New Year's Resolutions

I don't have much luck sticking to New Year's Resolutions. Of course, it helps that I rarely bother to have any, but I didn't keep any of the few from last year. So I'm going to have another crack at it this year. Here is my 2009 list:

• Stop trying to converse with people who aren't interested in conversation. They are only interested in sycophants anyway.
• Avoid noxious and vexing people, they aren't worth wasting time with. They are, as the song says, soulless energy suckers. Who needs them?
• Draw something every day. Anything will do.
• Regain French. I dream in French regularly, but couldn't speak it if I had to, so I'd like to get that back.
• Lose weight. More specifically, I want to get down to 145 lbs. I managed to lose and not regain about 20 lbs last year, which leaves me with 15-20 lbs to go. I can do that.
• Exercise regularly. Goes with losing weight, but I should exercise whether or not I'm trying to lose a pound.

That's my list for this year. I don't expect to keep them all, but I'm going to try.

And now, I'm going to go draw something.
