Welcome to my resolution

We received about three inches of snow over the weekend, which for my area, is a big deal. The winter weather created light traffic and an easy to navigate shopping experience. And yet, as I arrived at the gym, the cardio room was packed with people, eager to maintain their freshly made resolutions. Ah, the start of a new year.
I personally have never been much of a resolution person. I've tried in the past, only to find myself adjusting the resolution in mid-January, then again at the end of the month only to abandon it by the start of February. The resolutions were generic in nature, usually involving health or money, with no real stated goal. You know how they go; I want to be in better shape, save more money, blah, blah, blah. Like I said, no real goal.
But over the last couple of years, I really lost interest in those hollow promises. If I really wanted to be a better person, why wait until the start of the year? If you really want change, why not right now? I started a workout program during May while getting a better grip on my finances in September. And when I start to slack, I get back on track the first given opportunity.
However, this year I thought I would try again, making the resolutions simple; where I'm not trying to change my entire being, but rather small pieces. And a return to writing this blog is one of the pieces.
Again, I'm hoping to cover a wide range of topics, and hopefully I can make this stick. Now off to play some Guitar Hero... resolution #7.

Five Things I'm digging right now:

1) My new iPod: I had a mp3 player that worked, but I wanted one with the ability to hold more stuff. Thousands of songs without hearing the same one twice.

2) Daniel Johnston: While I haven't watched the documentary about him, I have found myself gravitating toward his music. Some might think childish, but really listen to it.

3) "The Hangover": Sure, it make a lot of money at the box office, but it was the funniest movie of the year. The DVD extra with Ken Jeong is hilarious.

4) "30 Rock": Of the Thursday night show on NBC, this one has turned into the most consistently funny. "The Office" still has it's moments, but "30 Rock" shines.

5) "Modern Family": For those who thought the family sitcom was dead.
