What do you hope to achieve in 2011?

[josh pelican]

This isn't necessarily a New Year's resolution thread, but if you want to post it you can certainly do so. This thread is mainly focusing on one thing... what do you hope to achieve in 2011?

Is there a guitar you've been eyeing? Is there a tattoo you want? Is there someone you want to propose to? Talk about it here!

My goal is to get my Dingwall for E00. Yeah, my goal is to set up a bass for an octave lower. I also intend on coming to you fine people with three (yes, THREE) NGD threads. I hope to buy a Dingwall, a P-bass, and a new guitar. I also intend on buying a vehicle and maybe another cabinet. If not, I at least intend on fixing my SVT-VR.

It would be nice to be in a band again, especially one that won't fuck me over, but that's too much to ask for. I want to play shows and tour.

I would like to move out at some point and buy a 120/125 gallon aquarium, and a 55 for dwarf lionfish.

It's a lot to hope for, but if I keep working the way I'm working now it shouldn't be a problem. Every paycheck is a good $1,000 or more.

What about you, SSO? Tell me what you're hoping to do in 2011!

 

[MintBerryCrunch]

im getting my first 8 string tomorrow. so i hope to be phenomenal at it by my birthday (July) and i hope to start school again and get happy in my living situation.

 

[Chickenhawk]

I want to record AT LEAST a 5 song demo with Infinity Complex (heavy prog project).
HOPEFULLY get a lineup together for Nihilistic Desecration (brutal death metal).
Another NGD or two.
Finish building my rig.

Build a sandrail with a turbo charged EcoTec 2.2l engine (pushing for ~400hp).

I also hope to NOT contract an STD...that's my biggest goal.

 

[JeffFromMtl]

I have a lot of plans for '11.

1. Not fucking up at school again
2. Working on pushing myself harder and generally taking things more seriously.
3. Moving out in July
4. Selling my car (since I'll be downtown come July) to start putting together an apartment-friendly recording space (AxeFX, etc.)
5. Putting a neck pickup in my SC-608B and possibly re-finishing it in that classic SC green or natural.
6. Starting to work on my left sleeve in July. It was supposed to happen at the beginning of this month, but had to re-schedule due to circumstances outside of my control.
7. Hitting the gym more regularly/consistently.

 

[Adam Of Angels]

Im usually pretty well secretive of my plans, but here they are.

Move back up North to write the first Of Angels album.
Eat a strict, nearly vegetarian diet.
Build more muscle than I've ever had.
Address any health issues.
Move to Seattle about mid-year.
Play a lot of music

 

[vampiregenocide]

General:
- Get a steady, fairly good paying job that I like, start investing in my future and get it on track
- Do more freelance photography work
- Get a nice girl
- Sort my head out

Guitar/Music-wise:
- Get a new guitar (Hopefully an 8 string in Feb)
- Get recording sorted
- Start band



None of this will happen.

 

[techcoreriffman]

1. Move out of my shitty home.
2. Get my first real job.
3. A Horizon, a Fireball, and an Avatar.
4. A car.
5. Not die.

 

[josh pelican]

2. Get my first real job.

Try getting into a hospital! You could apply for Porter Services.

 

[Grand Moff Tim]

I'll wrap up my BA in May, hopefully. Then I'mma get my TEFL/CELTA/TESOL (whichever, really) cert and get out of the country for a few years.

 

[SirMyghin]

Finish my Master's. Everything else is secondary.

 

[teqnick]

1. Start my sound engineering program at a different school
2. Hold onto one guitar and amp and hammer away at playing, seriously lock myself in seclusion for a good year.
3. Have mad sex (hard to achieve this one and number 2 at the same time, but It can be done.)
4. Get that glurp

 

[TheWreck]

Have my buisness growing strong! My life is now devoted to that!

 

[Xodus]

Cut down on the delicious unhealthy foods, exercise more (or at all), get a job, start applying myself in school, learn to play guitar better, stop just talking/thinking about it and record something.

 

[Thep]

First thing on my mind is raising my GPA.

Next is finish up recording the EP me and my drummer have been working on since July.

I'm starting a guitar club at my university, and with the staff connections that I have working as an AV technician, I hope to seriously fuck some shit up as president of the guitar club. I got lots of plans for it to be badass.

I'm taking weight lifting classes next semester, and hope to get sexy(er).

Start a Roth IRA. Already got $1000 saved, now to build an emergency fund of maybe 600 or so. Don't laugh; on-campus wages suck, I have lots of my own expenses, and resisting GAS is a bitch.

Get more death metal band Tshirts, for cheap.
