New Year, New Me??

It seems that the new year always brings about the need to change ones self. We make resolutions that we vow to keep, we say that we're going to rid ourself of negative influences & that overall our lives will be better. We have the motto "New year, New me" and believe that the changing year on the calendat also marks a change in ourselves. Yet, by Febuary we are doing the same things we did last September, eating the same fattening foods, hanging with the same people & we are the same person that we were just a month ago. Then upon realization of our failure we start to not care and become certain that next year we are definitely going to change. We make pacts that we promise to keep, and we hope that when the ball drops we also light up with a new self. But, we know that's not going to happen. Change doesn't happen like that. A new You doesn't develop in two weeks, so all that "its 09 & im on my new shit" is dumb. Since most people are still doing the same things that they were in 08. Idk, I just get sick of this crap. In febuary when im looking at my Aim buddy list I know im going to have Deja Vu when being nosey & reading peoples' aways....
On that note...its '09 & im actin brand new ;-)
