New years resolutions

So - 2009 is soon upon us.... damn, 2009. Saw a (classic) Simpson episode where they fantasized about 2010. Where does the time fly.
Anyway - I was wondering if people make any new year resolutions?
Personally, being a man, I don't need such things
(yeah yeah, I'm kidding
)
So my only resolution generally - as it always is - is to drink no less next year, only eat food I enjoy when I have a choice, and generally live like I want to live and don't care about what others think.
Seriously though - my only actual resolution is that I do not want to keep being annoying/frustrated with work, so either I find something new, or I somehow change my situation at work.
So - what's everybody's resolutions?
And happy new year everybody. 2009, 'ere we go.

Just one.
Be more organized.
Of course, having a Treo and an OC for a secretary helps! :laugh:
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!!!

It sounds as though for some people, making New Year Resolutions is probably futile...
I just read this quote by André Gide:
But can one make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits...

To make a New Year resolution is to admit you sucked last year. That's why I never make any.
Happy New Year folks, have fun.

One involves doing naughty things with a certain woman I haven't met yet, the other involves getting Rosegarden (a digital audio workstation) to run on Ubuntu - and then make lots of music. They are on equal difficulty categories, though somehow it seems like I can't have both.

Happy New Year everybody!
My New years resolutions are:
- Completing Neverwinter Nights & Neverwinter Nights 2 (+all official expansions to both games).
- Losing 10 kg´s (somehow that doesnt match very good with the first resolution)
- Making more money than 2008 (which shouldnt be hard)

To be the best possible father to my son, and that's all there is.

lol!
Perhaps it is fair to say that in the case of some people, they don't so much have "an inner child," as they do "inner twins."
Anyway, on topic, I resolve to be less introverted and attempt to function better in large groups of people where I hardly know anyone

Thanks Mar, it's good to be back. I've been pretty busy for the last year or so, but my resolution is to balance what I must do, what I should do, and what I want to do in a way that better includes people and things that I value.
Strangely, I missed you mangy lot.

1) get a better job (working in subway doesnt really do it for me)
2)start playing guitar again. (i used to play when i was about 10, but my guitar broke and ive wanted regretted not getting a new one. even though 7 years is a bit of a big gap and i'll need to go back to getting lessons)

*Sigh...* Thats a good one, to pick up a musical instrument again. Its now on my To Do List
My resolution is to simply see out the year, in other words I may just bury my head in the sand and wait for this gloomy financial crisis to pass over.

You need my stock quote morale booster
I made a GreaseMonkey script which changes all the negative values on my favorite stock quote page into positive numbers

I agree except for this one:
To be the best possible father to my son, and that's all there is.
The same here, Moonbiter

this should come to be reality soon, i've spotted a beautiful Encore E99 for only £100! plus my parents have offered to pay half, so i should be able to get it quite soon.
the ice bird monarch is pleased, indeed.
