Nick, Joey, Nick, Ginger, Pat, Rossi. It's a nice feeling getting to a point in your life where you realize you'll most likely know your friends for the rest of your life.
- Cooking. I reached a new level of confidence this year...and I think my eyes got a little sharper. Instincts were also honed. But more than anything, I taught myself many, many new techniques...and also learned a few from Joey.
- This is a small one, but South Park has been awesome this season.
- My nephews. They're growing up quickly now...and they get excited when their uncle is around.
- This blog. Sometimes im shocked people actually read it.
