sometimes i forget that life is too short, every birthday and every new years eve reminds me of this but as always it's quickly wiped from my short term memory.
while standing in front of my yearly planner at work trying to mark down what days i want to take off, i quickly glance down at the box that has a big fat "31" written on it against the row marked "December"
boy and girls, the new year is looming so start thinking of new resolutions for the two double OH 5 or strive to tackle those resolutions you set yourself eleven months ago before the year is out.
unless these resolutions are trivial and relatively easy to achieve, a staggering 87% of people don't follow through their new years resolution anyway so why do we bother?
mentality shift my dear friends, mentality shift.
save more, spend less, be more confident, be less vindictive, less procrastination, balls on more line, whatever. these are all there to trigger some sort of mentality shift and hence a permanent and positive change in our personality and behaviour.
just be yourself..
we are continually being influenced by our peers, by the media and even by the very food we eat, going by this, "yourself" is ever changing. the "you" that you are today won't be drastically different from tomorrow's "you" BUT it won't be exactly the same either.
we are constantly refining ourselves, throwing away the bad and keeping the good, how can i make a better thai red curry? how can i be less of a baboon? (not that there's anything seriously wrong with baboons in general)
everyone has their own permanent indiscretions (you are not perfect xtn) ergo, we pursue to better our attributes that we have some sort of control over.
this entry's gone all over the place making tangential lines across the twenty-something's psyche.
you see my friends, all i'm trying to promote is the grabbing of the proverbial bull by the horns that's been passed onto me by countless others and this requires a mentality shift.
he needs a tissue to wipe the shiat that's coming out of his mouth

tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock, what cha waiting, what cha waiting, what cha waiting for?

What if you don't make new year resolutions?
Chip
learning how to drive has been on my new year's resolution list since i was 16 but i still haven't gotten off my L's. hahahaha.
i suck at keeping resolutions.
i don't have the answer chip, i just talk shit.
haha!
though..
some people find it refreshing to have a resolution, a clean slate if you will and some people just don't bother anymore for a myriad of reasons.
what's YOUR reason chip?
riss, u can't get pass your L's and you want to take up violin? go figure. :)
but i haven't tried to get past my L's yet, i still need to clock up 50hours before i go for my P's. haha. i'm so lazy.
i'm sure if i had motivation i'd be able to learn how to play the violin!
how many resolutions do you plan on having yui?
riss, when you play the violin i'll be nba's mvp :)
an off-the-shelf standard resolution is in order for me next year "less procrastination"
giz, YOU go get ROOTED! ahhaa! :)
Maybe you just need to take a bludge-a-thon like me and wait for the epiphanies to hit you.
I'm sure rooting won't hurt either =p.
Oh and stay your fine baboon self, we wouldn't recognise you without the baboonage.
But I AM perfect.
yui: I don't make NY resolutions because I feel it is unnecessary. Improving one's self should not be decided at the beginning of each year but rather, be an ongoing process. As you find faults through your life, you take steps to correct it.
