New Football Year's Resolutions

So...football season is nearly over, huh? My, my...where has the time gone? Seems like only 6 months or so ago that his whole thing started. I guess it's time to start preparing my list of things to do now that football is going away.

1. Get un-fat.

I'm already working on it, but seriously. When did I get so tubby? It sort of looks like I swallowed an inner tube filled with gravy. Ugh.

2. Become a sudoku master.

I don't really have anything else to do. Putting those little numbers in their rightful homes gives a man the feeling of achievement. Like building a gazebo.

3. Build a gazebo.

It's dude stuff. Hammer, nails, shingles...that sort of thing. Might score some points with the ladyfriend while I'm at it.

4. Start watching college basketball.

Look, football...it ain't. However, if I want to make a good showing in the NCAA Tournament pools, I need to have a solid knowledge base. I can't consume CBB with the same veracity that I do CFB, but one game a week shouldn't be too much to ask. 

5. Aimlessly flip channels when college basketball gets boring.

Because, come on. Regular season college basketball? 

6. Finish a book

Admittedly, it's been a while since I finished one. With football gone, I think I can achieve that.

7. Star Wars Marathon (no Jar-Jar).

I haven't seen the original 3 in about a decade now. It's time.

8. Pick up that guitar

I've had the damned thing for something like, 12 years, and I still cant play it. I guess now is as good a time as any. You're never too old to learn something new, right?

9. Repair rage-broken guitar.

I will, inevitably, remember why I haven't learned to play it. Musical talent somewhere around a 2/10, fingers incredibly short, hands hobbit-small.

10. Give in and watch old football games

Yes, I know how it ends. No, that doesn't bother me. Not when it's June and I haven't had a hit since February.

11. Probably get fat again.
Let's face it. I get lazy and then football season starts and there's no TIME for working out then.

12. Weep openly.
This will probably happen sooner than later. I just miss football so damn much....*sniffle*

13. Get a real job.
This whole  full-time student thing has been great, but the government will be ceasing my GI Bill real soon. Really, I just need to make enough money to afford cable so that I don't miss any football games.

14. Visit a foreign country.
This one is a cop-out. The trip is already planned. I just needed something to cross off.

15. Go fishing.
I didn't go even once last off-season. This year will be different.
