New Year's Resolutions 2003

I don't know about you, but my resolutions never last very long. Every year I make promises to myself that I know are destined to fail. This doesn't really get me upset for some reason. I feel no guilt upon the abandonment of a new hope. This year will be different though. This year I'll stick to my ideals. Then again, I've said that every year.

In the past it's been, "Start working out" or, "Stop making resolutions" but they never last more than a month. This year I think I'll head in an entirely new direction. I'll do something I want to do for a change. Maybe, "Be happy" or, uh . . . really that's the only thing I want to do. So there you go. Now it's time to break this thing down into smaller "mini-resolutions" to aid me in being happy.

  1. Work on my website
    This will include a new feature (or update to an old one) every month.
  2. Get a job
    A job will make me money, which can buy me things, which will make me happy. Not that money can buy happiness, but it sure will help.
  3. Give up something
    I'm going to give up one thing a two months. For two months it'll be TV, then videogames, then chocolate, etc.
  4. Try something new
    Maybe I'll learn to make sushi, or ride a unicycle, or breath fire. My goal is one new thing every two month.
  5. Be nicer to people
    I don't like hurting people, it just kind of happens, mostly because they're insufferable assholes. But I won't let that get me down.

So, that shouldn't be too hard. I'm going to keep a journal of every step I've made done the long winding road of progress, so that everyone can see my miserable failures. I hate being me.
