It doesn’t really matter what it is – I just had this urge for a long time to start building stuff. Never been the handy man but I’m not completely lost either around tools. I think I would like to do something that included electronics and perhaps soldering, I liked to do that in school. We got these boards we would then solder circuits on and I found it really relaxing and fun somehow.

Anyway just making an item that can be used for things and knowing I made it all by myself would be really cool. I’m also interested in “forging” things or what to call it. For example, since I don’t have a car yet and the distances aren’t too great around here, I’m thinking of converting my old bicycle to an electric one next year. It would be easy to get around without busting my ass off in order to do so. So it doesn’t always have to be things I built on my own, just projects that involves building or forging things. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodProgress is slow I suppose...

not that I really expect any results yet but still, unless the scale I’m using is way off, I’m down about 2 lbs. I might have lost like 1 lbs before even writing the first entry because I hadn’t checked my weight for a while, I just said approximately where I was while writing that. But it feels like a step in the right direction :)
I haven’t really changed around things that much yet besides from taking a couple more walks than usually and perhaps eating a little less between meals. 21 months ago

I live in Sweden. 21 months ago


GreenNimrodA slimmer me...

My current weight is around 185 lbs. I don’t think it’s that bad given that I’m a male and around 5’8 or 5’9 but there’s definately room for improvements here. I don’t have that much muscles so I think that dropping around 30 lbs would be perfect for me. I would get in better shape with proper exercise + food and I would also feel better about myself, I prefered when I was slimmer in my teens. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodBe the host of a great party

I’ve never hosted a proper party so it would be fun to do it sometime! Essential things would be nice people to invite and some good entertainment, good music is really important but karaoke or some similar activity could be fun also. Although I’m allergic to people that are more or less tone deaf so it might annoy me depending on who’s participating hehe.

I would also serve a lot of alcohol and snacks :)
This is a goal I might be able to finish once I have more friends. 21 months ago

Silly little goal for a FPS game I sometimes play. There’s all sorts of ranks there, major is one of the highest (as it also is IRL) and it gives you a lot of benefits to have achieved that rank. However it requires a lot of playing time and skills to get there but I’m slowly advancing when I have spare time, I think I might reach it in a couple of months. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodShort novel

Although I’m not writing a book yet (and don’t see myself even have time to do it in the near future), I’ve started writing on another short novel. I see it as practice while I’m at the same time having fun & letting my creative side show. 21 months ago


GreenNimrodCreate a song...

I have actually written a lot of songs by now and I even know how I want the music to be arranged to them. I just need to put it all together and record it, right now it’s just words scribbled down somewhere. I’m not great at singing but I think I’m decent and since I play instruments as well it shouldn’t be a problem. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodMaybe not today, maybe not tommorow...

but some day! I don’t think I’m ready yet to be in a commited relationship, at least it’s not something I’m searching for at the moment because I got some things to straighten out with my own life first. And I’m young, there’s plenty of time for that later. But if I do happen to meet that person, I’m not going to back out. I want to experience love and share my life with someone. As sad and problematic relationships sometimes can be, I think that love is one of the strongest and most important things in the whole world. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodEarn more money

I would like to earn enough money to be able to know that I will always get by without any problems, and hopefully also be able to afford some things I really want. My longterm goal is to get a good job but right now I think 1100-1200 euro a month would do, meaning I might need to find a part time job besides from studying in order to reach that amount. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodCreating a computer game...

I have actually created a computer game once – a simple pacman clone written in C++ using SDL for graphics. But that was for a task in school and ever since I have been trying to find the time to experiment with this on my own. Lately I made up my mind that the game I will be making is going to be a clone of Ludo and it will have network functionality so it can be played online. I choose Ludo for the simple reason that anything more advanced might take a very long time to develop and since it’s my first attempt at making an online game it should be something simple.

This will also be developed in C++ using SDL for graphics – I have started working on the project but so far I have only done some graphic work and made a test client/server to see that they will be able to connect to each other. There are still tons of code to write – game logics, handle all the network stuff etc etc. I will probably modify a lot of the code as the work progress as well, it’s been a while since I messed around with C++ and I can probably do some things more neatly. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodFinding new friends...

I have never been the person to have like literally hundreds of friends and honestly I wouldn’t want to either – I think a couple of really good friends are enough, you wouldn’t have time to really get to know so many people anyway or find time to engage yourself in their lives. However after I finished college and started studying at uni, I lost several good friends because either they moved or our contact started to degrade until the point where we never called each other or got together to do things.

So, with time I hope I can find some new friends. Male or female, either way is fine with me I had good friends from both genders. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodTravel outside europe

I haven’t been around all that much in Europe but I would like to travel more in the future if I have the means to do so. And some day I would like to leave Europe behind and go somewhere else, see what it’s like. Atm I’m thinking USA because I would like to visit it at some point in my life. Well this is a longterm goal as I will probably try to visit more countries in Europe first. 21 months ago

GreenNimrodWriting a book...

I have written lots of stuff over the years – short novels mostly but some other things as well. However I think none of them can be compared to writing a real book. I love the idea of creating my own story and its settings – I have tons of ideas but what I think is most tempting is to write a crime novel. I would have to make sure that everything adds up, I would try to surprise the reader with some twists in the plot etc. It’s probably harder to make a successful one than what I can imagine but who knows, maybe some day?

I’m not sure what time the story would play out though. Everything is so techy and complicated these days with DNA and a bunch of other traces that can be used, maybe it would be easier to base it on 19th/early 20th century and I wouldn’t have to deal with all that :) 21 months ago

GreenNimrodBe active on 43T

I joined this site to set up goals, try to achieve them and hopefully meet some nice people and cheer them on as well while doing that. So it seems like a good start to try & be active on 43T – I’m not going to decide on a certain time I should spend here every day or something like that but just try to visit the site on a regular basis. 21 months ago
