this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

It seems that there are two people in this world, those who make New Year's Resolutions and those who do not.  One argument from the later group is that goals should be made when they are needed, not postponed until a certain time of year.  I like deadlines.  I especially like forced deadlines (I tend to not be so good at making them up on my, they seem to get indefinitely postponed).  So, I like New Year's Resolutions.  It gives me a time to actually sit down and think about how I might actually accomplish the goals I've been putting off all year.  Because everyone else is doing it, after all (apparently I like peer pressure, too).
