Reset The Counter

There's no fucking way I am going to clean this mess up.

Also, I just want to take a moment to encourage everybody to fail at their New Year's resolutions.

But Famous M, you protest, why so sour in 2008?

Oh, come on! New year, same old cynical curmudgeon. But honestly, who are you fooling? You really think that the magical power of January first is going to help you go to the gym or watch what you eat or make you read more or improve your organization?

I treat resolutions like my birthday (always to be served with ice cream cake?) - with no desire to spend one day basking in the high focus glare of other's adulation and attention, and preferred to be spread out throughout the year rather than concentrated. Do yourself a favor and don't make a production of your claim. You only have further to fall when you slip up. Quietly achieve your goal and make it part of your routine, because that's the only way it will stick.
