When a guy like me starts talking about resolution, it’s usually about how many dots per inch he has on his monitor. But it’s nearing New Years and I should try to come up with some resolutions maybe. I usually fail at anything I resolve, so I’ll have to think on this for a bit to see if I can come up with something.

If the past few days are any guide, I should probably resolve to stop drinking cheap whiskey, or expensive whiskey if it comes from Japan. The stuff my dad had squirreled away isn’t as bad as I remember. Maybe my taste buds are going dead or maybe the wood alcohol all evaporated off. In any case, why drink the cheap stuff, unless it’s free?

I should probably also try to get more sleep. I’ve been averaging 8 hours during this snowstorm and it started out pretty nice. I’ve been dreaming, which I can’t remember doing much until now, though I can’t remember the dreams I’m having. The drawback is that I’m now not able to sleep. It’s either the weather or that I’m sleeping too much.

I should probably stop watching so many weird movies. Today I watched a Japanese sci-fi gangster movie, (Dead or Alive: Final), a Russian gangster movie (Eastern Promises), and Little Miss Sunshine. I guess I was underwhelmed by the last movie, and I shouldn’t sit around so much.

I did get out once today, and had lunch with my buddy Greg and his family. I also had Jay the Contractor come by to look around and find out what tools he left here. He had his truck with the rest of his tools stolen yesterday. And finally, I was outside sweeping up the shards of plastic left by the sledders (genius parents would bring plastic tubs that would freeze and break and they’d leave the shards) and also picking up the soggy cardboard that was thrown into the bushes. My next door neighbor has a huge drop box and he let me put the mess in with his construction waste. I guess I should resolve to do him more favors this next year.

And finally, I think I’m going to resolve to do something that I don’t like doing. I’m thinking of skiing or maybe even camping again. I may even get on a horse or go line dancing. Who knows?
