New Year's resolutions

Well put Martian, I agree.

 

'Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account' - Oscar Wilde

 

I don't do resolutions; but I did promise my wife that I'd get caught up on everything health related in 2011. At the age of 55, that is one hell of a lot of stuff and I didn't quite make it. Dentist and eye doc are spilling into 2012.

I have no resolutions for 2012 other than finishing up from 2011.

 

For serious?

Get rid of some of the excess baggage I've been dragging behind me like a one-man dogsled team.

It's been a couple of real solid years now and I still can't seem to get that shit off my shoulders.

Time and distance haven't seemed to help much. Maybe I should talk to someone about it.

Getting to the point where the Ghosts Of Then don't hurt me anymore. Just piss me off.

...

Also:

- Learn to enjoy my occupation or find another one that I can make a career.
- Get myself a 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T Plus, bolt on a sick supercharger.
- Stop making the girlfriend sing Katy Perry's "E.T." while I hit it doggy style.
- Drink enough milk to earn the rad title "The Great Udder Emptier of 2012."
- Stop sizing up dudes in Target because I'm really bored with groceries.
- Have less assault rifles out in the living room when guests come over.

...

Also:

Hell, my Near Year's Resolution is to be more like MeltedMetalGlob. Dude is absolutely hilarious and I really appreciate his comedic antics.

 

I have this weird thing about starting things at the beginning, so I like the idea of Resolutions. I will actually be celebrating being a vegetarian for the past 10 years. A new year's resolution I made in 2001. They can be accomplished my friends. It wasn't really THAT hard since I didn't really eat a lot of meat anyway. Some days I crave meat, but that's usually because my iron is low. I've thought about eating salmon again since I remember liking it, but I can't bring myself to do it.

I've thought about putting my vagina on sabbatical again for a whole year, but then made some plans to see an "old friend" this spring.

I think I may have resolved to learn something new every day this year. So far I have learned the difference between a muscle and a clam and then learned that Johnny Depp played the slide guitar on the Oasis song "Fade In-Out". (Waiting for the condescension of people saying, ""Pshht, ZS. How did you not know that stuff?")

My friend made 12 resolutions to be accomplished once a month. I thought it was a unique take on things, but at the moment I can't think of 12 things I want to accomplish this year.

 

I've been saying that every year I'm going to quit smoking. I usually break it within the first day. >.<

 

I don't usually make a new years rez, but, I regularly make goals, and fail. For a decade now, I've been dieting on and off, and only managed to lose weight when extremely sick, and gain more back. I'm very unhappy with myself for this, and want to make a smaller goal: to try to lose a couple (any amount, really) pounds this January. And do little baby steps to make a lifestyle change. Cause as an emotional eater, I struggle with a lot of methods of dieting and whatnot. I won't make a true lifestyle change until I'm living alone in my own place, controlling what I eat, and not making food for my family and what they want.
That's another thing. I'm in a happy relationship with my boyfriend, and he's the only stable person in my life right now. I want to focus on establishing a career, and moving out of London, so I can go off and be an adult, no more strings, no more guilt. I'm famous for letting people drag me down with guilt. That's why my New Years weekend was so miserable.
So! Time to get off my keester and get started! First things on my list: helping my family finish home renovations, clearing out old junk and selling old stuff we never use.

 

Just want to tidy up a few loose ends in relationships that suck the life out of me.

 

Read 45 books

Well, were your resolutions kept? I didn't make any for 2012. Not sure I will for 2013, but will be thinking about it over the few days left.

Are you planning any for 2013?

 

I'm actually quite awesome right now. I work out which I started this Feb. I am a healthy weight and I eat good. I read. I have a nice car. Wow, I got a LOT done this year.

Next year has to be on the up & up!

 

HA! I didn't even remember what mine was!

I haven't thought this out although I plan to come Monday.

As I said last year, I like NY resolutions.

 

Oh yeah, I need to go back to school. But that's more of a New Elections Resolution. Means I got 4 years from this year to end that fucking chapter of school.

I fucking hate school.

Fuck.

EDIT: Sending ZombieSquirrel a creepy shot of my penis on the 31st so she can break her sabbatical before it ends.

 

Once again I make no New Years resolution ( been able to keep this resolution for 3 years ! )
