resolutions: 2011 edition

The last time I made resolutions, it was the end of 2008.  I've since gone 2 for 4 on those resolutions, and one of them took me an extra year.  Here's what I resolve to do in the coming year (in no particular order):

  1. Take piano lessons and do at least one public performance (Rewind shows don't count).
  2. Participate in at least one submission wrestling tournament.
  3. Re-learn and improve the 540 kick (see this video).
  4. Take a dance class.
  5. Finish (version 1 of) the awesome chord-listening iPhone app I'm working on.
I think I can go 5 for 5 this time.  These are all extremely doable, like your mom.  Notice that I did not officially resolve to post more often to this blog, or learn to snowboard, or learn to ride a bike, or learn Portuguese, or learn Chinese, or read more books, or play more video games, even though these are all things I want to do.  You have to make cuts somewhere.

I also didn't include any work-related resolutions, because they are top-secret.  And because we already have a similar process, except they actually hold you to it.
