We were all pretending. The important thing is to maintain a straight face. (Maurice Valency)

Every year about this time I debate on whether or not I should make New Year's Resolutions. I really like the idea of starting over and doing a better job with my life. On the other hand, I have a horrible track record on actually sticking to the resolutions.

So do I act the role of the optimist, and take the opportunity to better myself. Or do I admit that I'm never going to successfully change and save myself the inevitable failure. (Huh, I guess I am a pessimist after all.)
