My resolution
"Failing to plan is planning to fail."
Truthful saying indeed, but man, am I so tired of always having a plan for every little in my life. So one of my resolutions for the year is to live spontaneously, as much as I can.
So I want to be able to go the movies, and decide what movie to watch when I get there. I don't want to make stacks of calls to find out wants to join me, then make a tele-booking, pay with my credit card and then find out exactly what time the movie starts so that I can get there approxiamtely 15min before the movie starts, to watch the trailers and be in my seat with popcorn and refreshments, having had enough time to join the queue and check my email out at the same time. Did that sound like fun?
lol, I'm going a bit overboard here, slightly gung-ho on this, but I've noticed that people do not live anymore, but just follow a plan day in, day out. There's no glow on their faces. They don't listen when you talk to them, there's no silly laughter... Ofcourse there are certain things that need to be planned, but it's become an obsession these days. Everything has to fit in perfectly, so that we can live perfectly...does it feel perfect at the end of it all?
Just some of my thoughts...
Oh and my other resolutions is to keep to my word, and never go against it.
That's about it...

Goku - sounds like you need to watch "Yes Man". Or read the book. Just say "Yes" to everything - live totally spontaneously as you never know what someone will ask. Although you might end up with a lot of copies of Big Issue.

So you plan to be spontaneous?
Mine are:
a) Lose the same amount of weight that I lost last year
2) Try to find a way of letting go of stress and not get too worked up about everything
*) Have fun
iv) Use a consistent numbering system
5) Don't get stuck in infinite loops
f) GOTO 5

There are a few more aspirations. Specifically:
1. a.Resume with my South Indian Classical (Carnatic) voice training and
b.Get back into my Classical drumming and play for my temple again.
2. Cut down on my purchases of Eau de toilette, big time, and branded tee's!
3. Go to a full-day spa treatment (yep, still haven't done that)
4. a. Drop my body fat to 12-14% (enough to reveal my abs hopefully)
b. Swim 0.5Km in 25min, without stopping / run 2km withouth stopping
c. Drop 5kg to 70kg
5. Be less detailed in my emails (not all of them are laymen )
6. Avoid watching an Arsenal game that's showing on the tele, and instead study (by far the most difficult in this list)

Um, with just under 2 months to go for 2010, is your 2009 resolution still a "New" year's resolution?

Updangab73, since your resolution is not to make any resolutions, by making this resolution does this mean you failed?
It would be interesting to see if anybody that made resolutions had any success...
