Resolution for resolutions
Topic of the day: New year's resolutions.
I don't have any.
One must wonder why I don't, after all it's been a tradition of a sort for people to come up with all these resolutions to be fulfilled through the new year.
Actually, that's not completely accurate.. I do have one resolution and that is to make no resolutions! I do know that is a bit of an oxymoron, but if gnu can mean not unix then I can make a resolution to make no resolutions.
It may appear to be a little odd to have such an opposition to new year's resolutions but there is logical thought behind this. As an engineer, there is logical thought behind everything I do. Except the things that are illogical.. there's no logical thought involved there at all. Like every classic procrastinator (and I'm truly the definition of the word) I never follow up on any resolutions I make, so making them only needlessly depresses me and puts stress on my already fully stressed life (who isn't stressed these days?). Catch anything in that previous sentence? I just wrote I never follow up on any resolutions I make which may include this resolution to make no resolutions.
On further thought.. never-mind all that.
I'm making a resolution to stop posting blithering idiocy like this one :)

Oh, Ive been there. I did a lot of drugs and pondered the universe. OUCH!!! BIGTIME STRESS!!!
If you dont have any resolutions you feel you can make, then maybe you need to spend this next year on analysis of your situation so you can identify which parts of your individual world you would like to resolve. Im just coming down from my paradoxical oxymoron situation it seems right when you are just beginning yours. Perhaps we could work together and deal with this situation as a team? It might produce fun and exciting results, oh and of course, a resolution.
