I figured this week I would touch on the wonderful subject of New Years Resolutions. We have all had them, we have all attempted to keep them, and we have all failed miserably year after year.
I can't be the only person left in the world that thinks that January 1st is just another day. It is not a fresh start by any means. The only positive thing might be that it gives you a new calendar with cute little puppies that you can write down your goals on.
My bills are still due, I am still in debt, and I am still sick from yesterday, which was 2012. I still have a damn cold, one that lasted from 2012 to 2013. So how is it any different?
Many people come up with these great changes that they will make this year, and you are all full of it. Quit pretending, you will either still be awesome, or you will still suck at life. Not trying to be pessimistic, but just realistic.
I do however think it gives you the opportunity to reflect and look at things that you hope to change, and that's cool, but its still just another day, another week, another month, and another year on this shitfest of a journey that we call life.
I want you all to write down your resolutions, lock them away and then next year on January 1st write down your resolutions for 2014. Then take out your 2013 list and it will more than likely be identical to the new one. Its ok, that's what makes us human. We adapt and change to a certain extent, but we are who we are. In the words of the late and great Nate Dogg, "you can't make a hoe a housewife."
I wish you all the best on your resolutions, and I look forward to some of you proving me wrong. That would be awesome, and hopefully my negativity will motivate you all to make me look like an asshole in another year.
