EAT more yak, learn to belch the alphabet, get my comma problems under control.
These are among the strangest New Year’s resolutions from the blogosphere and Twitter.
The blog Weird Meat began as a New Year’s resolution by its owner Jeff, who set out to eat as many “weird meats” as possible. Recent dishes, outlined on his blog, include raw yak, crickets, ostrich sandwich and deer penis wine.
New Zealand fashion blogger Gala Darling suggests two different resolutions: “learn a party trick – weird stomach contortion, belching the alphabet and handstand push-up demonstrations” or “learn the names of flowers – it’s such an odd thing to master, but it’s so utterly charming that I can’t help but be impressed”.
Resolutions on Twitter include:
– Must remember to suck less on a daily average;
– Find a Snuggle Partner;
– New Year’s Resolution number one – actually set foot in all my houses this year. If I can remember where they all are.
Following PC Magazine’s example, I’m going almost entirely digital in 2009 for the magazines that I read. Already cancelled a load of subscriptions. Will probably save a few trees as well. 🙂
1. Transition from Windows XP to Ubuntu
2. Become more proficient with WordPress
3. Continue building my community on Twitter
In 1980 I made a resolution to never make resolutions.
I am happy to say I kept it.
This matches my 1978 Lent, where I gave up lent for lent. I’ve been happy with that choice as well.

Get a haircut and get a real job.
Constantly tweak Obama-worshipers until they fade away into the depths of madness. A short trip for most.
Quitting smoking.
And getting off Dvorak’s lawn.
#4 “Get a haircut and get a real job.”
Hey, I never thought it before, I’m on a short slope to retiring, I can grow my hair again.l
I resolve to be a nice, kinder individual and more understanding to others beliefs. Just kidding… 🙂

My resolution for 2009+ is to make sure to never contribute my cash to blogs where I already contribute my thoughts, and to use Adblock Plus to block images that say “Blog Advertising Sucks” as such advertising is annoying, offensive, and in poor taste.
My resolution is to ignore other people making resolutions.
Although not a resolution, I have dedicated my life’s work to helping those having a difficult time with the election get over it. There are still quite a few in denial that once again, America has the ability to be great.
Be less tolerant of liberals and their inane ideas, most of which are based in a fantasy that is ruining our country from within.
