Resolution? Whatever for? I like myself just fine the way I am thank you. As a matter of fact I think it’s high time people started changing to suit my needs… 🙂

I quit smoking on the Great Smokeout, so now I guess I will need to resolve to complete more artistic projects than I did this year.

For some reason, the last half of last year and all of this year I have been in a funk as far as artistic enjoyment. Perhaps '00 will treat me better.

**Byz** and **Ayesha** , good for y’all!

If you need any _quit smoking_ advice, strategy, or moral support, I’m there for ya.

As one who has quit several addictive substances, I can tell you that cigarettes rank up there with injectable cocaine. It is no walk in the park, but it is **very** worth it. 🙂

Oh, and my resolutions?

1. Lose the 15 lbs. I’ve gained eating all this holiday garbage.

2. Cut back on the only drug I still cling to: caffeine. If I can get it back down to 4 cups a day, I’ll be happy.

3. Going back to grad school January 12.
