I gave up resolutions long ago. I have dedicated the last few years to specific "projects":

2006: Get my finances straightened out. Done.
2007: Get my health in line. Done.

Dedicating the entire year to these has resulted in major lifestyle changes that have kept me from falling back into old habits.

2008? I'm not sure yet. I need to get an agent and try to make some advances as an actor. I also need to develop a social life. Both are scary. Both will take interpersonal skills I need to work on.

I don't have to decide right away. It's a year long project, right?

I hope/resolve/am going to try again to
quit smoking
etc


yeah yeah, we'll see

Please do. I wouldn't ever like to lecture someone on their choices in life, but a few days ago we took my father-in-law to the hospital. He was there for 3 days. He now has to be on oxygen most of the time. :(

For years, I intended to quit smoking. Finally, I resolved to (and made a promise to Tori) and actually did it. If I have any resolutions in '08, it's to loose the damn weight I gained when I quit and keep it off. I also resolve to pay down my credit cards- I don't owe a lot, so barring any unforeseen problems I should be able to do it by years end.
