I never make resolutions either, but, for 2006, one is definitely needed: CHILL. That's the plan. Hope your new year is as chill as you want it, and that you have as many Muppet Jedi dreams as you want.

Zero Muppet Jedi Dreams in '06!
This year I resolve to learn to trust a little bit more . . . to trust in others, and to trust myself.
I resolve to actually go to graduate school this year and not simply spend money on applications to no apparent end.
I'd really like to keep piles of unfolded laundry out of the family room and cook at least three well-planned meals a week for the family.
Nothing I couldn't do with a little effort.
For 2006, I resolve to sit at my writing desk every day and contemplate all the ways it's like a raven.
Happy New Year, Paul.
P.S. Word Verification: Gottmlkk
Happy new year, Paul.
I firmly resolve to stop reading my friends' blogs, and never again to waste my wisdom by commenting on them. My contributions always go UNAPPRECIATED, like EVERY THING ELSE I DO.
Oh, and by the way, I don't know what that little semi-shiksa Laurel wrote that she had to delete, but you can be DAMN SURE I'll stand by EVERY WORD I WRITE!!! Step into my office for a moment because YOU'RE F@&!ING FIRED!
Okay, I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. You know I don't mean to hurt you. I love you. I love your blog. It'll never happen again. I've never done anything like that. It's just that I'm so passionate. I will never be cruel to you again.
But on the other hand, Jesus Christ, it's not like I'm the only one here who's wrong! It's a f@%&ing two way street!
Fine, I'm the bad guy! Look at the asshole, everybody! Look at the big mean monster!
Screw this. I am so done here. I'm finished. F&#k 2006, and f&#k you!
Okay, I'm sorry. I totally did not mean that. I just carried away. Okay, so everything's fine. Everything's fine. Tomorrow I'll find a nice link for your blog and I'll post it. Alright? Everyone will be happy. Everyone will be happy. Everyone will be happy. Everyone will be happy. Everyone will be happy. Everyone will be happy. Everyone will be happy.
*gurgle*
I'd get a restraining order against that bp...i think he's stalking your blog.
