How Successful Was He…?

I dug up Christopher’s post from last year listing his top ten New Years Resolutions for 2006, and since 2006 is now coming to a close, I figured I’d give them a quick peek and see how well he did…

10. Post at least twice a week on Chris vs Chris

Hrmmm. No. He didn’t accomplish this one. BUT… he did redesign the entire site twice, created two brand new websites as gifts for me, and taught himself how to use Actionscript 3. So we’ll cut him some slack on that one…

9. Visit my family and friends in PA more often.

Well… he went once last year (at Christmas) and once this year (for Christmas again), so I can’t say that’s “more often.” It was “more often” than the previous year when he didn’t even go back once… however, his parents did invite us to join them in Hawaii this past summer and Christopher said he couldn’t take the time off work… so hrmm… I don’t think we can give him this one.

8. Go to the Penn State / Notre Dame Game

Nope. This one is somewhat connected to #9, and it didn’t happen. I did invite him to the USC/Cal game, but he declined. So he’s not getting any effort points for this one.

7. Not lose my temper with Christine

Definitely not. He lost his temper with me a total of 360 days last year– which is practically impossible since I spent a lot of time in Canada last year and wasn’t even around to piss him off.

6. Learn to program in JAVA

Well… he didn’t exactly learn JAVA, but he learned FLASH and began reading about a bunch of other programming languages, so I’ll give it to him.

5. Eat more Veal, maybe even kill my own baby cow and freeze it

Thank God no.

4. Gain 5 pounds and go to the gym four times a week

He did gain weight and is working out, so even though it’s not at the gym, this one he can have.

3. Attempt to avoid making Christine insanely emotional

Nope. he made me very emotional on several occasions. However, he may have “attempted” and not “succeeded.” I have to admit he did do much better in 2006 with this than he did with 2005 though… so … on second thought, he can have this one.

2. Take some big chances and then smile if they don?t pay off.

Yes. He has… and while the smiling part might have come after a few frowns, the boy has the right attitude and ambition. I’m actually very proud of him. And I’m confident that if anyone can make some of these things happen, it’s Christopher.

1. Avoid any stabbings from Christine in 2006

No stabbings this year… so I guess he succeeded on the most important one. I’m looking forward to next year’s resolutions…
