We’ve gone back and forth about whether or not to have the interns write up a NY Resolution post (there is a draft of one saved if anyone is really interested); however, this year we’ve felt a little weary of reinvention.  To quote the best resolution we’ve heard in awhile, “My New Year’s Resolution is just…more of the same.”  And while we aren’t approaching that conclusion with the same complete satisfaction and off the charts self-esteem, we’ve stumbled on the same end result.

That said, we do think there is always room for self improvement, and if you don’t know exactly what it is, here’s how to tell when you’ve arrived:  elaney’s Three Signs of a Well Differentiated Individual.  Don’t know what it is about this combo, but if you stumble across someone that does all three – they have their act together.

1.  Doesn’t use artificial sweeter (no diet coke or splenda)
2.  Is finished with their work out by the 7 am hour on Monday through Thursday
3.  Listens to NPR

We’re a year old, and we’re publishing one of our first posts to commemorate the birthday and the new year!

From January 1, 2008:

We have quite a few New Year’s Resolutions this year.  From standard “exercise 5 days a week” and “take more pictures,” to “move out of my parents house and never return for real this time.”  But whatever you feel you want to improve upon, we offer one word of advice:

Whether you are an artist or a student or a writer or a dancer or a singer or a thinker or a runner or a dreamer, paint and work and write and dance and sing and think and run and dream as if your life depends on it.  Because in some ways, it does.  The talents we are given that we foolishly waste are precious gifts that should be fostered, protected, and developed.  Developed and shared with the world…

Not so much a resolution (re: may or may not have any constructive outcome) but what are some things are you going to do in the new year that you are looking forward to?
