New Year Resolutions From Around the World

Happy New Year to all!  We all know it’s customary to make resolutions for the New Year. I checked around and here are some resolutions from around the world.

• Here’s my favorite: 10 New Year’s resolutions for geeks from Wired, including keeping an open mind about the new Star Trek movie.
• Jenny Cruise resolves not to do a bunch of stuff.
• About.com’s Albrecht Powell has compiled a list of the most common resolutions.  Yeah, yeah, we all know that we need to get in better shape, do more for others, learn something new, yada, yada.
• Veronika from Prague wants to brush her teeth every night even when she’s tired.
• Here are a college student’s resolutions, written from a professor’s point of view.  Number 1?  Attend all classes!
• Beliefnet has a list of suggested resolutions for celebrities.  Dear Britney: please assess if you and K-Fed are right for each other.
• Here are some resolutions for the gaming industry.  No more holiday avalanches, please!
• American Spectator has resolutions for other people.  For President-Elect Obama: Don’t alienate the many independent and moderate-to-conservative Democrats.  For Governor Palin: Re-introduce yourself  re-introduce yourself to independents and moderate Democrats.  Is there a theme here?
• Okay, every list has to have a green New Year resolution list.  This one is by SEO by the Sea.  Yeah, we already know we should use less energy and water, but it’s always good to get a reminder.

I’m sure many of us break our resolutions within a few weeks, but it feels good to set personal goals and strive to be better.  My resolutions:

• Eat more lean protein.
• Get back on the treadmill.
• Do one cultural thing each month(okay, maybe every quarter) with my family.
• Make date night with Maki happen more often.
• Get CJ into the right school.
• Start playing the piano again.

Happy New Year!
