My New Years Resolutions

It’s about that time of year; you know the time I’m talking about. People are happy and optimistic, a new year is rapidly approaching and another unfulfilled year has past. Whether your 2006 plans involved losing weight (and you gained a comfortable 20 pounds), being a better person (and you were except for all those times you laughed at the homeless, screamed at an old lady in the car in front of you, cheated in one form or another or deliberately hurt somebody’s feelings to make yourself feel better), or something as simple as improving your life in just one way (going to the gym, quit smoking, only drink on days that end in Y). Regardless of what expectations you set, 2007 is right around the corner; it’s another day and another year to change yourself and the world, one day at a time. So without further adieu, I present you my 2007 resolutions, in no particular order.

Those of you who have known me for a long time should be relatively acquainted with my personality. I have always been shy, particularly around people I have just met; this year my goal is to come out of my shell. I want to be loud, I want to have fun and most importantly I want to be able to sing and dance and meet women without fear of rejection.

I’ve always been a very good person; never disrespectful, always polite. This year I want to grow a set. I want to tell people how I really feel; occasionally stick up for what I believe is right, I want to get into arguments just because I can. No more playing the innocent and nice guy; it is time to be heard.

Coming from such a small and quiet college and never really having the crazy and outgoing social life that I’ve always wanted, I feel it is about time to get wild. I want to drink (maybe even more than one time per week) I want to try and get kicked out of a bar. I want to go home with random women and not ever ask for their names. I want to have fun without worrying.

And my last resolution is one that I believe everybody should consider. Instead of trying to always please the people around me, I think it is time to be selfish. I want to make myself happy before I worry about others. It is my life and I want to live the way I want to live. So if you have a problem with me you can kiss my ass.
