Happy Old Year?
January 1, 2005
Well it’s January 1st. 2005. The new year. The day when all of the hopeful resolutions start making their rounds at parties and in conversations only to find themselves forgotten or ignored by the time the trees begin to bud out again. I didn’t make a resolution this year. Not because there’s nothing I want to do or change over the next 350 or so days. But because I *never* stick to the resolution I make. It gets altered, ignored, forgotten, or otherwise abandoned as the year goes by. I can’t even tell you what my resolution for 2004 was!
Speaking of 2004, how was it for you? Exactly one year ago today people were all wishing you a happy 2004, weren’t they? Yeah… me too. Happy new year, ya’ll.
So was it… a happy new year… for you?

Someone at work suggested that I use one of those services that lets you write an email to yourself that gets delivered in the future to remind myself throughout the year of what my resolution was. But that’s all I need… a regularly scheduled reminder of what I’m not doing. [...]

[...] For the last two years I’ve opted to avoid the New Year’s resolution that is traditional on this date. The first time I just wasn’t in resolution making mode. Last year I declined the resolution because I never remember to keep them. And this year I realized that with the marvel of the modern internet, I can make a resolution and refer back to it here whenever I need a reminder. [...]
