Happy New Year!

I'm not actually one to get all riled up for the new year, it's just a day, right? And as much as everyone loves saying hi to the new one, it's tough to let go of your good buddy 2k6, tragically cut down in his prime.

But since I have a blog now, I have a responsibility, no, a duty, to post my new years resolutions. Let's start with an overview of last year's resolutions:

2006 Resolutions:
1. Think up some resolutions for 2007.

It's not exactly Samuel L. Jackson's "Continue being badass," from back in the 90's, but you have to admit, the list has charm. And it's concise. Everybody loves concise.

But really, that list pretty much sums up 2006 for me: make a new plan. Yeah I started a blog, but it got lost in the rush. Sure, NaNoWriMo was fun, but really, at the end of the year, all I had was a hangover and a Nintendo Wii.

Although now that I think about it, that's a pretty solid list.

But most important, I'm sitting here looking at 2007, and thinking I've got a pretty good idea of what I want out of the new year. So with a clean conscience, I'm checking off #1 from last year's list.

So, without further ado, here's my list of ...

Resolutions for 2007:
1. Post to the blog religiously. If you're not at least doubling Hands In the Air's output, not even "quantity over quality" will be able to save it.
2. Don't buy a PS3. You're not retarded.
3. Start your damn webcomic. Find an artist, draw freakin' stick figures if you have to. Just... do it.
4. Edit your damn novel, and then put it online.
5. Make a damn video game.
6. Use "incongruency" in a sentence other than this one.
6. Continue being badass.
7. Think up some resolutions for 2008.

It's a long list, I know, but I'm a pretty tall guy.

Happy New Year, umm, again...
