New Years Resolutions

What is the deal with new years resolutions? Where does this tradition come from and what is the point of it? If you're going to make a change to your life, wouldn't you just do it anyway, regardless of the time of year?.

Anyway...

My new years resolutions are as follows:

1. Have more fun (by fun i mean, more good nights out, more possible mistakes that i might regret and taking the piss out of the big issue woman and other members of the zoo that is the "Earth", wherever applicable).
2. Maybe find Mr Write/Right, not so much Mr Right Now....although that sounds like fun!
3. Come out of my shell...even more and discover new things about myself along the way.
4. Find the balance in my life, between work & play. That's my problem i am sh** at multi-tasking, being a gay man with certain female qualities (none of which include breasts, fajita or high-pitched squeels) i thought that multi-tasking would be a strong point, obviously not.
5. Get better grades at college, and become one, once again, with my inner nerd.

What i think is so pointless about making new years resolutions is that i think half of the population make these things and not one of them actually sees them through. I'm not gonna be a hypocrite by saying that i'll fulfill all of the above, but i suppose they're kind of in the wrong context in a way. The things i've wrote there have been my immediate goals for a few years now.

But maybe, in the spirit of christmas & new year i can finally hit at least one of them. These are difficult times though so i'm not going to expect too much from myself. I think the key to goals and happiness is not setting your goals too high, then you won't get disapointed if you don't reach them.

Final Thoughts

• Don't make promises you can't keep.
• Live each day, as if it were your last.
• When having sex, always use a condom.
• If you have crabs, do not shave off all of your pubic hair!
• Don't do drugs.
• Say please and thank you, manners cost nothing.
• Do bitch about people that wind you up, it's a good release, but always be prepared to say whatever you said behind their backs, to their face.
• Don't beat yourself up for things that you said yesterday, there's nothing you can do to change it.

Take care of yourself, and each other...
