I think I'm going to do this, but first I need to think about the goals.

Need to think of goal things. What to do, what to do...

I guess making one of my goals "Think up Twelve Behemoth list" would be a bit of a cop-out.

Oh man, missed last years version of this thread, so now i'm totally going to jump in on the fun. Finding 12 goals is probably going to be a bit hard, but let's see if it isn't possible, in no particular order:

Spoiler: IT BEGINS (click to show/hide)

Well, only 8 goals for now. Fortunately, 2015 is still VERY young, and i will probably add the last 4 goals as i think of them.

I can't think of twelve, but whatever. Here goes.


So, yeah. Pretty generic at this point. I have to start somewhere. New issues will crop up along the way, though. By the end it should be a bountiful harvest. 7. Stop mixing metaphors.

Alright, I'm game. Learning a bit from last year, I'm going to post my draft now. I'll consider it finalized in a week, and will update this post accordingly. It's less wiggle-room, and more that I'm confident I've forgotten something important due to fatigue.

This is the list, and it stays that way! Unless I need a reroll >________>

Thanks for running this again, Vector.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I ought to do this too.

Not as hard to come up with as I thought, though completing certain ones are going to take a bit of effort.

I've been doing something different as a form of resolution. Resolutions by cumulative statements (5-verse clusters, so far).

It has been reliable so far, since I first started, and been adding onto it since then as a snowballing resolution series: 5 years and still going.
r1 - "I Reject your reality and substitute my own."
   //Or simply put "Fuck everyone's opinion.". I took things too personally, this would stop it.
r2 - "I know what the fuck I am doing."
   //I'll believe in myself more and my own methods to my madness; higher chance of working anyhow; regardless how insane.
r3 - "Just who the hell do you think I am?"
   //Nothing will put me down anymore. I can accept hits when necessary, but I will never go down. Just as well; kick reason to the curb and do the impossible.
r4 - "It's best to cut our losses and move on..."
   //Good timing on this resolution, seeing as I lost 3 pets last year (1 dog, 2 cats; minimum of 5-10 years residing), along with my old job. Original intent was that I needed to stop being so uptight and such a perfectionist. Funny enough, allowing flaws back in made me more badass, get better times, and overall, made me handle losing, and unfortunate losses much better in the long run.
r5 - "No regrets: I will do what makes me happy."
   //I did my tenure of misery, let's cash this check, and see what all these "flaws/setbacks/misfortunes/calamities/un-cashed-in (intentionally rejected) miracles and favors (both a form of personal pride and challenge; no help from God, so to speak.)" can buy me (like a point-buy system; take a ton of crap so you can profit in benefits later. So misery now, peace of mind later. Now it's time for peace for me.). In other words, I no longer want to live a miserable hell of an existence. I'd rather go to Hell on my own terms; with a BFG9000 a super shotgun, and an absurd amount of ammo. And going to Hell as a form of recreation, not punishment. Just as well, I have my own method of running my freelancing I'm applying, and it shows promise.

So overall, my resolution for this year reads as:
Quote
I reject your reality, and substitute my own;
I know what the fuck I am doing. Just who the hell do you think I am?
It's best to cut our losses and move on...
No regrets: I will do what makes me happy.

Every resolution previously made spans the others as well, and are still in play. Only real catch is that the overall statement combined must retain some level of sense when spoken out, and can be followed like a credo. Make it sound like a prayer if you must.
