2008: Much Like 2007

I cant get into the whole New Years resolution business. I’ve tried it years past, and I can honestly say that not a single ‘resolution’ passed the two month mark.

Besides, lets say you decided to give up all of your unhealthy habits and subscribe to a healthier lifestyle. Could you really go a full year on a diet without the succor of alcohol and nicotine? And would that year be worth living?

I say fuck that. Don’t shoot heroine into your eyeballs every day of the month. That’s overdoing it. Don’t pretend your going to all of a sudden drop from a (respectable) size 8 to a size 1 in two months. That’s overdoing it too.

And no, the two do not cosmically balance each other out. The key word here is moderation.

Do not be Britney. Got it. Well said. And until this year I embrace that practical advice.
But this year, my train needs a track and some caution lights.
So I am giving the whole resolutin a shot.

I suppose it all depends on how long you wish to keep these resolutions...

A month? Two? The entire year?

Or is this a lifestyle change? Those are the hardest, but far more liable to work out in the end.
