OK, so it's 2012, a new year, and you know what that means, New Years Resolutions!!!
So what are your resolutions for the new year?
oh, wait, I don't care.
New Years Resolutions are fucking stupid and for lazy procrastinators. Of course no one is perfect and we all could use a little self-improvement, myself included, but waiting for a certain time of year to do it is just an excuse for putting off something that you should be doing when you notice the "problem".
For example, what are the usual New Years Resolutions?
1. Quit Smoking
2. Lose weight/get healthier/exercise more, etc. etc.
ok, so say its sometime around September, and your smoking a sweet cigarette, and you notice a nasty cough start to develop, you notice your getting winded much easier, etc. So you think to yourself "man, I should quit these things, they make me feel like shit. I know, I'll keep smoking for another couple months and stop for my New Years Resolution!"
Good idea man, keep on puffin' on those things for another couple of months, im sure it will be fine.
Wrong. The longer you do it, the harder its going to be to quit, so you probably should've done it back in September dont you think? Why wait until some "random" time of year to do it, only making it a harder thing to do once that time comes?
Sorry about the rant, its just something that bugs me this time of year.

While I definitely agree that most people are lazy, procrastinating fucktards and toss off "resolutions" they know they'll never see through, I definitely like the idea of making goals for a year.
Anyone worth a shit should be keeping in shape, eating well, working hard and constantly bettering themselves no matter what. I'll never understand people that let something go to complete shit before taking care of it.
I really dig starting a year with solid, concrete goals like "Record and release a single song on a 10 inch record" or "Save $___ by the end of the year" or "Diversify the stock portfolio to include these 5 sectors". I think making goals (real, considered, measurable goals) and executing them rules.
I agree, there is nothing wrong with setting various goals to achive this year, but my problem is that why does it have to start on such an arbitrary (ish) date?
Why not set the goals when you come up with them, like "by August 14th 2013, exactly one year from now (just using a random date as an example), I hope to have a 10" record out". Thats all I'm saying, heh.
