Yes, I know I’m quite late, but better than never. My favorite thing about a new year is that Dave Barry has again summed up the past year as only he can. Go ahead and read it. No really, read it now!
If 2008 taught us anything, I believe it was that experts don’t know jack. Between politics, climate, gas prices, and the economy, most ‘experts’ don’t have a freaking clue how to forecast events. My prediction for 2009 is that all predictions will be wrong. Ruminate on that for awhile.
Now for 2009 resolutions. What, January’s almost over, why should I bother making resolutions now? The year is only about 6% over so there’s plenty of time to make progress. More importantly, this is the time where most people have begun to abandon their resolutions. So you see, my procrastination and laziness shall prove to be the tortoise that triumphs over the hare. At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Get In Shape: Yes, it’s cliché, but by no means unnecessary. I’ll begin with training for 100 push-ups and 200 sit-ups (thanks BullMoose for the idea) and tracking my nutrition on My Food Pyramid site. We see where that takes me. I’ll update any progress.
Read More Books: It’s one of life’s simplest and greatest pleasures, yet I don’t recall finishing a single book last year. This year I’ll try to tackle a book every month. I’ll give a brief before and after each one.
PS – Here’s the NYT list of 2008 buzzwords, so you can stay in the know.
