I Resolve…

New Years’ resolutions always strike me as a bit strange. If you really think about it, we act as though a Sunday night were really significantly different from a Monday morning–significant enough that we resolve to change all the things we don’t like about ourselves.

If I decide on a New Year’s resolution, there’s a good chance that I’ll start working on it before New Year’s Day. But as a tip of the hat to traditions of old, here is my list of resolutions for 2007:

1. Stop being 15 minutes late everywhere I go.
2. Quit over committing to activities with friends and family to the point where I feel stressed out by things that should make me happy.
3. Make it up at least one 5.11 route.
4. Increase my geek quotient by becoming even more of a PHP whore.
5. Get more sleep.

I’m sure there are other things I can do to improve my happiness and well-being, but I’ll think of them later. Right now, I’m off to the gym to work on upper body and core strength for that 5.11 resolution.

I have an idea: let’s all get started on our resolutions at least a day early this year…
