Why do people make resolutions, there is honestly no point to it. I fully expect twitter to fill up with things people say they will or want to do, and then ultimately tell us why they couldn’t do it.

As I see more and more people take to twitter and facebook with their resolution failures, my first thought is SUCKERS! Cause I am never one to pass up some schadenfreude. But my second thought is why? Why do you make resolutions? I know that you have the best of intentions but some things are incredibly hard to fight and they are especially hard to fight when you take the most stressful time of the year and try to change something drastic about yourself. That’s usually what you are trying to do isn’t it? Change something you don’t like about yourself? Why can’t you and yourself just get along….but I digress.

I, of course, am no exception (Another warning: I am big hypocrite). Though the official line is that I don’t make resolutions, secretly I do. I rarely try to change something starting on New Year’s Day, I wait until I am good and pissed off at a bad habit before I get rid of it. Instead I just start my year with a “This is the last year I will…” or “2009 was the last year I will (or won’t)…”.  For instance, 2009 is that last year I will let my fear of flying keep me grounded. Or this is the last year I will drive my car…cause I so WANT a new one. There aren’t many of those phrases to start out with but as the year wears on more and more I will find myself uttering that phrase. ESPECIALLY at work. Often I will hear myself saying “That is the LAST TIME I work on his project.”

In the end, I try not make January 1^stthe day I decide to change my life. There seems to be no purpose and certainly no drive behind the promises other than stupid tradition. Do as I do, wait for something to make you so fucking mad you never want to do, or see, or hear or be near it again, then change it. Works like a charm. But let me save you one moment of pisstivity: Nicolas Cage movies now suck, so don’t bother. Thank me later.

On another note: I have put out a request for guest bloggers so from time to time you will see some guests here. Don’t worry they are all properly vetted after many glasses of wine. And if you interested send me a message through the contact form.
