New Years Resolution 2008

Last year, I made a few resolutions (1, 2, and 3). Out of the three, I was able to keep one. So this year, I decided to even out the odds and I'm only going to have ONE New Year's Resolution: Stop Biting My Nails.
I have been biting my nails since I was a little kid, and I imagine it will not be easy breaking a habit that is 25 years old. So I enlisted a little help. I purchased this nail polish on amazon.com* that pretty much tastes like arse.
Regardless on how gay I look when I put on this nail polish (not to mention the lipstick), it seems to work. I have not bitten my nails in a pretty long time. They are even starting to grow out! However, I am noticing a problem with the polish. While I no longer bite my nails, I also have to be careful about eating finger foods especially when I want to lick my fingers. It happens quite a bit and I always feel like an idiot for forgetting.
I hope to keep my resolution this year. So far so good, and I'm on my way to the glamorous world of having finger nails.



*A side note about amazon.com, a friend and husband of one of my coworkers just got a job there. Congratulations, Andy!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2008 to all my readers!
Don't feel like typing much, so here is a funny bacon chart I found over at Mantrout.

New Year's Resolution 3 of 3

Speaking about common resolutions, my third and last one is to lose weight. I am achieving this by a combination of jogging, gym, and dieting. Unfortunately, dieting in this country proves to be difficult because of the over abundance of fast food restaurants.
IT would be so much easier if they sold food like this.

New Year's Resolution 2 of 3

My second resolution is a very common one: learn a new language. For this task, I chose the beautiful language of Italian for three reasons:

1. I have Italian heritage.
2. I can speak Spanish, which is very similar to Italian.
3. I took it in college and already have the books.

And as an honorable mention, here is reason 4:



Very convincing.

New Year's Resolution 1 of 3

So this year, I am going to tackle three New Year's resolutions. The first of three being to learn how to solve the Rubik's Cube. One day I will defeat this dude.
