So, I won't make the same kind of resolutions. Anything about my weight is right out, for obvious reasons. I always say I want to be more informed about the world, but the world is scarier the more you know about it. Maybe I should swap "watch the National every night" with "watch Entertainment Tonight every second week?" No, that's even more depressing than failure. And don't even get me started on my attempt to green my living. My life is supported by a thin tissue of take-out containers and impulsive shopping, and the thought of deodorant crystals makes me ill. Also, if the end times are right around the corner, I want to go out driving an SUV with one hand and mashing a Big Mac into my gob with the other.
No, I'm not so decadent. Furthermore, I still lack my G2, so driving any vehicle outside of a bicycle is out of the question. I guess it would be easier just to give up resolutions entirely, but I'm still optimistic. And I figure if I set some goals, even if I fail a little, there's a good chance I'll accomplish a bit more than I would otherwise. So, this year, I'm setting just five simple goals. Prepare for limited success, world!
