New style New Year’s resolutions

Like many people, when Jan. 1 rolled around I jotted down the 2010 version of my New Year’s resolutions. In all, there were about 15 of them. Seven that I planned on keeping at least through the spring and three hopefully well into the summer.
But then I decided to take an entirely new direction. Instead of trying to stick to some promises that will only cause me pain and failure, I decided to make resolutions that I know I will have no problem keeping. The idea being that success breeds more success. So when the year is up and I have kept all my resolutions, I will take it to the next level in 2011. Or not.
Regardless, here are a few of the resolutions I will try to keep this year:
1. I will watch massive amounts of ESPN, South Park, True Blood and NCIS: Los Angeles.
2. I will continue to drive a SUV even though I believe in global warming.
3. I will Pay my rent two days late just to upset my landlord.
4. I will Disagree with everything FOX’s Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck spout off about even after they starting crying.
5. I will Send out more than 5,000 texts every month, with half of them just to bother friends throughout the day.
6. I will not wear parachute pants when I hang out in Bricktown on the weekends.
7. I will continue to wait for Halle Berry to ask me out on a date.
8. I will Laugh at Oklahoma State football fans everytime they say “This is our year.”
These are a few of mine. What New Year’s resolutions have you set for yourself?
