A Happy New Year to everyone, once again. I hope everyone had a great night/day/weekend. Now, as this is the first blog post of the new year, I thought I’d talk about you! It seems, and I don’t know the age demo for the people who read this little ole blog, but as you get older it seems you get split into two categories in the new year. You’re either the party animal, who gets wasted and needs to call a cab for the ride home, or you’re the home body who kind of just doesn’t care that the new year is upon us. Yes, I realize that’s an oversimplification of the whole New Years extraveganza, but that’s really not the point, I just like pointing that out because when you were younger, you usually spent it with family and doing fireworks stuff or something, I don’t know what you used to do.

No matter how we celebrate the ending of a year and the beginning of a new one, most people have a tendency to do one thing. The New Year’s Resolution. Some people even make the resolution that they’re not going to make a resolution this year, which is kind of a paradox, wrapped in a time vortex, and well, you get the picture. But whether you think it’s important to make that promise to yourself or whether you think it’s a waste of time, it does one thing and does it right. It makes you evaluate yourself and what you’re going to do and accomplish in the next year. Even if most people just want to lose all the weight from all the food they ate during the holidays, which really, what’s up with that? I realize it’s cold and fat can keep you warm, but why do we as a county keep pushing the whole, eat like next year will never come. And if you believe in the theories of next year being the last, maybe you have the right idea. Okay, I’m flip flopping…
I think whoever thought up the whole resolution thing had the right idea. I know a lot of people who think their lives are a morbid and nasty mess, which is too bad because I honestly think that most people have a fairly fantastic life. But if you feel that way about yours, I’m not saying “go and change it”, because I realize everyone says that, and it’s kind of annoying. But at least think about it. That’s the biggest thing a resolution does! It makes us think about the past year and if you make a resolution, it kind of forces us to make the next year better. And yes, I realize most people fail at their resolution before January 3rd, which is why I’m not suggesting making a resolution unless you really want to.
If there’s anything I’ve tried to talk about on this bloody site (bloody is a curse word isn’t it?), it’s to at least think about what you’re going through. If it’s your life, or your relationships or whatever, just step back for one moment and actually analyze what the hell is going on in your life and then do what you got to do. Change it, love it, ignore it, whatever. But just know, the beauty of the New Year is the chance for new things and possibilities. Hell, maybe, this year, my blog and podcasts will actually be a success? The world may never know hellip;well, okay, that’s not true. They will know because I’ll be bragging about it on the blog and the podcast and being a real jerk about it. Oh yeah!
