Good-Bye 2008, Hello 2009!!

As the year comes to an end, I have had some time to reflect on 2008. It was a year of ups and downs for me, but the most important thing is that I have done my best to better myself. Like every new year, I set my New Year's Resolutions. There are a couple of things that I want to strive to accomplish this upcoming year.

1) Be a better son, brother, nephew, & grandchild.

~ My family is the group of people that will be there with me till the very end and I want to make sure that I do my best to keep in touch with them since I do live far from all of them. Whether it's a phone call, an email, or a message/comment on Myspace or Facebook....I want to make it a habit to let them know that I'm thinking about them. I love my family very much and wouldn't want to neglect them.

2) Be a better boyfriend & friend.

~ Along with family, I hold my partner & friends very close to my heart. There are times when we will get into arguements, but I want to work on being a better boyfriend & friend by being able to communicate well with them. I want to be able to spend time to strengthen our love or friendship.

3) I want to be able to keep myself physically fit.

~ It's really important to me that I keep myself physically fit since there a lot of things out in the world that can impede us from being healthy. First of all, I'm going to take into consideration what I eat. I will cheat here and there, but on rare occasions. I want to limit myself to one cheat day between 1-2 times a month. People may think I'm crazy and that you only live life once, but that's why I'm strict with what I eat because I wanna live my one life as long as I can. I will keep up with going to the gym, whether it's CrossFit or LVAC. I want to keep my body in shape and no it's not because I'm self-cautious with how I look, it's because I feel good after working out.

4) Be the best that I can be at whatever job I have.

~ I've worked my butt off before to get where I wanted to get and this year should not be any different. I will put 110% into whatever job I have this year (that's when I finally get one...LoL!)

This year will be an interesting one and I look forward to all the blessing and challenges that will come my way. It's all up to me to make the best of it and accomplish what I want to accomplish. To my family, Joey, & my friends I want to wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! May 2009 bring many blessings in both mine and your lives!
