I am not big on New Year's resolutions. It seems kind of silly to base your goals on a fairy arbitrary date. I mean the only reason that yesterday was 2009 and today is 2010 is how our calendar got put together centuries ago (and they got it wrong, leap-year, come on). So while I feel that it is silly that we got worked up over something that outside our culture isn't very meaning full, I still think that resolutions are generally a good thing. Most people try and come up with resolutions that will better themselves, although I'm sure their are people who go the other way too. I think the hardest thing about resolutions it that they are supposed to last at least a year (or forever I guess) and that is a really long time to hold yourself accountable, and in general people are too hard on themselves if they mess up once they decide to go ahead and give up entirely. And that is really a shame. So to spite my entire conversation, I am going to set up some year goals for myself (yeah, they are goals, not resolutions - if I don't make it, it's okay).
