New Year's Resolutions

At this time of year, we evaluate our lives, find fault with ourselves, and resolve to change in the coming year.  Many will make resolutions calling for change, only to boast by the second that they have already broken their New Year's Resolutions.  

There are ways to help you keep your resolutions going for a bit longer.
The Contrarian: I resolve to imbibe alcohol, smoke cigars, and gain 20 pounds.
The Alaskan: I resolve to kill more fish, drive my ORV (Off-Road Vehicle), see more wildlife, take a dump in the woods, and enjoy life more than the next guy.
The Kodiak City Councilman: I resolve to stir up public debate with idiotic ideas.

Another way is to make your resolutions simple.  My own resolution which will be renewed this year is simply: "I resolve to be happy".

Remember the words of Buddha Chinaski: "and remember, the second best thing in the world is a good night's sleep, and the best: a gentle death. meanwhile, pay your gas bill, if you can, and stay out of arguments with the wife.

Good luck

I like your resolution advice.... But are you sure it's not "The Kodiak City M......" who has the ideas? I'm just sayin'.

By the way, how long did it take you to nail down the most disturbing shade of lime green for your blog? Looks like you put a lot of time and thought into it.
