If you're like Jenn and I you spent a lot of the late 90's and early 2000's in love with Friends. I know we both have watched most of the episodes but we were both going through Junior High and High School when the show was on so we definitely didn't watch all of it. At the start of 2015 Netflix added all ten season to their streaming service and so Jenn and I made it our "fill in" show for much of last year into the first month of 2016. 

I had a couple of vacation days that I had to use this year so I took the week of Christmas off. Although I spent much of the break playing Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and spending time with Jenn I did get a chance to take two hours out of my vacation to watch the Netflix movie, Beasts of No Nation. The movie stars Idris Elba as a war lord in an unknown country in Africa and a boy Agu played by Abraham Attah.

At the end of 2015 Jenn and I spent most of December finishing our 12 Days of Christmas Movies which we successfully completed. However during the nights we weren't watching Love Actually or Miracle on 34th Street we watched the 10-episode first season of The Man in the High Castle on Amazon. Of any show this year, The Man in the High Castle had a premise that hooked me before I watched a minute of the show. The show is based off the famous Phillip K. Dick novel of the same name which explores a world in which the Nazi's and Japanese won World War II. 

Another year and another evening of Jenn and I watching The Golden Globes. The Golden Globes are always an interesting award show. I'm not sure anyone takes them seriously and that might be why we enjoy them so much. That and they welcomed back Ricky Gervais for the forth time who absolutely crushed it in both his opening monologue and his brief snippets throughout the show. I still cannot believe how much NBC had to bleep out of the show this year. Maybe it's time they drop the filter?

I have a confession to make. It may revoke any chance I have at a true "geek" card. But I feel like this may be the safest place to share this. I've never actually watched five of the six episodes of Star Wars. I've seen bits of pieces. I think I know the highlights. Darth Vader is Luke's father. I got that much. I remember seeing Episode III in theaters with Jenn and her family in San Diego. Otherwise I'm not sure I've actually seen a full Star Wars movie. But with all the hype going into Star Wars: The Force Awakens I had to drag Jenn to see what all the fuss was about.

Last year was the first year that I've published my personal goals/resolutions on my blog. Most years I will jot down some ideas on my phone or a notepad and then forget about it. The hope of posting it here is that it will hold me more accountable to actually achieving these goals for myself. This year I'm making a slight change to what I did last year. Most of my goals in 2015 didn't have actual targets, instead more lofty ideals. So this year for the majority of my goals I have quantifiable targets that I hope to achieve. So here we go 2016 lets make this happen.
