New Year’s Resolutions

There’s a reason they aren’t called “New Year’s Promises.” We’re almost expected to break them. Nevertheless, I try to make and keep some every year, regardless of what other people might think about them. Generally, they’re the same resolutions from the previous year that I’ve failed to live up to. Take number one, for example.

1. Get real exercise.
2. Get more sleep.
3. Loosen up.
4. Stand by my convictions more.
5. Stand up for myself more.
6. Read more books and listen to more music.
7. Meet some new people.

I think 2004 is going to be a good year. Looking back on 2003, I think I did pretty well with my resolutions.
