Vershun’s Brain Dump

It’s that time again.

I like the idea of resolutions, I just don’t think they should have an expiration date of 1 month, (2-3 if you’re really motivated).

I suppose a little self reflection never hurt anyone (for the worse, at least).

Plus maybe I should make a few anyway. It’s supposed to be my “Golden Year” this year, being that I’m 23 and my birthday was on the 23rd (I’ve never heard of this shit until last November; it’s silly). Also 2008 is a pretty delicious number, and it won’t be for another 11 years where we’ll have a year that lacks an odd number.

I figure by actually documenting my resolutions I might be able to stick with them.

2k8 Resolutions

Most importantly: stop giving up on everything when something else comes along. This means you BMXing, skateboarding, working out, hiking, backpacking, swimming, rock climbing, ice climbing, lock picking, knife throwing, and knife flipping.

Trust more. I sincerely believe you cannot love someone without trust and respect. Show it.

Leave the country. It’s been far too long. You’re wasting away. Leave for a little, everything will be here when you get back.

Start doing your own projects again. Remember neural networks? Ant colony optimization? Genetic algorithms? Swarm intelligence? You didn’t lose interest; you got lazy when the principles got hard. Learn it.

Read more. You’re ignorant to what’s happening in the world.

Work out. Skinnyman.

Not too many this year but it should keep me busy. Hell the less you have the more likely you are to follow through eh?
