I hate New Year resolutions!

Ok, so I really do hate them. Let’s be real, how many people do actually stick to them? Every year we are bombarded with tens of thousands of ads, emails, blog entries, websites all telling us that this is the time to make that change we’ve been wanting to for months. Pft! Give me a break. Browsing one of the forums I’m a member of, I saw one of these lists. One girl or guy had, among other things, the following : “learn Chinese, German, French, Spanish” and some other language! I mean come on…We all know you’re not going to do it…there’s no way in hell any normal person would have time to learn 5 different languages to a decent level in a year! And there were 12 or something like other points on that list. I read that people are going to quit smoking, lose 50 billion kilograms, stop drinking, go out more. All crap. Not one of them is going to actually do every damned thing on their list. Most people won’t do one thing on their list. But for at least another week we’ll keep hearing that it’s never to late to start or stop something. Like there’s any point in giving up smoking at 80. Or whatever. I’m pissed. Whomever decided that the New Year(why do we spell it with capital letters anyway?) is a great moment to do something was a moron. It just sets us up for disappointment when another year goes by and we haven’t done any of the things on that list. You might also notice that smart people tend to avoid that by conveniently losing or forgetting the damned resolutions.
I don’t have a list. I don’t have a resolution. I’m perfect?
