New Year ... New You? WTF?

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind...

What is it about the New Year that makes people create so many resolutions, boundaries and op ions of others and things associated with anything before 12 midnight ... which was er um just a second ago? So we Cheer, and we shake noise makers, throw streamers ... rock out with our jocks out to welcome in another 365 days.

What changed at midnight?

Did your bank account become flooded with millions? Did your circumstances or living quarters smell of roses and dandelion? How about the pumpkin of a car ... did it mysteriously turn into that four house powered beamer that you've been eyeing.

Things that may have changed at that moment... Your relationships with others after you became a belligerent drunk and jumped into the pool naked...Your dogs bowels since you decided to give it a New Years drink after all ... your job since you took it upon yourself to drunk dial your boss and say what you've really been feeling for the last 365 days... and last but not least your phone plan since you've used up all your anytime and where ever minutes texting people who are "Just not that into you" -- HELLOU

I just don't get the whole ideology behind "IT'S A NEW YEAR AND A BRAND NEW ME" ... c'mon. I mean obviously i get it -- but really?

No really?

CLIP!

Everyday is a new day ... I don't see anyone promoting any NEW DAY RESOLUTIONS PARTIES!!! At what point in the old year to you say forget it and chalk it up as a loss? 245 days? 120 days in? Where do all of your resolutions go to die? Do you recycle or trade in resolutions? I like the people who try to be inventive and ask everyone "So what are your resolutions this year?" ... then try to BRA-HA HA this brand new way to say the same thing they said and didn't do last year.

WOW - REALLY, DUDE?
no really?

What is it? You have the next day or even the next hour if your motivated to re-vamp the program. I get the whole mistakes make you resilient ... love that. I saw the same folks "WORKING OUT" last New Years ... 20 pounds heavier this NYE. Guess what their resolution was this time around ... "WORKING OUT AND REALLLY STICKING TO IT" and I KNEW they were serious because they put the emphasis on REALLY!!

I mean, don't get me wrong as cynical as this blog may be I'm a GREAT supporter of ideas. I love what's authentic as well as refurbished. Adore the creative and inventive ... by nature I'm practical, yet I'm a hopeless romantic - I like dates that leave the earth like hot air balloon rides with champgne and stomach aches. I respect what's real and at times appreciate and become infatuated with the elusive. I'm an ambivalent gypsy from another time ... yet I was birthed from my mothers womb on May the 18th way back in 1977.

Life is whatever you make it. A new second, minute, hour, day creates a new space upon your book of "ME".

Changing your resolutions won't make them stick, but changing you and your habits will make way for a new you in the new year and for that you don't have to wait out another 365 days!

Be your boss

Know yourself

Create your own life - dont let the New Year map it out and mold it for you!

Thanks for stopping by!
