Every year I hear crap on the news about people making a New Year’s resolution and I wonder why they do it. So many times I hear about resolutions that weren’t kept and possibly weren’t even attempted in the first place. It’s almost like a joke that people pull on themselves each year.

“This year I’m going to stop eating jelly doughnuts.”

“This year I’m going to stop fucking everything that moves.”

“This year I am going to fuck everything that moves.”

“I am going to quit smoking.”

“I am going to be more responsible.”

Well I can break these promises or any promise to myself without the excuse of it being a new year. Tomorrow is a new day after all and new promises I can break to myself. I never really care that much about New Years day or New Years Eve for that matter. It mostly seems to be a day when people get drunk and do really stupid shit because they think it won’t matter or something like that. “I can finally go bang that diseased hooker because certainly AIDS won’t follow me into the New Year.” Granted that is an exaggeration or I hope it is for most of you. But it certainly can seem that way at times.

Now I know it’s pretty much just a goal that a person sets for themselves and that goals are an important thing to succeed. I even set goals every now and then. And one I recently accomplished was getting my BA. Now I just have to figure out what I am going to do next. Should I set out to take over the world with nano sized robotic termites or should I move to another planet and call myself it’s leader?

I actually do have plans for what to do next. I’m just unsure as to how they will work out. This is part of the adventure of life though. The plans involve moving and start shit with a friend. Who knows if it will all work out or not? I sure as hell don’t. I also have a few ideas I want to get started once the move is done. But those ideas could always get rejected. Only time will tell what will happen and time can be a cold hearted bitch.

So let me sum it up because I am running out of things to say that will actually make sense to some extent. It’s not that I think setting a resolution is stupid or anything like that. It’s more about setting my goals whenever I need to. When I need to get something done, that is when I set my goal. I need my computer to work. So what do I need to do to make it work? I don’t believe in setting bigger goals on holidays or something like that. I will say that my next goal is being put off till after the holidays because I would like to be with my family and I probably wouldn’t be able to be with them if I pursued my goals now. Family is more important for now. This may make my goals harder to attain. But there is no reward without risk.
