Goodbye, two thousand and sucks. Hello, two double-O-seven. Yes, much like the secret agent himself, I predict the coming year will be filled with intrigue, ingenuity, and charisma. I'm not making any promises, but 2007 is looking quite promising. And not a moment too soon. It seems everyone I know couldn't wait for 2006 to just die already.
So the obligatory resolutions. Well, I'm not going to eat better nor will I exercise more. We all know I adore gluttony and sloth way too much to deny myself those sinful pleasures. I'm not going to say I'll quit smoking... but only because I already have ;) nicotine-free for 9 months now. No, my resolution is much simpler: I will make a consistently conscious effort to thoroughly engage myself in daily activities that bring me nothing but utter happiness.
Sounds selfish, doesn't it. But it isn't about taking more than I need, it's about replenising what has long since drained itself from my soul. Spending entire weekends watching DVD box sets of "life-altering" television shows from a decade ago will no longer be viewed as a waste of time. It'll be comforting. I want to I'm going to read more... like books... with words! Yes, I'm going all out. It'll be enlightening. I plan to seek out good music and good movies and good internet viral videos before it's yesterday's news. It'll be rewarding. And of course, I can't forget my dark mistress. Oh videogames, how I love you so. I'm so sorry I've neglected you all these years. It's time to give you the love and attention you've always deserved. And that will be rejuvenating. And if the culmunation of these minor events all mashed up over the days, weeks, and months to come make a more energetic and optimistic me... then I think the world at large will be better for it.
Oh yes... one last resolution: I will (attempt to) blog more. I won't do it every day. Because if I say I would I'd be a liar. And I'm not ready for that kind of commitment. But I'll try to keep it interesting, mix it up, shake it around. Haha... I'm sure this will be the obligatory resolution that is doomed to be broken.
