I'm surprised that this hasn't come up yet, so I decided to rise to the occasion.

Come one, come all, and share your New Year's Resolutions, no matter if they'll only last two weeks into the new year, or whether they're backed by the iron will and strength of spirit to last until spring.

*Ahem!* My New Year's Resolution is to pay better attention to my health, and do what's necessary to go further in life (college/steady work)... Oooo! and to play 'EverQuest 2' more often. (yes... I am an Ever-CrackHead)

That actually seems like several resolutions, but I intend to stay adamant.

I am going to finish more projects that I start and not start projects I'm inclined not to finish.

I will make my life simpler.
I've already began clearing my house of things , that are just things, and really don't add anything to my life. Clarity in one's life path can begin by cleaning one's closet, and boy is mine messy!

I have this nagging eight or nine remaining baby pounds that could really learn to release themselves from my corporeal being. Gonna work on that, and perhaps return to my vegetarian slanted ways. I so miss soba noodles and piles of wasabi paste, I think I could do without the humus though. *shudder*

Oh, I want to get back into painting, it has been too long, and I'm lacking in wall art.

Happy New Year Browncoats!

I, Mal-licious, do hereby solemnly swear to TRY not to highjack any more threads. Unless they are Jefe's.

Oh, hey! Where IS Jefe, BTW?

I never make New Years resolutions anymore. The last one I made was to stop making them, and I kept it.

But then I really dislike New Years anyway.

I resolve to keep an open mind. The world has need of people who are willing to compromise, because we are all wrong and we are all right to some degree. Let the open communication commence!!

I resolve to learn at least something musical this year.

Also I will learn some poetry off by heart.

Plus I will limit myself to 2 litres of Pepsi Max per day. I wish I was just kidding.

PV hereby resolves to nominate hisself designated driver on the evening of Dec. 31, 2005. Will drink sodapop and bottled water. Will only take in second-hand smoke (can't be helped, eh?). Will patiently laugh at outrageous behaviour of intoxicated friends.

Will wake up Jan 1, 2006 with unhurt brain. This would be a good thing, compared to present brainstate.

Anyone have the address for the braincell reclamation centre?

I was gonna say, "I resolve not to make resolutions", but that one was already taken (grrr). Instead, I'll give you my real one, that I made on the winter solstice, for the coming year: I resolved to have a more positive outlook and stop worrying so much about the future; stop defeating myself before the battle begins. (Would somebody please get the smelling salts for several of the regulars hereabouts? The thud was audible.)

Dealing with chronic pain (without the aid of pain relievers, thanks to my career) can make a body somewhat cranky, irascible. So, I've decided to reverse that trend. Not necessarily Pangloss-rosy, because that's not me either; but, not so 'doom and gloom' as I've increasingly become in the past four years. The pain is always gonna be there, but I'm taking back the reins of my attitude from it.

And I'm already feeling better -- spiritually and bodily -- over the past nine days...

Here's hoping we all succeed in our quests to become more well-rounded and happier people.

Hopefully,

zoid

P.S.
Winter and Summer solstices are the best days to make lasting changes, in my experience; although it's probably just psychophysiological (i.e., a change in habits made at the same time that days -- and sleep cycles -- are getting longer or shorter). Having said that, perhaps it's no coincidence -- nor merely medievel politics -- that our 'holydays' are located on or near solstices and equinoxes.
