Happy (almost) New Year everyone! What are your resolutions? Here are mine:

  • To work out harder/ more often
  • Master manual focus on my camera.
  • Breed my first mantis
  • Sex a tarantula molt myslef
  • Keep an old world tarantula
  • Learn to bake and cook
  • Get better at 8 ball pool, and 9 ball
  • Start a invert related YouTube channel
  • Go to a Reptile Expo
  • Keep bonsai trees
  • Get better at logo design
  • Get better at video/photo editing
  • Have a terrarium with multiple different inverts
  • Hatch an ooth
  • Become less sarcastic (I'm pretty sarcastic, especially at the worst moments)
  • Get a sub 20 in Rubiks Cubing (currently sub 30)
  • Arrange a NY ant together
  • Dissprove alternate realities (already can, just no one who specializes in this sorta stuff will listen)
  • Go vegetarian for a month
I have a long list lol

That's quite a list! Most are doable though (good luck with the sarcasm!).

- The one about using the manual camera settings properly is one I share for this year, my wife and I plan to join a photography club and/or complete a photography course at the community college.
- Another is to get my website back online, for 3 years I've been paying for a site that went offline when my friend died, he owned the host server.
-And of course, the obligatory lose weight resolution.

I don't want to lose weight, I'm already one of the lightest (mainly since I'm short...) in my grade. Some of my friends hips are up at my shoulders. I'm 4'9" and 13. And 80lbs. If I loose any more weight I'll be a leaf. So I'm trying to bulk up, with muscle.

I was at 150 pounds at 13 and probably shorter.

When me and my friends are just walking around town, just hanging around it's actually a physical exertion for me. There legs are soooo long, I have to take twice as many steps as them to keep up. I've found myself jogging before lol. At the same time, I'm pretty fast for my height. Can keep up and beat most of my friends while running laps or something. Some of them are 5' 9" while others are around 5' 3" or so. Me at a mere 4' 9" haha. I prefer it though, I can pass as an 8 year old, which can be handy at times. But going to places with age restrictions like "must be 13 and up" it can be a nuisance. All my friends have to vouch that I'm old enough, plenty of people think I'm a little brother or something. It's pretty funny. And since I'm really light plenty of my friends can pick me up and carry me around, or at the top of human pyramids and stuff, so there are perks. I'm supposed to grow another 13-15 inches though based on what the doctor says on my growth patterns. I am most likely to be 5' 10" to 6' as an adult, so pretty average. I love being short and light lol.

#1) invest in batteries for my toy collection

#3) become the new owner of AB (just for ****s n giggles)

#4) use my powers of persuasion to convert a democrat to republican

#5) purchase a kimber 1911 with gold filigree and a pearl grip

#6) shoot Rossi in the d* with it

#7) play with m****f thinking about it

#8) give brown boxing a new name like "smart investing"

#9) own a species of tarantula that i have not yet obtained

#10) continue on without the filter.....

#11) make someone comprehend my sense of humor

#12) murder all child predators

#13) terminate all pest control

#14) put a tarantula in my sisters bed while she sleeps

#15) look into finding a professional psychologist to help me with some of these ridiculous resolutions

There are so many other things.....I could go on and on....but due to "legalities" when it comes to my sinister nature....i'd rather keep the explicit to myself.... ;)

Sorry to hear about your job, but hey, maybe it leaves you free to seize an opportunity this year?
After 30+ years of smoking I gave up Nov 2017, but I didn't give up nicotine, I just use an inhaler instead of smoking tobacco. I think that made it possible, I now only use about 4 inhaler cartridges a week, so that's not going to be too hard to quit this year, although I may not bother, I like the nicotine hit when drinking!
Best of luck with everything!
