Yes, I know it being well past the ides of January it is probably too late to be making any New Year’s resolutions, especially considering that most other people have probably given up on their’s already, but I’ve decided to make one anyway.
I normally don’t do the whole resolution thing because I’m pretty honest with myself and know that if I can’t be convinced to change something about myself in August, it probably means I wont have much more success changing myself just because I’ve bought a new calendar recently.
But on my way home from work tonight the wife had me stop at the grocery store for a one or two things. As I was standing in line with 10 things (the list having grown with each successive cell phone call beginning, “I just remembered one more thing…”), my eyes grazed across the selection of celebrity-related magazines. On one of the covers there was a story about Angelina Jolie announcing she was pregnant, and I found myself thinking “Feh, that is old news” and immediately a New Year’s resolution sprung to mind.
This year I resolve to know less about things I shouldn’t know about, like celebrity dating habits. And the flip side of that resolution being that I should know more about things I should know about, like car maintenance, world politics, child psychology, the mating habits of South American poisonous tree frogs, ballroom dancing, string theory, and countless other things that may or may not have any impact on my daily life, but are at least about my daily life (hey, don’t ask what the mating habits of South American poisonous tree frogs have to do with my daily life and I wont ask you any questions about what goes on in your bedroom either).
I guess there is nothing funny about any of this, I’m just saying…

Once again you've stolen my thunder. It's amazing how much time, money, energy, print and gigabytes are devoted to fifty or so people's mating/dating habits. At the same time I've burned a PTO day so a repair man can come over to my palacial home and tell me that the reason my fridge freezes all my food instantaneously is because it is turned up too high. I'm afraid to touch the dial because the last time I did all my food rotted overnight.

If being happy and contended makes me a "ghost of my former self" than I guess I'll have to live with that, even if it is a ghost of a life.
