"The unexamined life is not worth living"
- Demetri Martin quoting Socrates or some bullshit
This is the thread for making ourselves better. None of that pansy "I wish I could do ___________ but don't want to do anything about it whaaaaaaa", this thread is for setting a goal, forming a plan and sticking to it to see your goal accomplished. It's about accountability, or at least as much accountability people on the internet can offer.
In short, this is kind of like the workout thread except for things that aren't getting PUMPED UP. For example, I find that I don't do nearly enough drawing considering I want to be an artist, so I intend to dedicate no less than an hour a day to actually doing some drawing.
So ladies, tell me what you want to accomplish, what new skill you want to master, or what thing you like to pretend you can do but really suck at and need to fix.
For here, we shall improve ourselves.

And so I release this thread into the wild, for the approval of you, the people.

my plan so far is to make another post sometime after this first one
Man how was that movie?
FUCKING RIGHTEOUS!
Oh yeah and I guess I have a lot I could do.
I am nervous.
But here goes nothin'

Bold actions, sir
I know the feeling. Good luck!
It was great except we skimped on the toppings.
The crust we made from scratch turned out great even though Stale said it wouldn't the first time.
I was really happy with how it went.
Cookin' ain't so hard. You can do it!
There're no grand ambitions involved, just a little personal project, really.

hi5.
I just quit the reefer.
Finally I can stop the killing.
I have to try to MAKE SOME MUSCLE AND BECOME A BIG MAN
I have to try to stop talking about me all the time
hurray
also hurray for Janson
Let's be friends.
you sure do get angry whenever I whoop your butt in WC3
my goals are also to read for half an hour every day, do some kind of workout for half an hour everyday, and practice guitar for an hour each day!
I am going to fail miserably but dang it I'm sick of sucking at those things
hence the thread, I guess
I tend to mess up the timing when trying to cook multiple things, and I usually end up with at least one thing having gone badly or at least not the way I intended it to.
At the very least, I got motivated to clean the kitchen up.

However, for the last three weeks, I've been on and off campus during the summer semester, attending about 8 hours of classes, four days a week, which has involved getting up at about 6:30 in the morning in order to catch the right buses, and I don't usually get home until almost 6 pm.
I'd be feeling pretty awesome about that, if I wasn't so fucking tired.
Vann Diras I will take up your gauntlet.
Tomorrow.
The way I'm planning it I'll definitely be able to afford PAX but I just don't want to completely drain any cash reserves I have.
The books part wouldn't be so bad if the libraries near me weren't so sadly small, and as for games I'm really starting to miss playing EVE.
let'd do this shit bro
just poach the salmon
if it's roughly 145-165, it is almost impossible to leave it in too long
preferably closer to 145
I have about 15-20 lbs I need to shave that I have gained since moving in with my new wife before I end up with my father's gut.
I have to eat more fiber and drink more water so I don't have to spend 30 minutes browsing SE while I poop.
I have to organize my workflow at the office and reduce the stress I feel when I am there.
I give myself until April to do these things, when I turn 30 and my life ends.
Do the machinist diet, you can lose that in a little over a month!
I'm learning spanish right now through rosetta stone though I really need to force myself to do it on days when I don't feel like doing anything...
What spring does with the cherry trees.
drawing
big man
read
spend less
maybe learn to read some of the languages i speak
learn actual french?
my goal is to spend all of my money on drugs and unhealthy snack food
- Get in shape, because I am so terribly out of shape (and slightly flabby, ew)
- Stop being so lazy and start preparing myself to get a job next year because I am fucking graduating and I want a decent job
I'll be moving to the "big" city and damn it I want to make so many new friends
Oh the salmon's not the problem. I know how long to cook that. It's that I'm making steamed asparagus and pasta with it. The steamer is pretty automatic, but I have little idea of how long it actually takes, so I'm never really sure when to start. And I tend to mis-estimate how long it actually takes to cook pasta. So the salmon will be like hey ding I'm done! And I'll be like shiiiiiit, the pasta just went in the pot, and the asparagus has actually been done for like 10 minutes.
