New Year’s Resolutions - 2006

I’m not one of these naysayers who think it’s “cool” to poo-poo New Year Resolutions. But you know, by all of them poo-pooing it they negate their fringy coolness.

I, however, am all for setting unrealistic goals which I will never attain. C’mon, it’s a tradition!

1. Lose weight: Hey it’s a classic. It wouldn’t be a New Year’s Resolution list without this old stand by. What the F? I need to, so why not? I resolve to lose XX pounds (the number is none of your business).
2. Keep a journal: I went to Barnes & Noble today and bought a nice leather-bound journal. I resolve to write every day. From the monumental to the mundane.
3. Draw: I’m not bad at drawing. I’m not great either. I could probably improve greatly with a little more effort. I resolve to draw five pictures a week.
4. Paint: I’m even worse at painting than I am at drawing and therefore do it even less frequently. I resolve to paint one picture a month.
5. Quit my part time job. I have a full time job that pays the bills. I took this part time job because I thought I would enjoy it. I was wrong. I’ve had it for 5 months; it’s time to go. I resolve to quit my part time job.
6. Hold myself accountable. I resolve to revisit this list monthly and log my progress (or lack thereof).

Dang, that’s all I can think of for now. Maybe I’ll revise this list. I’ll sleep on it.
