So a brand, spankin' new year is nearly upon us; it's that time of year for resolutions.

In the past, I have refused to make resolutions due to the fact that it's stupid. However, I am feeling somewhat idiotic at the moment so why the hell not...

Salian's Declaration of Purpose & Intent:
1. By Jan 1 2007, I aim to reach my goal that had been set several months ago of running 30-minutes non-stop. For the year 2007, the new goal would be to run for 1-hour non-stop. (Someone informed me that I look 'tan' in my MSN display pic - sure as hell wasn't from my Thailand trip. I wonder if I should start investing in whitening creams or something because I doubt I'm going to get fairer and I doubt I'm going to start running pre-dawn or post-dusk hours... but then again, I don't want to be fair. I actually like tan... just not supercrazydarktan.)

2. I intend to make more use of my skimboard come 2007. I have, I bashfully admit, put skimboarding on the back-burner so that I could concentrate on reaching my running goal.

3. There will be more traveling in my future. There will be more traveling in my future! (had to put in an exclamation mark to give it more bang) Fuck savings and conservative finances. What's the point of living to 70 if you haven't lived the first 55 years, right? [Speaking of traveling, anyone living outside of Malaysia willing to loan me a corner to sleep in at their place at some point in time?]

Those are my goals for 2007.

For the third point, thanks (or curses) for the motivation goes to this guy, this guy and this lady.

I have sooo lifted procrastination up to an entirely new level today.
