2007: Resolved
In the end, I wasn't able to come up with any resolutions for 2007 beyond what I had already established prior to New Years Eve. So, about ten days late, here is the list of things that this particular Super Fly wants to accomplish this year.
Complete the BUD/S Warning Order Workout
Read at least twenty books - ten for leisure, ten for professional development
Embark on one photographic expedition every other month
I think I've had that first item on my list of resolutions for, like, the past five years or so. Maybe this will be my year. I keep both a list of my annual goals and a list of my life goals, so at this point my life goals are as follows:
See Pompeii, Libya, Skellig Michael, and a U2 concert
Revisit Orkney, Wyoming, and Washington D.C.
Live in the United Kingdom again (temporarily, not permanently)
Write a book, and get it published
Get a master's degree in Military History, International Relations, Counterterrorism, or Geography
Learn Latin, French, German, Irish Gaelic, and Arabic
Complete the BUD/S Warning Order Workout and run a ten kilometer race
Have retirement homes in Orkney and Wyoming
Read the Talmud
Kill a wild boar
Save the world
There was one additional item on the list that I decided to take off: become a husband and father. I wouldn't say that this is no longer one of my goals, but I decided that a list like this required items that were entirely under my control. As far as I'm concerned, my capacity to get married is something that I have oly partial control over; and although I'm physically able to procreate without getting married, that's not something I plan to do.
So, there you have it, folks. Just out of curiosity, has anyone already either broken their resolution(s), or completed it/them?
