A Better Place

(via J.M.G.)

The Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield published this video a few days ago with the following clip description: "Our world is not as bad a place as we often feel it to be. It is easy to look to the future and lament how far there is left to go, but sometimes it is helpful to stop and reflect on just how far we've come. This New Years, my resolution is to help make our world a better place. What's yours?"

It's encouraging to know that there are good things happening in the world too. My New Years resolution will be the same as Chris's, although it may be on a much smaller scale.

New Year´s Resolution

Well it´s the end of 2010, high time to start thinking about my new year´s resolution.

What possible commitment can I make on reforming any habit or to an advantageous lifestyle change?

I smoke, but I am sure as hell not quitting that, at least not on New Years Day or the 5th of January. That will come when I am ready - someday. I love my job and my colleagues, so I a sticking with that too. But I could get more organized I suppose, both in my real life and in SecondLife. I could also try to get less irritated and grumpy, but thats just me being me and is sort of cute, or so my mother says because she knows it never really lasts that long.

OK, I will stick to the getting more organized I guess...

I hereby vow to get better organized in my real life, as a blogger and in my SecondLife. This commitment goes into effect on New Year´s day 2011.

Real life messes, this is the last warning! If you don´t go away when I look at you and think about you I´ll start spending an hour everyday to get rid of you.

SecondLife Inventory, I am not allowing you to grow anymore. You are going into boxes and folders or getting deleted. All the old dead landmarks, all the ugly stuff I never wear, all the shit I am carrying around without even knowing I have it,  out you go!
