Thread Name: New Years resolutions
Subject: RE: New Years resolutions
I make resolutions, but never on New Year's Eve because I am usually drunk and blowing horns and can't remember them. Besides, making resolutions on New Year's Eve implies that you haven't the resolution to make resolutions as required throughout the year.

I gave up on world peace long ago, and am selfishly concentrating on personal peace.

I suppose I do resolve to continue my resolutions. To continue to keep a television out of the apartment. To read material that infuriates me. To at least pretend to be nice to people and patient with them. To make more relish and pickles. To change the oil in my car more often, and to stop driving at breakneck speeds. To visit my relatives more often, whether they like it or not, and to be nice to their slobbery, thieving dogs. To be more organized (a continuing battle). To continue with community projects, no matter how many rule-spouting bureaucrats I butt heads with. To polish my shoes more often. To avoid all fast food establishments. To be more patient and tolerant(a REAL challenge).
