While 2009 was well-lived, it is now dead. Instead of reflecting back on the old, let’s neglect the deceased year altogether and focus on what we can do with brand-spanking new 2010! Using this new year as a blank time-line, let’s draw some goals into it. Goals and resolutions that will enhance our everyday life and overall achievements, which we plan on starting on NOW!

In this post, we’re going to publish EVERY piece of input we get from all of you. Whether you plan on drinking more beer in ’10, learning jiu-jitsu by Summer, or finally talking yourself into getting your back waxed(I’ve seen many dude’s on my Bahamas vacation who’s back-hair alone could land them a role in ‘Planet of the Apes’), WE WANT TO HEAR IT! This community is mostly bloggers, but please, anyone and everyone should post their new year’s resolutions here via Twitter (send us an @reply w/your resolution in 140 characters or less) or simply leave your resolutions below in our comment section.

Since this is my idea, I’ll go ahead and start off with introducing myself with my own resolutions for 2010. I’m going to stick to a “top 5″ outline, and feel free to do the same.

Stephen Wise – Founder of BlogTease.com

1.) Cut out all processed food – I’m in shape now, but I want my mind and body to be at it’s prime, so for this year, I’m sticking to organic EVERYTHING. For the past few months, I’ve cut out soda and fast food, in exchange for tea and home-cooking, so I’ve already gotten past the initial hardships of this kind of dietary approach. I’ve already noticed an increase in energy, and this next year should increase it even more. Can’t wait! (yes, that’s me to the right w/ Oolong tea.)

2.) Learn better Japanese – Languages are like a game, and Japanese is one I just haven’t mastered yet. After taking a course in Elementary Japanese at a University, I learned up to a point where I can sing children’s songs and follow 3rd grade coloring books in Japanese, but I don’t believe I’d be able to survive a visit to the actual country until I get more relaxed with the language. I’ll probably raid Barnes & Noble of all of their ‘How-To’ Japanese content later this week.

3.) Meet my audience – After starting a few websites and blogs, building a strong sense 0f community, and linking with other sites, I’ve realized that I’ve never been able to get a chance to meet any of them in person or enjoy meet-ups in the city. I’d like to change that with Blog Tease this year, mostly because bloggers are some of the most interesting people to have conversation with, where my past audiences have mostly been gamers or readers who enjoy a cheap laugh. Now I can take advantage of meeting fellow content-creators.

4.) Guest Blog /Podcast more - With my earlier sites, I’ve made sure to help out within the niche in as many ways I could, by showing up in other’s podcasts or posting as a guest on other’s sites. It’s fun, simple, and it’s my favorite way to change things up and meet more people. If any of you have yet to share your voice with other bloggers, I recommend you go ahead and give it a try. You won’t regret it.

5.) Create Community – It’s easy to create community, but it usually takes time. Lots of time. I don’t plan on having a forum up until I know that we’ve got consistent readers talking to us, with us, and with each other. Right now, I’m focusing everything on Twitter, the comments here on the site, with the possibility of testing out Google Wave in the near future. I want to get to know most of you. Help us achieve this by leaving comments on our site and don’t by shy to hit us up on Twitter. I’ll be glad to respond to each and every one of you.

“My main goal is to be making a full-time income online by 2011, but to get their my goals are:

1. Post Quality Content

“I dedicated 2009 to learning new skills in web design but 2010 is going to be the year I implement the–I’m starting a freelance business.

-I also plan to move to Toronto this summer. I’ve visited a few times before and I absolutely love the atmosphere. I’m already saving some cash and looking into student loans.

-I also want to make every day worthwhile, to do something remarkable each and every day. It can be small things like helping someone carry their groceries to just offering advice and support – I want to make the world around me better :)”

Kissie - Ohhh…. K!

“Maintain five blogs by posting thoughtful and useful articles once a week.

Thanks for your support.

A goal properly set is halfway reached so I’m halfway there!”
