New Year's Eve
"New Year's Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual."
-Mark Twain
I've never made an honest attempt at New Year's Resolutions. I often make New Year's Maybes, half-assed vows I make to myself and then forget about them less than a week later. Some of these futile resolutions have been:
1. Quit biting my nails (a filthy habit)
2. Start eating better
3. Get more exercise
4. Read more books that aren't total garbage...
...and the list goes on.
I think every week I make "weekend" resolutions. They usually go like this:
1. Clean my car
2. Do laundry
3. Finish my paper
4. Walk the dogs...
...and these usually dissolve--I forget, or I lose my motivation.
Maybe this year my resolution will be to regain that motivation--or only stick to resolutions I know will actually come to fruition. Here's one: Tonight, I will eat dinner.
Baby steps.

Happy 007, Monsieur. How's that snow coming along? My father bites his nails -- uses some kind of polish that tastes horrible to keep from it.
My goals are moderate -- to be more moderate in those areas that need to be moderated, and fiercer in those areas that need to be fiercer.
Cheers'
Happy New Year, and I've got a list of 8 resolutions on my door which I'm determined not to ignore this time... otherwise 'time' will have its wicked way with me.
No dinner tonight for me.
