New Year's Resolutions that are 99% ignored

Finally, 2013 is almost Over!! The year of the rant-a-day-keeps-the-Doctor-away kept Matt Smith away in the end... Now we even got a New Doctor... but, I'm not going to do a look back on 2013 today. New Year is coming and it's Resolution time...
We claim to do a list of things to do Next Year as a new beginning... Most of the list is Bull...

-Lose weight: This seems to be very popular especially around the Holidays and all that food...
No matter how your subconscious goes Ahnuld on you

You're ignoring the heck out of it... Exercise is hard work, and most of the "healthy alternatives" end up either being incredibly bland flavored, or make you crave unhealthy stuff...

OK, let's take a look at Subway... the "Healthier choice" in fast food... The cheeses and dressings (Mayo, bbq sauce, etc.) make the sandwich a lot less healthy... The add the Cookie to the mix and the only thing losing weight is your wallet.

-Quit X: Some smokers say, they're quitting smoking, alcoholics say the same about the drink... Others have their own personal demons to quit... but it's not easy.

Especially if they're trying to do it cold Turkey... again, this is closely related to the first item on my list.

-Get rid of old junk: Ah this one is popular especially with a collector who has a significant other that considers the Collection as competition... That is taking up space in the garage, basement, attic, etc.
So one does the "getting rid of old junk" resolution... There is one slight catch. The moment that the "purging" begins The collector suffers a transformation... Just because you wanted to get rid of those old comics that he doesn't read that were signed by some guy named "Stanley"...

Even trying to part with the items online can be risky...

-Redecorate: Either to appease the significant other or for oneself, this one is often mentioned but it can turn to be far more expensive and requiring too much labor to do... It's a lot easier than sticking to a diet and exercise regime, but there is always an excuse: Doctor Who Marathon, Company Picnic, oh it's X's Birthday! I sprained my ankle...
Sinful Animal
Alas, the Sinful Animal strikes again, as a matter of fact, This Animal is the reason why MOST New Year's Resolutions fail...
Because we put up with Unrealistic Goals for Resolutions and the moment we don't see immediate results we give in to the Sinful Animal that somehow hasn't gone extinct by doing nothing.

Just go for realistic goals... If you wanna go with the traditional BS resolutions, add the word TRY... That way you still did it even if you fail...
Great! I'm teaching y'all to cheat at New Year's Resolutions... Nah! Just messing with ya... One thing I can promise is: I won't rant every day, but I shall rant as much as possible! (maybe more than one rant a day in some cases) Happy New Year's
