Default New Year's Resolutions?

with the New Year approaching, I thought it'd be appropriate to invite youse guys to share any resolutions you may have, or ones that you've made and not followed through on.

Personally, if I don't quit smoking soon, I will wind up regretting it.

Implement my evil plans to take over the world.

Win the powerball lottery.

Grow my hair long like MikMik.

Start smoking.

Quit the Maker's diet and start dressing like Jesus.

Tell clients to go away so I can work on putting up my own site. Then apologize and ask them to come back, because after all, I have a website.

Ok seriously, to eat healthier, excersize more, and take steps to pursue financial prosperity so I can be good to my parents in retirement.

New Years resolutions? It's that time of year again?! I just made it through Christmas..So here are my resolutions, I hope they do better than last years :) Let's start with work: to learn all I can about affiliate marketing, have fresh ideas, not let the details get to me. Now for personal/life: take better care of myself and others, be available for more fun time, not let the details get to me.

Happy New Year Everyone! Take care of yourselves, best wishes for 2005 and stay sane....

In the new year, I plan to:
  • * Take my dog for longer walks, even when it's zero outside
    * Pay more attention to husband, especially on our one day off
    * Buy better coffee because I deserve it
    * Stop using so much hairspray
    * Dress like a girl once a week....maybe

The whole concept of New Years resolutions is a little deceiving. All to many take the heat of the moment and set lofty goals, only to dissappoint themselves.

I recommend a more grounded year-round approach of everyday waking with the attitude of learning something new or impoving myself in some way.

Much to my dismay, winter is my dog's favorite time of year. He LOVES snow and he doesn't even mind getting ice in between his toes (are they toes on a dog?).

Back to Yoga.
Clean house. Should do that once a year, right?
More fun time with daughter.

p.s. What's "snow?"

When I tried to talk to my wife about "New Years Resolutions"... She looked me straight in the eyes and said:

"I have a problem with "new Years Resolutions"... No one keeps them"..

You know, she keeps me pretty straight, I had to agree..

I said: " Well I tell you what let's just agree to redouble our efforts and grow our company", I want you home working with me instead of driving 110 miles/day to go to a job in Houston, as soon as possible!

Best wishes to everyone in the new year!

Ken

Count on mikmik for the yuk-yuks. These jokes should be called mikisms, for your patented brand of comedy.

Hey CRich, best wishes with the quit-smoking thing. You can do it!

Default New Year's Resolutions

Let us use technology and business to bring peace, prosperity and poverty alleviation to the world around us. Let us think about the world as one big home, belonging to all of us. Who would like to use technology to destroy our home? Who would like to use business to bring poverty to our home? None, I believe. The eBusiness Professionals possess the tools that can bring about the Change in the whole world. What we need is human consciousness to become aware of what is happening around us, human heart to feel it, human mind to think about it and human body to act for or against it. To do what we can do. That, I believe, should be the New Year's Resolution for the World.

I don't think I've ever made a serious New Years Resolution but I'm going to hop in the no-smoking boat with Crich, Jawn_tech, Mikmik and Mhs. (No sneaking a pack of marlboro and matches on board guys.)
Last cigarette tomorrow night, I'd best savour it.

Default Tricky one

Well I gave up smoking 12 years ago, so I've crossed that one off my list! :o)
Hmmm... I guess I should try to drink a little less beer (and by beer, of course I mean ale!).

Tricky one though... with a new slimline physique, do I really want all those women running after me! LOL!!

To be nice to Moderators, as if!
To help jawn_tech take over the world.
To talk to my wife, no, change that one, ok Mike?
To do unto others but get in first.
To take Marcie's dog for a walk, heck that would take weeks to find her,weeks to walk the dog,and all on Company time and pay, COOOOOOL!
To find Paulhiles an ale that only has 20calories per pint, easy. Paul buys the Ruddles and I drink it he gets the dregs. (see first promise, already broken)
Happy New Year, it cannot be worse than the last few days of this one (hopefully)

Very good point Mumtaz. Through the internet, people all over the world are communicating like never before. It does help bring about a "global consciousness." When we read of tragedies in other parts of the world, we may now think of someone we "know" there from internet communications,... and we begin to realize our interconnectedness--How our actions at home can affect the world. I humbly add to my Resolutions: To realize the significance of my actions and INACTIONS on the Global Community.

In cali snow it's that white stuff on the edge of the nose....

For all you smokers quiters....11 years pack a day, cold turkey mid-pack.

14 months later still drool at them behind the counter, and if MS.me wasnt keeping me stright id be back at it puffing. Coffee is so naked without a smoke.

The hot tip is Zyban helps. Doesnt do the job itself, and I never noticed it helping when i was dying to puff, but when I forgot it a few times thats when you realize the difference it made on the other days.

and for the powerball...I think ill just run on supermarket wet floors instead. Much more favorable odds of striking it rich. Its a sad state.

For the record, I said 'start', not 'stop' smoking. I'm thinking of taking up smoking a pipe as a hobby, growing a handlebar moustache and twisting it as I stare at the WPW screen and say aloud, "Hmmm, I seeee..."

According to David Letterman, pipe smoking seems to have another meaning...it might make you want to think twice before becoming "pipe smokers"...

hoptoo, brilliant! We can even get some guiness and tell each other "brilliant!" like the commercials...

Marcie, well I ordered a pipe from Tommy Chong from this magazine I found...now there's this mysterious van that's been parked in front of my house for a week... maybe I should send this one back. Didn't see the Letterman take on pipes though, in my surfing back and forth with Leno.

Default Pipe Smokers

This is from like 10 years ago when I used to watch Letterman all the time, back in the Chris Elliott days. The term "Pipe Smokers" has more of a homosexual reference according to Dave. Guess I was the only one who caught it!

That Tommy Chong pipe sounds familiar, tho...

Jeez, I haven't watched Letterman in ages! I'm a Jon Stewart fan, especially since I can't stay up late anymore.

Default Treat My Husband With Respect

OK so my real new year's challenge, er, resolution is to change how I refer to my husband in the following areas:
  • He does not have a BEER GUT - He has developed a LIQUID GRAIN STORAGE FACILITY.

    He is not a BAD DANCER - He is OVERLY CAUCASIAN.

    He does not GET LOST ALL THE TIME - He INVESTIGATES ALTERNATIVE DESTINATIONS.

    He is not BALDING - He is in FOLLICLE REGRESSION.

    He does not get FALLING-DOWN DRUNK - He becomes ACCIDENTALLY HORIZONTAL.

And, I would ask that my husband does not refer to me as getting DRUNK or TIPSY but as being CHEMICALLY INCONVENIENCED.

Conan rocks. He is supposed to replace Leno in 8 or 10 more years, something like that. I miss the insult dog puppet. I do still like Letterman sometimes. He needs to get out more and do more skits though, like old times. Drop stuff off buildings himself, on location like before, instead of this new thing of just sitting behind the desk and have someone else do it. Conan's been doing a lot on location -- like the Christmas carolers and the 'baseball from the 1800's'. Now those were funny.
