What I Don’t Need to Change This Year.

I'm a big believer in New Year's Resolutions. I usually make three a year. Some Past resolutions include: learn to pay guitar, read a biography of every president, learn to juggle, finish my game machine project, and finish my book (this one I make about every year). I have met with varying degrees of success. I can juggle. I can play a very slow blues progression on the guitar. I've read up to James Madison's biography and I'm about half way through Team of Rivals. As for my book, well maybe next year. I have never felt like I didn't see one through. While I may have not succeeded completely at all of them I always make an effort.
This year I have decided that I need to not make resolutions. Or more specifically, I want to try and live a life that needs, less resolutions. As I have grown older, and hopefully wiser, I see that life is less about where you go overall, than it is about the little things that you put into that whole. I want to be someone that looks at the book about fixing cars and says I'm going to do that now. I'm going to learn how to play Parcheesi. Or maybe its time to play though The legend of Zelda again. I may not solve world hunger, or finish my book (man I really need to do some work on that), but I will try to be the man that does "The Things", not just someone who says "I always wanted to do that."
In 2009, my resolution is to not have New Year's Resolutions, but rather January resolutions, or Wednesday resolutions; to have resolutions in supply, as needed. Will I succeed? Maybe, but hopefully I will feel like I tried.

P.S. I in no way support Parcheesi and all the dark undertones within.
