It's late but I was in Taiwan so that's my excuse. Last year I made 26 resolutions. Let's see how I did:

-Reach 7% body fat or lower - FAIL
-Be able to do 75 pushups in one session - FAIL (I got up to 70 though)
-Be able to do horizontal splits - FAIL
-Weigh no more than 155lbs - FAIL (Taiwan got me up to 163)
-Make 2 youtube videos a month - FAIL
-Make at least 3 Avenger Initiative blog posts a week - FAIL
-Make at least 1 Big Wanger blog post a week - FAIL
-Earn $100 over the internet by selling shirts, advertisements, ebay, scams, or whatever - FAIL
-Sell my Transformers toy collection on ebay - WIN! (I sold them for about $120)
-Go snowboarding at least once - FAIL
-Go swimming for fun - WIN! (Elitch Gardens)
-Listen to all the audio books I’ve burned - FAIL
-Find a part time job during the Spring semester - FAIL
-Study ahead in class - FAIL

-Don’t get into a car accident - WIN! (I hit a curb when it was snowy though)
-Stand in front of an audience without acting stupid - FAIL
-Consume zero alcoholic beverages or chocolates - FAIL (Why did I put chocolate in the same category as alcoholic beverages?)
