Re: solutions

Yesterday at Chipotle, I heard a table of coworkers boasting about the new year's resolutions they've created for 2007.

I've always hated the social convention of creating a list of self improvements upon the arrival of each new year: if you can't realize you're too fat January through November, what's the point of noticing it in December? It's unlikely you'll do anything about it? For serious.

Nonetheless, the conversation provoked a 5 minute reflection on what it would take to make 2007 more amazing than expected.

Here's my list of new year solutions:

1. More Stella Artois
2. More Belle & Sebastian
3. Some neat scotch
4. Start an investment club
5. Slap Alex Trebek
6. Read Shaw, Orwell, & Joyce
7. Drink coffee
8. Date a girl who rides motorcycles
9. Stop practicing Santeria
10. Watch more film noir

Fuck yeah '07

I take a special delight in knowing that your list has made someone we both love dearly so mad that she's hissing right now. Literally hissssssing. She's also harshly whispering under her breath: "Stop fucking making resolutions for everything you SEE on television. Just. Stop."

Delight.

Also, Fuck Yeah '07 is gonna hit the dissy hard, like a pimp slapping C.
