Like a lot of people I’m not a big fan of New Year’s Eve. Champagne is overrated. Sure it has bubbles but so does Fresca. I hate crowds. I certainly don’t want to start the New Year off with a hangover. I can do that any night of the week. But more importantly, I don’t want to have to work that hard at anything. Some people spend an inordinate amount of time working on their lawns and for what? The grass might get greener but it still gets shit on. Even with all the thought and preparation one puts into ensuring a good time be held by all, New Year’s Eve celebrations routinely end up being nothing more than forced fun.
Many of us will be making our annual New Year’s resolutions. They’ll be the usual like getting fit; losing weight; getting organized. Myself, I am following the KISS method this year; keep it simple stupid.
I resolve not to sit in my chair in my room all morning in my pyjamas. I will move my computer into the front room instead.
I will volunteer my time working with a neglected and troubled teen starting with my own.
I will stop wasting my time thinking about the past. I will now spend that time worrying about the future.
I will be more imaginative when it comes to placing labels on complete strangers. No more calls to Homeland Security just because the guy sitting next to me on the subway is wearing fatigues.
Finally, I will no longer spend a great deal of my time on performing meaningless tasks with the exception of this blog of course. The blog must go on.
