New Years resolutions seem to be a hot topic. people either love them or hate them. They are either lame or super empowering.
Gyms are filled with people pumped up with weight loss resolutions or fitness goals.
Yummy Mummy's aspire to pristine homes and pinterestworthy recipes to celebrate their gloriousness. Yes I am making up words because it is New Year Eve here in Australia and I have already started drinking and if Oprah can so can I!
What are OOT's New years resolutions for 2017? I have added a poll because I can.

I'm gonna kill 2017 dead, I'll tell you what. Bed some comely women, father some children, eat a lot of tasty food. I feel optimistic.

This is easily U2's best song.

Resolutions lame and I don't do them, I do set myself out to accomplish some things from time to time and the lol part is Im starting to be less of a drunk starting januari, only for a few months though so not a new years resolution (more like a new months resolution IYKWIM). Less drinking and smoking always good though.

Can't believe you didn't go with Charlie Robison here.

You also had the option to go with Slaid Cleaves (Kerrville gets a mention in it--not sure what else), but NYD is Charlie's best imo.

Kioshk,

So as to keep the thread somewhat on topic,

But my favorite:

Runner-up:

Saw him at the Kerrville Folk Festival a couple of times years ago. I was an immediate fan.

I've had good luck with mine. My cardio has been trash because I really hate cardio. But this year I resolved to put on running clothes every day and get at least as far as the sidewalk. That's it.

Now each time it has led to me actually running, but it tricks me to only commit to getting changed and getting outside. Then, when I'm out there, I just start running. Hopefully it lasts long enough that I build a habit or whatever.
