Jumping on the Band Wagon

So 2007 has come around and I've made several resolutions. Resolutions are a tricky business, I can assure you all of that. You see, we all fall into two categories when it comes to turning over a new leaf (which by the way, refers to a page in a book, not leaf as in "maple leaf).

The first category: "I'm going to make a New Year's resolution and I plan on sticking to it". We've all made this at least once in our lives... It takes being able to look yourself in the mirror and nit-pick at what we want different in our lives. It requires being able to admit our faults, understand where we went wrong, and legitimately try to fix the issue.

The second category: "It's 2 A.M. and I'm sitting on the couch in my underpants watching the ump-teenth add for Girls Gone Wild. - This is the easy one. This resolution is made when you've spent the day doing literally nothing that requires standing up and moving, and feel the guilt start surrounding you like a soggy blanket. It's a quick fix, and in my own opinion, is subject to some of the most ungrounded, illogical and down right delusional claims ever made. As a sample, here's mine : " This year, I'm not going to order pizzas when I'm too lazy to go to the store and buy groceries". For the record, that resolution was nixed within 14 hours of making it.

One resolution I did not make, but apparently my brain did when I was sleeping, was to start jumping on the band wagons of popular culture. If I would have know my brain was plotting this, I would have purposely drank the bottle of stale Bourbon in my kitchen, just to take him down a peg or two.

So far this year, I've bought a 32" HDTV, signed up for DVR from Time Warner, and started a blog (I didn't say they were recent fads). Science H. Logic, it's only the 21st! At this rate, by 2008 I'll be a hobo (which oddly enough would be fun for about 2 weeks, I'll bet).

The forum's open on this one - what resolutions have YOU made this year?
