New Year

Happy New Year!!!

New Years is such a weird event. Think about it.. it is just another day.

A certain drunk friend of mine last night complaint about how everything revolves around the Christian calendar. Well, technically it is the Roman calendar... and it is the base of our culture. Not our fault. There are so many different ways people can criticize some days and cultures. My professor said culture is man made and it is now geared towards consumerism.

However, I don't like to look at things in the negative light. Think about it this way, when will people ever give stuff to other people and gather together with family and friends? Almost never. Work and school occupy quite a chunk of our lives. Christmas and New Year give us reason and time to spend with our loved ones. I think it's great. The time off is great.

Another great thing about New Years, is the resolutions. People might not achieve them... but at least there is the want to. To know that one has things to work on and striving to work on them gives humanity hope :).

My resolution comes down to three basic things:

1. Exercise at least three times a week

2. Be diligent --> use time wisely!

3. Finish my checklist!

2010 IS the year, guys!
