New Year's Resolutions

I will assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.

I will not sit in my living room all day in my underwear. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom.

I will no longer waste my time reliving the past; I will spend it worrying about the future!
