Resigned...

Resigned, as in "I can resolve to do, or not do, something this year but I'm resigned to the fact that I most likely won't, or will, do it anyway."

In 2009, I hereby resolve that I WILL (probably not, in spite of my honest best intentions):

• Develop patience.
• Stop buying sushi from the grocery store.
• Organize my baseball card collection.
• Grow out of wanting to collect baseball cards.
• Become someone who knows about and appreciates wine.
• Get over it.
• Learn Spanish.
• Renounce McDonalds and all the delicious and convenient evil it stands for.
• Go on a cruise. Or at least a vacation.
• Quit complaining about traffic.
• Quit complaining about the weather.
• Quit complaining about the weather while stuck in traffic.
• Stop opening emails from people I don't know just because my name appears in the subject line.
• Not ignore positive feedback.
• Dwell incessantly on negative feedback.
• Care at least a little less about the outcome of professional sporting contests than the individuals who actually get paid to play them.
