GOOD INTENTIONS [2009] - RESULTS

Resolutions [2009] - Results




Guys, although this year I have not updated monthly, is the time of the final outcome of my "Resolutions" for 2009!

To avoid a huge post, will not copy here the resolutions themselves, but I will describe the progress step by step. If you want to review in detail what I had thought to do, go to the POST original January 2009.
Now let's begin!


2009 Good Intentions


The list this year is, first of all, divided into macro-areas. Each of them has more internal divisions and different objectives.


SELF-IMPROVEMENT
self-improvement

Under this heading are listed all the goals whose attainment was the ultimate goal to improve myself in general, so in terms of physical , psychological and character.

  • back into shape - The sudden beginning of my tironcinio at BlackFox Dynamics forced me, around the month of March, to stop the courses of CKM , the only physical activity they perform. I then spent the summer in almost complete inactivity, although the fact that I eat little during the hot season has helped me to not result in obesity. In September I started swimming lessons and a few months of training, about three times a week has increased my muscle tone, in addition to teaching the discipline in itself! However, the winter has ruined everything, and even though I had reached 56 kg (Target was 53) during the summer, now weight of 64 kg, one more than my highest ever achieved! The weight, however, is to be assessed on the basis of increased muscle mass and the measurements done quickly on a scale of 50 years ago (found by my grandmother). :-P Regardless of the further and future evaluations, the goal is to be declared at the moment FAILED.

  • IMPROVE MY POWER - I managed, with tremendous effort to dramatically reduce my use of sweets, from which I was morbidly employee. Now I eat a quarter of those who consume above. I introduced into my diet a MINIMUM of vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes and potatoes in particular). Because of my inability to eat fruit, I cover this lack making extensive use of 100% fruit juices. These changes were sufficient to restore my natural regularity (alas it is real) and significantly improve the quality of my life. As for salt, however, the struggle has been harder. I decreased its use of only 25%. Unfortunately, around the month of October, I found the Kebab. For a month I have been drugged and this meant that (despite what vegetables contain) my diet is enriched with ciunto and other unidentified substances. Objective PASS TO 50% .

  • ELIMINATE (or, more likely, reduce) SOME OF MY MOST 'roots "PARE" - I predicted that this would be the most difficult, but it was not so! In particular, I spoke to crack down on my germofobia winter and my intolerance of the kind cinematorgrafico "splatter". I have been very successful in both fields. As for the germofobia, I limited my intake of certain protective vitamin ampoules, eliminating behavioral precautions such as refuse to be in the company of people who are ill or recovering from, always carry with me the Amuchina gel, etc. .. I think always makes sense to avoid the forced presence of people who can spread the disease, but if they remain at a safe distance (a meter required) tolerates its presence at my table even if they are sitting in front of me. I developed a fairly good confidence in my immune system, so as to meet the challenge of "Swine" (H1N1) vaccine despite its refusal was offered to me! For these reasons, I believe the goal REACHED.


  • BECOME MORE 'Sociable - To understand the point, I suggest you read about the original file. It was still in my integration into society. As expected, I continued my training with some success. I tried to socialize with strangers and semi-strangers in a credible way, even experimenting with different degrees of acting. With some, indeed, I pretended to be temperamentally very different from my real nature, and I found a reasonable degree of credibility. I supported conversations "politically correct" and purely "pleasantries" with people I met little-known street or on the train. I learned to ask of their lives pretending to be really concerned and, in general, to carry on a conversation occasionally. This, however, I find it only when they are alone or when I'm in the mood. If any of my buddies watching me, the greatest difficulties. Also continues to have problems talking to complete strangers met on the street. More work is needed on this. On the other hand, I learned to mingle quite well with a social group previously established by simulating or visibly expressing interest in a common topic or evidence affable and inclined to chat. I think the goal REACHED 75%.



UPGRADE
Update

Under "Upgrade" is collected consisting of the objectives they want to achieve ability to extend my skills in new areas.


  • IMPROVING IN MATHEMATICS - I checked my total inability to understand math and each discipline has something to do with numbers. Try again in 2010, but for now the goal is be considered FAILED.

  • LEARN SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SCIENCE - LEARN SOME BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS AND SCIENCE - Using some videos on youtube I learned basic life skills that have increased my ability to use and repair software, but the 'PC hardware remains a mystery to me. There are too many small parts and too many names to learn. The same applies to the internal combustion engine, whose operation I have not fully understood. I learned how to change a low beam, but I can not do much more. The same applies to the principles of science. Objective FAILED.
  • USE THE LEFT HAND - Um ... with the passage of time, I forgot! :-P We aim POSTPONED TO 2010!

  • LEARN TO SWIM - Objective ACHIEVED!

  • LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF SIGNS - Objective POSTPONED. I have been unable to find such a course nearby!



EXPERIENCE
Experience

The "Experience", still under construction, collect the things I want to do to experience the least once in my life.

  • Volunteering - Objective FAILED. Beyond my commitment with Avis, I have joined with other volunteer organizations.

