Yes blogland it’s that time of year once again. New Year’s Resolution time that is. Give me your tired who promise to work less. Give me your 3-pack a day smokers who promise to quit. Give me your overweight, out of shape people who promise this year will be different. Who in the hell came up with this brilliant idea? We all know 99.9% of us never follow through on our resolutions. I believe my so called resolutions pretty much end at 12:01am. We should begin calling it “End of Year What We Should Have Done But Didn’t”. Think about it. For a month at most, gyms across the nation see an increase in revenue and people. Maybe fewer people are buying cigarettes (this leads to an increase in cranky ass people). I figured something out several years ago-never let anyone know what you resolve to do for the new year. This way, if you fail-and chances are you will, no one will know. Then, if you are in the small percentage who actually accomplish the task at hand-you can brag to people and say “Yeah, losing weight and getting in shape was my resolution this year.” People will be impressed. They’ll say “Wow, Beth kept her resolution, why couldn’t I?” For a brief moment you’ll be the envy and talk of all those around you. Then of course the whole thing starts over-it’s a never-ending freaking cycle. So, my resolution for this year? I resolve not to resolve anything. I’ll take on whatever life may bring. I’ll chug along with the rest of you who failed and flip off those who didn’t. Makes life less complicated.

I didn’t write this to get a blog design-although it would be nice, but follow this link and you may win yourself a new design for the new year.
