Non-New Years Non-resolution

I've never been much of a New Years resolution kind of guy. I've tended to figure that if I'm going to do something I'll do it and if I'm not then I'm not. The arbitrary temporal artifice of it being a "New Year" shouldn't make a difference. Indeed, I suspect I'd take it further and say that if I ever did resolve to do something just because of the "New Year" then the secret anarchist inside me would deliberately blow the resolution just to show how bogus the whole notion is.

So - no resolutions for me. No faux-guilt at Christmas' impact on my waistline and no resulting exercise regimes or diets. No pretense of an improved disposition or decision to be less sarcastic or more accepting. As the man said "Oy ams what oy ams" and if oy ams that way then I'll damn well take responsibility for being that way and accept that I've decided who I am and why should I change just coz Judeo-Christian tradition has completed it's yearly 365 day cycle.

So, with that little rant safely out of the way and now a good two-weeks into the New Year I did think it might be nice to resurrect the blog from the oblivion of disuse. Not a resolution - I assure you - just a practical attempt to get some value out of the $40/year I'm spending on this domain name.
