219 - Resolution I - PERSONAL

[captain_slinky]

First up are my "Personal" resolutions - things I just want to do for no other reason than it sounds like a good idea and could probably make my life better in general.

• PLAY MORE VIDEO GAMES - Yeah, I know that sounds silly, but really I just don't play games as much as modern society finds acceptable! This really hit home for me when I was taking a phone survey and they asked me how many hours do I spend playing video games on a daily basis and I said "I dunno... maybe an hour per month?"
  
• ENFORCE NO TECH TUESDAY GAME NIGHTS - Our "No Tech Tuesday" has been, in my opinion, a HUGE success but has recently devolved from the original vision, which was to be an opportunity for us to play board games all day long. I'm not sure how or why, but it's morphed in to a day where we just run errands and clean. I want No Tech Tuesday to be FUN again! I want it to be a night where all our friends know they can drop by and find us at home, playing games, and they're all welcome to join in :)
  
• DOUBLE TWENTY-TENS DAILY - I need to get back to doing the UFYH cleaning schedule I was once doing, where you set a timer for cleaning and breaks every day. Two 20-minute bursts of cleaning, each followed by an immediate 10-minute "Break". This is SUPER EFFECTIVE and will really help make sure I have time for my other resolutions, since a filthy house is usually the reason I don't have time for video games or board games ;)
  
• NEW COMICS GOOD HUWILL HUWEDNESDY - I would like to designate WEDNESDAY as THE DAY each and every week that we indulge our needs for Thrift Stores and Comic Books. Both of these things are the things that allow me to buy happiness - not in what I purchased, but in the journey of finding the things to purchase. Digging through the bins at Goodwill Outlet and getting excited about what I find there, taking Molly to Subspace Comics and seeing her become more comfortable and excited with each visit... plus it all ties in to my next Personal Resolution...
  
• GET ME AND MY FAMILY OUT OF THE HOUSE MORE - The Pierce Family are a family of HERMITS. Every time our front door opens it's a chore, an every second we spend outside of our home is just a countdown till we can be back in our cave with our pants off. I want us to look forward to going out! I want to be okay with social interaction! I want us to embrace the local community instead of loathing it!

That's the five Personal Resolutions... more coming soon!

Oh come now... I know you've played enough games to realize how poorly worded and broken that particular resolution is! ANY resolutions??? This encompasses ALL RESOLUTIONS!!! You're taking on every resolution of ever other person as yoru own and vowing not to break any of them!

Need to issue an errata: My resolution is to neither assume nor break any resolutions that would be declared by me and only me"..

Ah, but I CAN'T break other peoples' resolutions. The only person who can break any valid resolution is the one who made it.

Tell that to the United Nations ;)
