    As the title says, what are peoples aims or goals for next year? My own would be to work harder and try not to keep putting things off till the last minute. Also, anybody got a cure for lack of motivation?

    Thats like the opposite of mine. I want to work less but work smarter. I want to take up all the stuff I used to do.

    Oh, loads. There's always so much I wanna do. I think I'd like to go back to college next year, not fuck up and actually get a degree this time.

    Give something back to my parents 'cause they've been amazing to me, and I pretty much didn't deserve it. Hopefully next year I can make them proud and show them I didn't take it all for granted. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Kimono-Girl


    1. Continue trying to be a better person!
    2. Help others.
    3. Plan wedding and get everything finalised
    4. See friends more often
    5. perfect my baking hobbie i've developed recently.....(i even have buns in the oven as i text) :D

    I have an odd fantasy of being in a nightclub and some guy asks me to dance and he's amazing and knows fancy steps and we fall in love.

    Now I can't actually do any proper kind of dancing, but in this fantasy he just knows how to make me do the moves too.

    Mine are:

    Have more fun
    Be a better Dad and husband

    Let's see.... I'm underpaid and undervalued, I'll most likely lose more pay, the country is f#cked and will be for the foreseeable future, and I'm snowed in. And there's Christmas shopping ads on telly. And I must be losing it coz I just heard the newswoman warn drivers of 'black eyes'. Or so I thought. So em.. no. On the other hand, there's something comforting in thinking 'oh f#ck it all, c'est la vie, que sera sera, and settling on the sofa with a coffee and baileys and some choccies to watch some mindless sh!te that won't tax your braincells. And there's a lot of it about.
    Don't worry, be happy. :p
    There's millions of people around the world much worse off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,705 ✭✭✭Johro


    Oh yeah, my goal for 2011 is not to have one or even think of setting one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 116 ✭✭COUCH WARRIOR


    sub 1 hour 10 mile run


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    My goal for 2011..

    Let me see, have Dudess PM me and invite me to be friends on FB.

    Randomly walk down the road and meet 'OutlawPete' and instinctively know its him.

    Drive through Galway, pick up a hitch hiker - and its Doc.B!.

    Dance a jig in a fairy ring, with BrummyTom and Christy Moore banging out the tunes.

    Dance a jig on Daithi McGee alwaysadub in a fairy ring.

    Not to kill anyone who annoys me. It only ends up with me messing about with shovels and the like. Very inconvenient.

    Especially this time of year.. Ground's rock hard. On the other hand, bodies keep longer, so no need to hurry.

    To not make the same ridiculous promises each year which are never kept.

    Things are good right now, why change them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭EverEvolving
