Musical theatre enthusiasts will get the reference to today's title from 1776's Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve. The play on words with the song title works two ways:
1) This post is about my New Year's Resolutions. Using 'resolve' as a noun and a verb, I have "made up my mind" to use with "purposefulness" all things related to....
2) Twitter. Well, social media in general, but Facebook did not work as well with songs choices from 1776. Molasses to Facebook just doesn't have the same ring to it.
But I digress....
My 2011 Resolutions:
1) Never solely write "Happy Birthday!" on people's Facebook pages. If I really want to wish someone well after being reminded of their birthday on FB I will either write something more meaningful and creative on their page, or better yet if they are a true friend I will pick up the phone and call them. And if my OCD is in order that week, I'll plan ahead and mail them a card.
2) Connected to #1, I will do my best not to clutter Twitter and FB Captain Obvious posts. I'm not going to post things just to post. Except early on with Twitter updates, I'm not a "just ate a sandwich" FB poster. However, I do things like write things "TD!!!!!!!!!!!" when I'm watching the Eagles. I'm not Merrill Reese, I don't need to report major plays in the game. Why the hell am I even on FB when I'm watching the Eagles?!?! If I am so compelled to write something during a game for example, like if there is another amazing run/TD from Shady McCoy, I will most likely write something like "Not afraid to say that I'm developing a man-crush on Shady McCoy." I'm mean, who doesn't have one on him at this point?
3) Finally, I'm going to make sure I use my Dempsey workouts as a catalyst to stay in shape in 2011. I've already made so many excuses not to go to the gym in December of this year after being a gym rat since August.
Have a great 2011 everyone! Strive for the Magis!
