Resolutions?


I know. I’m lazy. But I made myself a New Year’s resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have ‘til December, right?
~ Catherine O’Hara

New Year's Day now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.
~ Mark Twain

Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average… which means, you have met your New Year's resolution.
~ Jay Leno

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
~ Oscar Wilde

The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to.
~ P.J. O’Rourke
A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other.
~ Anonymous

  1. Mark Twain is so darn funny. I wish I could attend a cocktail party with him and Benjamin Franklin.

  18. The Jay Leno one is scary because it's true.

  19. LOL. These are so funny! Jay Leno's quote is sadly true, isn't it? I hope I can keep my resolution which is to finish the first draft of my manuscript by the end of the year.

  20. These are great. Now I know I have the whole year to write something special. Whee. Can take my time. :) I stopped making resolutions years ago because they didn't last a week.

  22. Ugh, excuse the typo. It's late. :(

  23. I don't make New Year's resolutions. But that Jay Leno quote makes a good point. If the average person in America is overweight, then I guess if you're overweight, you're actually average weight. So a lot of people became average weight without having to do anything. Good for them, I guess.
