2006. Oh boy. What fun. x.x;;;;

So let's hope this new year isn't as crappy as the last one was.


And now, my list of Big Goals in 06.

#5: Try to go to as many cons as possible, and spend time with all my friends. And meet new people, like Shun, Kenjiro, and his friend Nicki. And get to know people I only shortly met, like Seth and Enya. And have fun times with the likes of Phlinx, Danzig, Marzgurl, and the rest. Already, I'm going to Ushicon. Shiokaze is unknown right now. AKon is a definete yes, as that con rocks. Going to AX for the first time with Kaylyn and Andrew and others, and anyone else that's there. (and while there, try to avoid as much drama and conflict with anyone from Chicago that might hate my guts in the process) AFest is boring, but we found good ways of entertaining ourselfs. Oni is always good. And this new con I found, Shimakon, down in South Padre. Can't go wrong with Padre in September. b^^ I just wanna spend as much time as I can with my friends, especially since I live so far away, and can't see them that often.

#4: The whole relationship aspect of things. I'll be 25 soon, and I haven't had a girlfriend, or date for that matter, since I was 18. That's depressing and sad. And thus, is something I need to fix ASAP. I have high hopes with Nicki, but who knows. Then, there's all these other girls I would so totally go out with, if circumstances were different. If Bunny-Chan wasn't 15; If Tala didn't hate me; If Scrangie wasn't engaged; If Danzig was a chick. Wait....scratch that last one... =P But yeah. Then, when I find this special someone, be the best I can for them.

#3: Try to come in to some money. I see this happening one of three different ways. First, I applied for that show Deal or No Deal. And seriously.....I wouldn't be all greedy, and go for the million or whatever. I'm perfectly content getting like 20-30k, and coming back and setting my life straight. Yeah, a million would be nice and all, but realistically thinking, 20-30k is just fine for me. Plus meeting Howie Mandell, and being on TV... Always awesome there.. XD Second, the World Series of Poker. Either April or May starts the qualifiers to that on the sites I play on. 2 years ago, I almost made it. Last year, I tanked. This year, I've been playing some halfway decent poker, so I think I might have what it takes to make it to Vegas. And ultimately, again, I'm being realistic. I know there's NO way in hell I'll win that thing. (and i think 1st place prize is gonna be like 10 million or something....) I just wanna go to go, and try to get thru the first day. To me, that would be a personal accomplishment. And I'm not taking the Steve Dannenmann approach either. My only goal is to make it thru Day One. Then go from there. And if I win any money, awesome. If not, I'm not gonna be depressed, cause I got to go for free kinda, so it's all good. ^^ Now the third way I want to come to some money is the route I don't really want to take, but know I have to. Get a loan for 15000 bucks, and use that to pay off the credit cards, then just pay the loan back over 3 or 4 years. Again, not something I really want to do, but something that needs to be done.

#2: Move out of my parents house. Move back to Texas. I don't know where or with who, but yeah. Whether it's with Kim and Geoff in Austin, with Kaylyn and Andrew in SA or anywhere else, or I don't know. I just know I want to get out of Chicago, and go back south. I'm almost 25.....I shouldn't still be living at home. And also, at some point, I know I need to go back to college. But I'll worry about that later.... I have a lot of other stuff I have to worry about first.

#1: Get the damn debt under control. Hence why #3 kinda becomes important... ^^;;;


Seriously, if I get like hella money in either the WSOP or on that tv show, then the moving just moved up from sometime over the summer to a lot sooner. And the more money I have, the more cons I can go to, and more partying with friends I can do.

So one way or the other, all 5 things are connected.


I just hope that on January 1st 2007, I can say my life really has changed for the best.

So again... Let's hope 2006 is better than 2005 was.
