2011 and the pokers

So I guess I'll start posting some poker on here, since currently I'm not doing anything else with this blog (which is annoying me quite a bit, but there's a bit of stress in my life right now (didn't have this excuse when I stopped blogging my webdesign series) and I definitely need to get some poker in to pay the bills).

So I will go ahead and put my 2011 goals on record for the world to see:
7,500 VPP on stars every month, trying to stay quite a bit ahead of this since I would lose Supernova in September if I don't make 10k on average. Hopefully I will be able to move up in stakes and make it a bit easier for me soon.
100 SNGs every day I work.
Working at least 5 days a week.
10% ROI among everything I play at the end of the year. 2010 I managed the amazing 4% ROI (which considering some of the year is quite an accomplishment imo).
Having enough of a bankroll to play on my own dime by the end of the year. This means about $2.5k because that would allow me to play a variety of games for enough rakeback to pay most of the bills (if i get volume in).
$40k profit.

Exit Conditions (I will stop playing poker if any of these "goals" are met):
under 10k profit on the year.
still being in makeup by April (I'm still about $2k in makeup under my current contract, obviously this should be worked off in a single month but just as obviously no one can make one month guarantees in poker).
not getting my $1k milestone by end of January (unless I spend the FPPs i have on something else I cash out).

Other goals would be to play a lot more cash games where the winrates tend to be higher (I haven't done the math on this, at the higher stakes it's definitely true though) and skill is rewarded more than in SNGs where the play tends to be mostly mechanical (although most of the regulars are hilariously bad).
