I despise New Year's Resolutions and do not make them.
That is all.

Really interesting, and at the same time, slightly depressing.

Besides, you're perfect the way you are. At least your mother thinks so.
I am not touching that comment. Not for anything.
Especially not in public.
David has an interesting theory about your... love of hate. So I did some stat checking.
A tally of words and phrases from RW:
"I hate" - 12 appearances
"I despise" - 7 appearances
"I ...(usually there are some strong words between I and dislike) dislike" - 4 appearances
On the other hand:
"I love" - 7 appearances, mostly having to do with other blogs, philosophy and/or music
And the always perplexing:
"I love/hate" - 1 appearance
Happy New Year!
I'm a little surprised the tally isn't more lopsided.
Did you or David draw any conclusions?
What about a statement of purpose or mission statement?
LT, can you explain a bit more? I don't get it.
I just read the quote on your sidebar, about disidence. You might not believe the sheer volume of crapola I go through, just because I like cats and go out and get them fixed, working for nothing. I get labeled all sorts of things, put down, made fun of, it's unbelievable. And all I ever wanted to do, and still do, is get as many cats fixed as I can before I die. But now I'm a cat disident. Guess it's a compliment sort of. Some people label me an animal activist, whatever that means. I'm active, that's for sure, but that label to me sounds like a lobbyist or protestor. I've been called a PETA terrorist, too, and I hate Peta because they hate feral cats. Well, so it goes in catland.
Re: mission statements, etc.
There was a time in my life when I had a statement of who I wanted to be, something that I could modify once a year, either on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
Basically, it was coming up with a statement of what I valued, expressed in a way that someon might describe me. I identified the areas of life that are important and described who I would like to be in that area.
So for example, rather than saying I want to read X number of books, I would say that I am an intellectual, interested in learning about myself and the world.
It's more meaningful to say that I want to be a healthly, active person than to say I want to lose weight.
Resolutions are a surface dusting. A statement asks you to go down to your very core, to find what is the essential you and what you want to be the essential you.
It is a private document. If you do it right, your life will make your statement superfluous. Editing it once a year gives you a chance to look back over the year and a chance to look forward to the rest of your life.
