I have waited three days and there just does not seem to be any difference. Every year everybody gets all het up about a new year. Like things will be different just because we add a another 1 to the year designation. I can only see one thing that is significant. When you write a check, if any of you still do write checks, then you might still be writing "2011" not "2012". That is it. Just that. A new year is just a blip on the time line. No big thang (as some would say).
Big whoop. People make resolutions because it is the "time". But then they don't keep them. Why wait until January 1, to make a resolution? Why not pick some other random date and lie to yourself. Actually, why not make a resolution on the first of each month, after all the first is the first. Then by the middle of the month you can forget it and then start again the next month.
I make the same resolution every year. I resolve not to make any "New Year's" resolutions. That way I am not guilt ridden about failing myself, again. I can stay my fat, slovenly, unimproved self. I enjoy being my own cantankerous self. Maybe that is what I should resolve: I resolve not to change anything about myself -- for good or bad.
Just saying...
