mainstream....

I'm going to go ahead and apologize for writing this considering it's probably the most predictable blog post I've ever written. Yes, I am talking about New Year's Resolutions. What's that? No, it's not just a dream. It's a goal! And sadly only 12% of people are ever actually successful. So start with small specific steps such as losing a pound a week rather than just to "lose weight".

Ironically, Kim Kardashian's resolution of 2011 was to stay single the entire year of being 30. For those of you who don't know, she got married and divorced within 72 days. Welcome to the 88% of new year's losers, Kim. That leads to her 2012 resolution which is "to tone it down", which she has already begun to do by changing her Twitter background to nothing. Baby steps, baby steps. Rob Kardashian wants to start a sock line because he says he sees patterns in his head. Try seeing a doctor, Rob. Ashton Kutcher wants to be nice, Lea Michele wants to have fun, and the grouchy Simon Cowell is resolved to not make a resolution. Thanks, pessimist. Miley Cyrus says she wants to stop smoking in 2012, and she can just hand over her cigarettes to Adam Levine who is resolved to START smoking in 2012. Well played...

I'm usually not a big fan of resolutions, but decided maybe this year I could use some revision. My resolutions are as follows (and not in order of importance):
1. blog more often! let's say once a week. and you guys can hold me accountable (:
2. exercise at least 30 minutes a day
3. replace junk food with healthy alternatives
4. spend money wisely
5. be loving and caring and "there" for people, and more friendly all around
6. seek out opportunities rather than wait for them
7. number 7 is a secret
8. study harder
9. solve a 4x4 rubiks cube
10. YOU PICK, yeah just pick a resolution for me and i might try it out (:

So back to talking about the average person and their resolutions studies show that men succeed when they set goals, and women succeed when they make their resolutions public and get help from their friends. (So what else is new?) Good luck to you all in your new years resolutions (:
