Welcome

before starting this entry, a question: is there a reason why the new year starts in january?  it's in the middle of the winter.  shouldn't the new year start at the beginning of a new season, at least?  i'd prefer the new year to start in the beginning of spring, but i'll take the BEGINNING of any season.  that makes sense to me, at least.  now onto the entry.

welcome 2014.  i have come up with a few new year's resolutions for this year.  but before i talk about those, i read my resolutions from last year.  i listed 2 and failed in both. =(

first, i am graduating with a 3.88 gpa, instead of 4.0.  i'll take it, though.

second, i didn't even buy a guitar.  so that one will get pushed back to this year.  i hope to buy a guitar sometime in april.  why april?  just wait. =)

so here's my resolutions for 2014.  there are 2 requirements.  first, it has to be concrete, not vague (e.g. be a better person, read more books, etc. is no bueno).  second, it has to benefit other people.  so here we go.

1. do something nice for my parents.  since both of my parents enjoy playing golf, i want to give them a chance to play golf at pebble beach.  i've looked into it and it's gonna be a few grand.  but it's a chance to play at one of the best golf courses in the world, so i'm gonna work on it.  maybe my siblings can help me out too.

2. learn to play 5 songs on the guitar, obviously.  5 songs: "sweet child o' mine," "faith," "if only," "all for you," and "사랑은 비를 타고."

3. learn to make 7 new dishes.  similar to #2, this will benefit my future gf/wife.  in addition, my future kids will benefit as well.

there are others, but i'll keep those to myself.  mostly b/c they're goals that are personal.  once i achieve them though, i'll write about it.

a great 2014 to us all. =)
