the new year is upon us. and, of course, it is a good time of year to reflect on all of our triumphs and tragedies of the past year. 2002 has been a good time with lots of new people, experiences, travels, etc… but i think for the next year, there are a few things that i can fix or add to my life. i hope that no one holds me to this list!!!

• stop smoking alltogether (this one is well under way and i’ve been pretty damned good about it - haven’t bought a pack in several months now)
• only drink 1-2 nights per week
• get my ass to the gym
• save some money

• start caring about other people a little more
• improve my spanish
• take my multi-vitamin every day
• stop stressing out about work
• be at home for the cat a little more
• finish furnishing my house and get rid of the cardboard boxes
• start making music