  • FIND A TEMPORARY JOB - I managed to make me pay for the internship, even though I have not pursued further. We say objective REACHED TO 50% .


This is it, folks! This year I've gotten no very well, even if the targets were tough enough. I will try to improve in 2010. In the early days of the new year, released the new list of resolutions! Stay tuned! :-P

SATURNALIA

Saturnalia.


PENNY: Hey, Sheldon, Leonard and you do the Christmas tree?
SHELDON: No, why not celebrate the ancient pagan festival of Saturnalia.
PENNY: Saturnalia?
SHELDON: pre-Christian era, while the winter solstice approached and the plants died, the pagans wore sprigs of evergreens into their homes as a benevolent spell, intended to protect the lifeblood of the plants until spring.
This custom was later endorsed by the peoples of Northern Europe, and eventually became the so-called "Christmas tree".

[...]

SHELDON: You've bought a gift?!?!
PENNY: Yes
SHELDON: Why did you do such a thing?
PENNY: I do not know ... because it's Christmas?
SHELDON: Oh, Penny! So you think you are generous, but the foundation of the exchange of gifts and reciprocity. Do not you have given me a gift, you gave me a commitment!
PENNY: Hey, it's okay, do not give me anything in return.
SHELDON: Of course I have! E 'at the base of the custom which I now must go out and buy a present value that represents the same proportion and perceived level represented by the gift of friendship that you gave me.
... I do not surprised that the suicide rate and excitement in this time of year!


The Big Bang Theory S02E11
- The Bath Gift Item Hypothesis




PENNY: I love decorating the Christmas tree ... It makes me feel a child again.
LEONARD: When I was little, our house did not the tree.
PENNY: Really? And why not?
LEONARD: In my family as you celebrate the holidays were studied for their psychological and anthropological implications on human society.
PENNY: It sounds cheerful. At least you exchange gifts?
LEONARD: In a way ... It presents essays written by us. Then we divided into discussion groups and criticized each other's work.

[...]

PENNY: What?
SHELDON: You're kidding, right? It 'a bust of Sir Isaac Newton!
PENNY: Oh, sure, right. Great Christmas!
SHELDON: Hey, sorry lot, but Christmas is more of everything you've put on the tree.
December 25, 1642 of the Julian Calendar, Sir Isaac Newton was born. Jesus, however, actually originated in the summer. On the day of his birth was moved to coincide with the traditional pagan celebration in which celebrated the winter solstice, lighting fires and cutting the throat of kids. Which, actually, it seems much more fun than 12 hours to church with my mother, followed by a simple cake with dried fruit.



S03E11 The Big Bang Theory - The maternal congruence



Guys, this year Christmas has been for me another day ... even one of the best, actually.
who follows me from the beginning will recall that some years it is. In this period - and, in particular, Dec. 25 - builds a strong negative for me! I can not spend Christmas decent, short, and now I fear the date as a Friday 17. :-P Not being particularly
sided with the Christians, nor with the Catholics, I suppose that would be pretty hypocritical for me to celebrate Christmas with something more than the traditional tree and the crib that my mother continues to do each year tradition . Let's say I do not understand so much the holidays and it seems a bit 'like the Valentine's Day an excuse to sell crap and give a sort of cleared his conscience.
Christmas, as I see it, is a bit 'as a condiment ... Who cares about the family for 364 days a year can pretend that they care more for the lunch on 25 and think be in place as well. They gather around the table all the relatives and even those who pretend to hate each other wish well for a few hours. It 's a "traditional pantomime, well ... And I do not understand it completely. At the end of the day, almost everyone comes to hate Christmas because people spent three days out in the cold to buy dozens of gifts, because those who spent three days cooking and cleaning house, because those who had other commitments but had to follow the tradition and was forced to join the party, who feels guilty for having eaten too much and he knows that will have to struggle to dispose of, etc ...
E 'requirement that I do not understand ... By now everyone knows that December 25th is an ancient pagan festival, not the real "birthday" of Jesus Christ, so also the religious motivation is not. It celebrates the "Family", but many are unwilling, to cleanse the conscience or "obligation." So what's the point? For this reason I say that Christmas is a bit 'as Valentine's Day is a day that is celebrated as an obligation - and no other logical reason - a value (family / love) that really should be celebrated with the same spirit of each other 364 days!
Again, everything is reversed in this world that turns the wrong way: we should be Christmas every day of the year except one, if ever. Not just the memories of his family, needy and the warmth of only once a year in a random day! It 'stupid. Christmas can be an opportunity to come together and celebrate those values, but on the evening of 25 you should come to hate the holidays. Otherwise it means that something went wrong. Better to have your Christmas December 27 and really celebrate, rather than doing anything to celebrate the 25th and come to hate him.
Moreover, if what really matters is family and love, then Christmas is just when we are all people we care ... which is December 25, January 4 or Aug. 7.

This year I tried but I could not ... I can not "hear" Christmas as I used to ... But I'll try again next year! Promised! :-)
