    Resolution: the same as it always has been.

    I got sick & fekkin' tired of the constant struggle to make & keep a new year's resolution, so about ~20 years ago I finally made one I could keep.

    I resolved to never make another new year's resolution.

    It's the first one I've managed to keep & I've been doing so for well over twenty years now.

    Neener neener neener. =-)p plbplbplblblblblbbbbbbbhahahahahahha.

    I'm guessing the person who writes the article doesn't get to choose the stock photo for it.
