I was lame. She said yes, but we agree it was horrible.

Hey… Celui-là est réalisé ;)

I can’t make this a goal, because I don’t plan to make my suster die, even though I’d applaud if it did happen. No, I’m just going to wait until it happens and then, I’ll go piss on her grave. Until now, I will just forget her.

I haven’t had a day off for 2 weeks and only one day off in the last 4 weeks. I won’t have a day off until I quit my current job, which will happen as soon as my new employer makes me an acceptable offer for me to go work there full time.

How’s that for getting out of my confort zone? I want my life to get better eventually, so I’m willing to pay the price, to make the needed sacrifices, to help myself. Working hard is one of them. I was lazy before, that’s why I have so many debts. I can’t be lazy anymore.

This goal cannot be achieved, as it is a state of mind that I must keep on having rather that something I have to achive, so I’ll cross it out of my goals, but even so, I believe I will never lose my sense of wonder, life is too weird, incredible (as an atheist, it’s even better than when I believed in god) and the enormity of the universe and what is included in it is simply amazing.

I don’t think I am close-minded, au contraire. A few years ago, I was telling to a friend that I thought I was too open-minded. She agreed. I’ve changed some of my opinions about radical thinking, but I’m still open to about almost anything.

About the listening part, my post title says what I think most people do. I sometimes wander in my thoughts when I should be listening, but when I do, I get the person to repeat because I consider that whatever someone says to be is important. I don’t think there is anything more I can do more, so I consider this goal completed.

41- The Montréal Canadiens winning the Stanley Cup (well, it happened 24 times already…)
42- The Toronto Maple Leafs sucking.
43- Scoring a great goal on NHL 2K7 while playing with either Mathieu or Gabrielle.
44- Eating fondue.
45- Solving the cube in front of someone for the first time.
46- Cuddling.
47- Bringing my loved-one a hot cup of coffee without her having asked for it.
48- Getting surprises.
49- Thinking that Gabrielle is pregnant (she wasn’t but it did make me ver happy).
50- Assembling furniture, LEGO models or anything that needs assembling.

31- To give presents to the ones I care about.
32- Getting good service at a restaurant.
33- Going to the movies.
34- Being complimented on the way I look.
35- Knowing that at least once, the account lady at the office had sexual fantasies about me :-)
36- Getting a smile from an acquaintance in the bus or metro.
37- Closing a sale.
38- Getting ready to go out with my girlfriend. I love those moments when we step on each other’s toes in the bathroom in front of the mirror to get ready to go to a party or diner.
39- The Montréal Canadiens winning a game.
40- The Montréal Canadiens winning a series.

21- Feeling needed.
22- Opening the package of something I just got.
23- Reading a good story.
24- Being myself.
25- Self-awareness and believing in myself. I did a total turn-around in my life exactly 3 years ago. This is a special day for me. I started to love myself and believe in myself 3 years ago today. Yay me!
26- Knowing that whatever happens, I’m able to deal with it and get over it.
27- Meeting new people and connecting with them instantly.
28- Getting presents for my birthday.
29- Getting presents for Valentine’s day (except for that one time…)
30- Getting a postcard from a friend.

I’m gonna file this one as completed. It is impossible to “stop” procrastinating, but I have become good at doing the things I have to do when I need to do them.

I still procrastinate on some things, important ones as well as trivial things, but I do not want to stop living just because I have some things to do. The key here is choosing when to procrastinate and when not to.

Done.

I’m abandonning this goal. I don’t have to forgive. I also realixed recently that I do judge a lot less than before, I try to understand people instead of judging, but I don’t have to forgive. Forgivness has to be earned. I’d rather have a goal that said : Judge less, understand more.

I was informed yesterday that my manager and store directors want to have me as a team leader / supervisor on a full-time basis at my new part-time job. I’ve workd there for only 6 days spanned on 3 weeks and already they are making me an offer for this job! I must be doing something right!

Funny thing is, I applied there not really thinking it was a good option for me, but it’s THE place I ought to be right now. I feel my work is appreciated, I enjoy working with my co-workers, even if they are mostly half my age.

I am surprised, I didn’t think an offer would come so fast. They are supposed to call me today to let me know when they want to meet me to make an affoer for my services. It’s time for me to make my best sales pitch ever, because this time, it’s myself that I’ll be seeling for a new salary with new conditions and a new, improved statu in the company. W00T!

This goal is somewhat blurry to me, or it was. I always viewed it as a challenge to challenge myself, but it was never something precise, rather a goal to do more (but more what?)...

But as I’m getting more and more clear on what is wrong in my life, I’m also finding that the way of correcting the issues I have is to change the thing that brings the more security to me, my job.

Changing jobs is stressful, it’s scary. I’ve got a super-easy job paying near 30k a year, but it has no challenge at all and I won’t have any kind of promotion here. The best I can hope for is a annual raise, which is a lot less than I’m capable of.

I didn’t know it a couple of years back, but I’m a fighter, I’m the guy who wants more, better, who’s willing to go to the front to take the hits if it means getting things done, gettings things right. My current job is the opposite. I sit at a desk most of the times, often alone in a store that is getting closer and closer to bankrupcy. I watch movies I download from the Internet, I come here, I read stuff on Wiki… Not at all challenging.

Getting out of my confort zone has become getting out of my job. At my new job (part time, but soon to be full time), I have to be active, I have to do all sorts of things, always standing, always challenged. It’s not my dream job, but it’s better, it’s good for my evolution. I’m still afraid of committing by quitting my easy 40 hours paid for 33 hours worked job at a better salary for this 40 hours paid of 40 hours hard-worked job that pays less, but that will get me to the manager job within a few years. Not knowing all the facts, it could seem foolish to do this change, but I know I’ve got to, even though I just started to pay a new debt of 2000$ and my GF is late…

I do hope she’s late for THE reason however, not just a false “alarm”...

I’ve got to do this change. But not hasting anything. I have set a date for my resignation. I’ll not be working at my current full-time job in 6 weeks.

And the new job will bring all sorts of other changes, since I’ll be working with young people full of life, it’ll energize me and help me get on with other projects, like getting in shape and stay a child at heart.

I got a new job for the holydays, a part-time job that may become a career if all goes well.

It’ll be a couple of weeks before I know exactly where this will lead, so for now, I’m going to keep working at my current job also. 2 jobs at once won’t be easy, but in the end, if all goes according to plan, I’ll switch to the other place without too much trouble and I’ll have achieved this goal.

I’m starting a new job tomorrow in which I may be promoted very quickly according on my performances and my leadership.

I trust myself, I am certain I will do well.

I did it twice in the past. It was all that you can expect it to be with two girls willing to have fun with each other as well as with you. Great memories.

My girlfriend and I have discussed it and it is likely to happen some day, but maybe not short term. You never know, if the proper circumstances come along…

I will never grow up, I just like being a kid too much, even though I’m going to be 31 in 3 weeks…

¸Even my GF tells me I’m like a kid most of the times, but I know when to act like a man also. The key is to know when it’s time to be serious.

This guy puts ti so perfectly, I wonder if God himself didn’t inspire his words… LOL!

I lost 17 pounds during the last 2 months, which is amazing considering I haven’t start an exercise program yet!

But I have let myself go lately, IMve been eating less and less healthy. I need to get back on track and lose some 40 pounds more.
