It is that time of year again, when for whatever reason, you lie to yourself and presume your slate has been wiped clean. You can start all over again and correct the errors of the years gone by. It is all done by declaring a New Years Resolution, A non-binding contract with yourself to improve upon your many flaws.
From my short span in this world, I have learned that these are never meant to last more than 2 months, if that at all. People love to be resolute on things they cannot change. I like to think of it as the beauty pageant cliche where a contestant is asked, "if you become Ms. ________ what will be your goals and ambitions" (or any variation on said question) and the typical response from all of the contestants would be "bring world peace/end world hunger/world education/etc." In actuality, these "winners" will never do anything more than bring a few lonely, lonely men to climax with their photo-shoot and inspire a whole new generation of little bimbos to excel at memorizing a few questions and morbidly bland and cliched answers, Eating disorders, narcissism and the importance of fellatio and its direct link to becoming the winner. To those of you in the beauty pageant world, I apologize but I hate everything you stand for.
Fuck. I cant remember why I started writing this or where I was going with it.
Oh yeah, resolutions... I guess the point was to make reasonable resolutions, something you can actually do. You do not need to lie to yourself every year and think your gonna get in the peek shape of your life.
For example, My new years resolution is to finish shaping my surfboard by April. This gives me a nice stretch of time to fulfill it in, When I am at school I will need this time because I can only do work on it from home in MD. I also resolve to mark down every day I go surfing on a calendar to keep as a personal record.
ill finish this post later, maybe not, doesn't seem to be worth my time.
