I'd say that my overarching goal for '09 is to be a part of the solution rather than wasting time complaining about the problem.
My main one is to have my first web app launch
make my first 1$ after 6 mos. development (1500 hours):)
To sneak some Haskell into production.
Get a degree, get out of my parent's basement, and get a job.
Leave my job, get out of my parents' basement, do a startup.
I hope to survive my time in prison(high school) with out dying of boredom. I hate this crap!
For what it's worth, I wish I had spent more time on the boring crap in high school.
1. Finish high school (got about 3 more months of online-schooling)

2. Move out

3. ???

4. Profit (and/or get laid, either one)

Profit from the next two weeks of intense polishing and releasing my product week 1 of January 09!
I plan to learn Galois Theory and Quantum Field Theory.
To get back on the horse.

To be unusually frank on the Internet: 2008 and 2007 have been incredibly bad years for me, in a way that I'm just not willing to detail on a public forum. The goal for 2009 is to keep plugging away at my startup, hopefully for our January launch, and to try and enjoy life -- something that hasn't been possible for a few years.
