Everyone seems to be posting their New Year’s resolutions, so I figured I would put mine out there so that I can hold myself accountable as well.

1. Generate a second stream of income – I really need to figure out a way to make an extra $2000 a month, ideally without putting in too much extra effort. Even if I change jobs such that I make an extra 24 grand a year, I would still like a second stream of income that is independent of my day job, as this is step one on the lifestyle design journey.
2. Fall in Love again – Obviously you can’t have a pickup blog that doesn’t at least involve one or two goals for ones love and sex life
3. Reach my optimal AI – My shoulders are currently only 40” around, but the goal is to get them to 53” around by the end of December. I don’t know if I can put on this much weight in 12 months, but that’s the goal.
4. Build a Blog Following – I would like to get my readership up, while maintaining the quality and loyalty of my readership. I envision a community similar to what Tim Ferriss has around his blog that includes people from all walks of life whom I ask questions and bounce ideas off of.
5. Go skydiving – Pretty self explanatory, but this is something I’ve been meaning to do.
6. Learn a Partner Dance Style – I am looking into Tango, Swing, Salsa, and a couple of others to decide which one I am interested in but I will learn some form of partner dance and ideally become a part of the subculture around it.
7. Travel to another country – I’ve had a lot of trouble getting friends to drop the cash for an international vacation, but this year I am going to take an international trip whether it’s with a friend or solo.
