un-resolve

i don't believe in new year's resolutions. if i had to resolve to do something, it would be to not have a new year's resolution. i know i should give up smoking (again), but i should do it because i need to, not because it's january first. i know i should make it a habit of doing my laundry once a week, but let's face it, i'm busy, and i have enough underwear and clothing to go a month without thinking about it. i know that i should stay home more, drink less, or join a gym. there's a million things that i should resolve to do. but being the stubborn female that i am, i won't do it just because i should. i'll get around to it eventually when i feel like it, whatever that 'it' ends up being. one at a time and never in order. i never really understood new year's resolutions anyway. people will make one, and maybe they'll be good for a month, or two, or a week. some don't make it a day. so what is the point? to start a year with a clean slate? to me, it just doesn't work that way. every year is just an extension of the last. you'll still have the same family, the same friends. more than likely the same job. you'll live in the same place in the same town in the same state. you'll have the same memories and just be the same person that you were on december thirty-first. why should you change something just to say you did? something that you'll go back on anyway? my non-resolution resolution is perfect. i never go back on it.
