In 2009, I resolve to…

Be healthier. This will be the hardest one for me I think, so it goes at the top. I will eat better. That means no more fried foods or chicken wings. I will work out a lot. I’ve lost a lot of weight in the past, so I know that once you get in a routine, it’s easy. I will also visit the doctor and dentist in 2009. I will fix my high blood pressure.

Read more. This includes learning more. When school ends, you finally have a chance to learn what you want to, not what is taught to you. I will make sure I read at least one new book per month and learn about a new topic.

Change

Blog more. This blog barely gets updated. My ZDNet blog isn’t much better.

Cook more. I’ve been a line cook at about 4 restaurants, but I have yet to use the kitchen in my SF apartment.

Spend less money, and save more. This one is huge. My finances do need a lot of work. I have a little bit of debt that I need to figure out and pay down. Some of it is college, and some is old credit card.

Be way more patient. This one is very hard for me. Using the Internet every day makes me want instant gratification for everything in life. When I am cruising around in a browser, at any time I can hit CMD + T and tab to Google and find any bit of information that my heart desires. I take it for granted sometimes. In ‘09, I will be more patient with life.

Be more social. I would like to meet every single person who has ever been born.

Make my company better. As I sit here and write this, my dad is watching the NBC Nightly News. He regularly watches Marketwatch.com, a direct competitor to BNET (a site I work on every day). In the new year, I want to make my company stronger.

Sixth Photo Meme

Goto Flickr and take the 6th photo from the 6th page of your photostream. Here’s mine:

Monkey playing a trumpet backwards

Tom Merritt hit me with this photo meme, from Veronica Belmont. Lemme tag six more people: Josh Campoverde, Kevin Cupp, Brian Sewell, Stephanie Chu, Neha Tiwari, and Miguel 23.

Have you met the Milk man?

I went to see Milk last night and I was blown away.

Harvey Milk

It was a very touching story about the life and times of San Francisco’s first openly gay politician Harvey Milk. If this movie is playing near you, I recommend you see it at once.

Harvey Milk Plaza

In the heart of San Francisco’s gay district, the Castro, there is a public transportation plaza dedicated to this man, and I found it yesterday for the first time.

I was really enlightened when I saw the memorial:

I will blog more, I promise

It’s a new month, and this blog has been dead for a while. I have been busy with other things, but now I’m back.

I will offer photos, stories, and videos.

Stay tuned for more.

Real life advice

I dunno if this is really Kanye, but I believe it.

Michael Moore is controversial, but that’s why I like him. Here is his newest movie:
