"New Years Eve!
It’s a new day! It’s a New Year. What to wear? The day with capital D, more dreaded than meeting the in-laws for the first time! For one because of the extraordinary headache, but mostly due to the enormous responsibility that weighs on your shoulders you wished were a little bit broader. It’s the day when everyone gets to be a little Kanye West and ‘put on’, put on their CEO-groove that is. Looking back, evaluating, making sure that the coming year runs smoother than the previous one. To smell the odeur of success you need to be smooth sailin’ a.k.a. well prepared! Some will probably enjoy it as a slice of Marie Antoinette’s pie, the rest are left to fight over the crumbles. The party is over dudes and dudets, time to roll up the sleeves and break out a pen and some paper; its resolution time folks!
Honestly, is there anyone out there that still does this? It’s most definitely a reassuring thought to categorize all the stupidness that goes down in your life, but get real with it! What is a college-ruled sheet of paper and a semi-inspired mind going to change? I’m all in for the making of lists! You make a list when you go grocery shopping, to-do lists for the day/week/month, and so on and so forth, my point is that they are helpful reminders of what we have TO DO, not what not to do. Stay with me for a second and I’ll zoom in and clarify this little philosophical escapade in closer detail. What is our motivation for doing something (?) personally I chose to believe that I do things for a reason, in other words; my actions affect the happenings of things, e.g. things happen for a reason. What I’m trying to underline is that the level of my (and yours) awareness is evolved enough to make me at least somewhat capable of predicting the result of some of my actions. If you chose to follow this argument despite how twisted a statement it is, you agree upon the fact that you reason, never the less how little, before doing something. It’s time to introduce the insanity: Making resolutions –plain crazy or just stupid?
You better brace yourself; I’m not taking any prisoners! How makes resolutions? Personally, I’m bold enough assume that resolution-makers are either one or two things: One, part of an older generation and due to many years of traditions; the habit is difficult to brake. Or secondly, you plain naïve cuz! I like to think that the second alternative is the case in most situations, why (?) because I like to dumb it down fiasco-style. I’m fearless, now hear this, we don’t care about your extra kilos! You need to start thinking that smart is cool dude, or else you’re gonna keep eating salads Monday to Friday and ball out like a new-money G every weekend, B! I’m guessing that some of you readers are standing deer-like with eyes wide open reading this, terrified over the truth that’s slammed in your face like a car, completely unwarned. I believe that the truth, much like revenge, is a dish best served cold. The facts are undeniable, the first week of the year is the healthiest, no wonder the gym-prices rise every year, stupid, short-minded sons of bushes screw it up for the rest of the world!
To all you resolution-ists I only have one piece of advice. Stop using your time and saved up efforts and energy making resolutions, take the ones from last year and make it happen.
It has to start sometime,
It has to start somewhere,
What better time than now (?), What better place than here (!)
Wish you the best of luck, and a superb New Year!" - Frelsersarmeneren
