New Years Resolutions

Well Gang, spill 'em, and we’ll hold you to it!

Mine:

  1. To get off my ass and find a real career.

  2. The get back into game shape.

Not terribly inventive, but you’ve got to start from the ground up. What do the TM have to offer?

I resolve not to storm my neighbor’s bomb shelter when I find out I was wrong about it being “just another new year”. I’ve got my pride and I’ve seen “Omega Man” enough times to know how to handle the situation.

Note to self: Get “Woodstock” on video so I can watch it without leaving the safety of my penthouse.

To use an apostrophe whenever I type in “New Year’s Resolutions” as a topic.

Sorry, Omni. Two weeks at sea’ll make a guy surly (among other things).

I’ll be quitting smoking forever.
For the fifth year in a row.

I’m resolving to continue to be just as fabulous as I am now.

No resolutions for me.
I am Y2K complacent.

I was going to resolve to give up prostitution and crack, but that doesn’t leave me anything for Lent :wink:

Does anyone remember the song “New Year’s Resolutions” by Spike Jones and the City Slickers? It had each of the members singing a verse (Doodles Weaver’s had the words all messed up, etc.) The only verse I can remember is:

This is myyyyyyyyy New Year’s resolution –
When my mother-in-law begins to scream and shout
Through the window I would like to throw her out
I resolve not to do it here is why
I’m afraid of hitting someone passing by!
This is myyyyyyyy New Year’s resolution!

Omniscient – just thought you might want a link. Not like I’m accusing you of duplicating a thread or anything! :wink:

To use the computer less so I reduce my wrist and eye strain. Otherwise, Omniscient’s are good for me, too.

Like I said in Byz’s thread…to become more adventurous!


I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!

I just want to resolve to get this thread right next to the other one… hey, it worked!

My one and only New Year’s resolution is that this year I will not keep any of my New Year’s resolutions.

I have never actually made a new year’s resolution, partly because I can’t make a decision to save my life, so don’t know what to resolve so to speak and partly because I have never been bothered. SO this year I am FIRMLY resolving to:-
make decisions, they won’t kill me (I hope)
Not be so lazy
I think that is about as much as I can handle. i would love to say give up smoking and go to the gym more regularly but we do have to realistic here.
Best to all for the new year

I am resolving to get back to the shape I was in coming out of high school and becoming a stripper. At least for a night.

Computers have let mankind make mistakes faster than any other invention, with the possible exception of tequila and handguns.

I’d like to read the classic books that I missed out on while I was still in school, one hundred years ago,(half the class read one book, while the other half were assigned a different book) I’d also like to read the books that are to be banned before I can’t find them anywhere;i.e. “Lord of the Flies”.

Get my younger son, Billy, to exercise with me.

Have more fun, rather than making everything become a ‘job to get done’.

Be glad that I didn’t believe in the Y2K panic, but if it turns out to be true, bye ya’ll!

To lose 30 more lbs and keep it off.


Everybody got their Black and Decker… Blood and Fettuccini everywhere

I resolve to have my piano tuned and finally begin to learn to play it. I further resolve to have my piano teacher also teach my son, so we can learn together.

Voguevixen, I love Spike Jones! Still giggle at his “Laura” and “Cocktails for Two” take-offs. The Weird Al and Alan Sherman of his day.

Resolutions? Well the usual: better job, better apartment, better love-life. Didn’t Armistead Maupin say you can’t have all three? Then the hell with #3.

I did join a gym near my office, and will swim 3x a week at lunchtime, hoping to get my Girlish Figure back . . .

okay - that would be good with me too! (I only wish I believed it were possible…)
