Normally, I make my New Year's resolutions around Thanksgiving time. They shortly get revoked by the holidays, so my period of resolve typically only lasts a month. Natually, my resolutions are never too earth-shaking--it's pretty hard to pull off a major reform in one month. But, if I were to moving my resoluting up eleven months, here's what my list would be (so far):
- Buy a new calendar.
- Get Jeff Lynne elected president. Oh wait, he's British. Jeff Lynne for God, then. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, at least.
- Try to get through March without killing Dan Marino, Don Schula, Mike Golic, Kirstie Alley, Valerie Bertinelli, Dick Butkus, or anyone else trying to cash in on New Years insecurity.
- Beat the hell out of New Jersey. (Oh wait, that's my New YORK resolution....)
- Think about becoming a better person, mentally and physically, but admit that I'll likely go no farther than that.

Part of my reason for giving up on NY resolutions was the realization that I would make plans during xmas break to do all sorts of reading and such between semesters, and finding myself instead sitting on my ass watching tv and surfing the web. I like the idea of "admitting that I'll get no farther than that." I actually took to making lists with the express purpose of not doing the stuff on them. Hmm... maybe I should make some New Year's Anti-Resolutions?
