well i dont even know where to start or why Im even writting this

I havent been doing shit with anything, i only go to 2 night classes a week and the rest of the time Im laying down in bed doing nothing productive, then the weekend comes and i go out and get all kinds of drunk, but then i dont even have fun doing it anymore, i just go out to have some people interaction you know? ee my old friends and shit, but the thing they are so fucked up in drugs or just live to party and drink and i used to be like that but i dont even enjoy that anymore. So I kinda feel like i dont even like my friends anymore, and the other all went away to college some years ago, and because i was so into partying in high school i never cared for grades there for i didnt get to no university and im here stock in community college, which i only started to take serius a year ago

Im getting fat, im getting a beer belly and i hate it but i dont do shit to stop it, just i think that sucks. I used to enjoy playing soccer so much and playing tennis and i dont ever do it because im so lazy or im hangover and it pisses me off.

I had a gf for like 2.5 years and I havent been able to find someone to really date date ever since we broke up almost 2 years ago, I have dated 3 chicks since then but it just doesnt click i dunno it doesnt work out or i just dont feel the same, and to make matters worst that ex sent me a messgae the other day after not talking to her for oevr a year and told me to call her, I wasnt going to, but today idk i was feeling so weird and i called her to see wtf, and it looked like she just wanted to know what i had been up 2, but just in like the friend way, like wanting to know about my life and shit and then she started to talk about her current bf and asked me if i had a gf and i wa slike wow wtf... felt weird.. now idk i kinda feel sad idk or just weird, wished i didnt call her. She seem to ave her life all figured out and she looked like she was so happy and she knew what she wanted and howm and that she just had a grat life

I decided to quit poker and quit thinking i could make money on it, im just a retarded fish that doesnt have what it takes to be winning player. Today i was so exited to play the sunday tournaments, to get bust out in some stupid mistakes. I won like 2k in MTTS but really lost like 6k if i count everything.

So I decided, my life needs to change right now, no more of this bullshit, starting tomorrow Im going to make some changes.

1-Have a regular sleep schedule, go to bed 2 am latest wake up 9 am latest.
2- Look for a part time job in something realed to my studies ( civil engineer technology)
3-Start running everyday and working out
4-stop smoking
5-study hard for my 2 classes to get As and do all the projects and stuff myself ( lol before i had my sister do everything for me)
6-Start eating right, no sodas or fast food,
7-cut down on my drinking, maybe stop drinkin beer.
8-Do something productive during the day, if Im not working yet.
9- Try to find a nice gf, and quit fucking this girl that has a bf.
10- I want to get closer to my sprituality, maybe Give religion a try, try to get closer to God or something meaningfull in life
11- Stop complaining, and start fixing.
12-start playing soccer and tennis again

SO Yeah pretty hard list, but Im gonna do my best to accomplish this. I think it will be for the better and hopefuly it will make my life happier.
If anyone is interested I will keep updated or something

I think stopping smoking and reducing beer intake until it doesn't affect your physique to be two of the more important goals. Eating right also. If you try to exercise, and stop your physically destructive habits, and improve your educational habits, and change your attitude, it just won't happen over night. Success in a few areas (such as the ones I mentioned above) will hopefully lead you to success in most of the other areas over time.

heh, Inspired by you (thanks a huge bunch!) I decided to make some changes too. This blog really caught me, it wasn't a "deep" thing but just the effort you're doing to make your life a better one.

Thanks for inspiring me, I kind of owe you a lot.

I really glad to hear that you are doing this. One of your goals should be to find some motivated, driven people, and become friends with them.

The right group of friends will help you achieve your goals. It will be a lot harder if you don't put yourself in an environment that pushes you.

mAKiTO,

Sounds like we're in somewhat of the same situation. I had a lot of these goals in mind I just never wrote them down on a piece of paper. There must be an easier way to execute these things, so that you're constantly reminded and motivated to keep going.

I also need to
1) quit drinking (heavily)
2) quit smoking
3) start running
4) start playing basketball
5) start going into work early
6) focus on my studies
7) make up to my girlfriend for all the shit i put her through

That is all.

Go for it mate. As lots of others have said, don't expect things to change overnight. Small things. Little steps at a time. Try to set realistic goals in your head at the start of each day and tell yourself, I am going to f-ing do it. Good job on quitting poker btw. I'd suggest not to turn to religion though. There is no need for you to lose yourself that way. As long as you believe in yourself, that's all the faith you need.

Keep us posted!

I remember reading this poem before, Don't Quit, I cried then, and cry now and get angry or ashamed at myself for all of sudden stopping all the goals I set for myself or realizing I missed yet another opportunity.



But, no matter what, I guess the best thing to do is to keep going.

Eh, sorry if this more of me talking about myself, but watch the video or read the poem, I really like it!

Another inspiration song.

mAKiTO FIGHTING!~ ^^

When your goals start feeling daunting and you're over the high of changing your life, remember what Rocky said:

"Going in one more round when you don't think you can - that's what makes all the difference in your life. "
