Here comes a new year. Are you ready for it?

The Mayans predicted you would be, whether you like it or not. Of course they also predicted I would be more famous (and better at updating my website) by now. Sorry Mayans, I feel like we let each other down.

This is the time when people make bold promises to themselves about being a “better person” in the upcoming year. Resolutions are thrown around with gusto in preparation of eventual defeat. Remember that time the U.S.A. had that War Resolution of 1973 and then George W. Bush went on to cheat on his diet 30 years later?

Does any of that make sense? Maybe I should continue to tell myself to stay out of politics. I find it’s hard to keep resolutions like that, so I tend to make mine more adventurous. I still smoke cigarettes after so many attempts to quit every January 1st. So this year I’m resolving to smoke three packs a day. For once not sticking to my resolution will be a good thing.

See you next year, folks.
