Exercise a "one-in, one-or-more out" policy on clothes and shoes.
To make no resolutions, but instead broad visions of how I wish 2010 to proceed, so I don't end up kicking myself over failing to achieve my resolutions once it's time to make the 2011 resolutions. :P

I'm going to go with the 1600 by 900 see how that works out. Really though, this is a strange tradition and seems kinda pointless. I don't think I'll be able to see stuff when it gets that small.
Same as every year--make no resolutions. I always succeed. Or always fail. Depends how you look at it. :P
1) Dont get engaged to anyone who intend to break up the relationship and call off the wedding 2 months before the wedding date (i e after the invitations have gone out) and then commit suicide.
2) ...
3.) Profit? :unsure:
er.......none..
My resolution is to fulfill my New Year's resolution for once.
Lose 10 pounds.
Do more teaching and playing with Carl.
Get involved in volunteering.
I resolve to not get divorced this next year.
Never made any, won't now either.

I told it to my dad who is a programmer and he had no idea what I was talking about.
This year is going to be big for me, I'm finishing my masters so will be off to try and get a job. That dominates my resolutions.
Getting a girl would be nice but meh.

I've been mean to you? I don't recall being mean. Sometimes my cruelty oozes over onto other people though. That's a general theme with me though. Oozing that is.
I don't make New Year's resolutions, for two reasons:
a) The New Year is just an arbitrary date so I think celebrating it is kinda dumb in general
b) I'm already perfect in every way.
You could stand to lose some weight.
You sound like my mother. :cool:
I want to have $[censored] by the end of the year.

Me too. :chuckle:
I generally don't make resolutions except in jest, as I am resolving and re-resolving all year anyway. It's just how I roll. Slowly.
my vague ideas about changing my life slightly this year include
1. keeping up the healthier lifestyle that I've had the last couple of years. (been slipping a lot recently)
2. Finding some mythical other source of income that is slightly higher than my current one.
3. Not get arrested during the Olympics (my most concrete resolution)
4. Avoid all Olympic nonsense except the Hockey games.
5. Get out more, go to a few of the zillion events I get invited to.
6. Finish a first draft of my novel. (mock away)
7. other vague self improvements.
Less drinking, more fucking.

I know my new year resolution is bogus. No matter how disciplined I am in saving money, the stock market can take the portfolio anywhere. My powers are insignificant when compared to the power of The Force.

as long as I get to be Lee Van Cleef.
Eli Wallach rocks.
Wallach is the German word for castrated horses. :)
I prefer van Cleef's name in the Itay/German version, though: Sentenza. Sounds cooler than Angel Eyes.
Jeff Healey didn't write a song about Sentenza though.

2003 called, it wants its revelation back.
The jerk store called, they're all out of you. :huh:
I resolve not to stomp away from languish in a tempter tantrum then sheepishly come back later pretending like I really don't care.
