LOL, actually, I'm doing swimmingly with my resolution of no more cigarettes. Granted it's only been one day, it's still been okay.

And for our very bull-headed cityboy gone know-it-all, new years just gives people an excuse to make a change in their lives. Otherwise, some, like myself, probably wouldn't have given up or changed something about themselves until a few months later.

A new year is a new, clean slate.

It's not too hard to understand, so hopefully that knocks you down a peg or two
