Here's to a more prosperous 2009! We have a big and fun surprise for Neatorama coming very soon (you'll see) but for now, I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year!
Got a New Year's Resolution? What's yours? I'll go first in the comment.

Got a New Year's Resolution? What's yours? I'll go first in the comment.
To stop my eating disorder.
To love more.
To make decision without regret.
Wish you all the best and joy and wonderful things to become true this year!
It's 2009!
Also, I want to travel the world, meet new people and promote world peace.....
Er, yes. Bye.

And no, no resolutions for me.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
1. not sweat the small stuff
2. learn to play guitar (i already paid for 2 months of lessons, now all i need to do is go to them and practice!)
Get as fat as possible.
Be as mean and nasty as possible.
Take on a life of celibacy
Actually I will probably succeed at at least one of them. I won't say which. GRIN
Be a complete jerk to everyone I meet, steal their stuff and generally make their lives a living embodiment of Hell...
...do the same with my own life...
...be unloving and completely unfeeling toward my family...
...make sure my diet is as unhealthy as possible...
...and gain at least thirty more pounds of post-pregnancy weight!
--TwoDragons
To make decisions quickly and more importantly, to stand by them
To get on with my currently dust-gathering childrens book
To be more patient, more tolerant and smile more
Happy New Year to you all x
But if I had any, they would be:
1.Quit smoking
2. Lose some weight
3. Go skateboarding more
4. Meet a girl
Dear Friends,
In calling for change in our time, great scientists are speaking about what could somehow be true to wealthy and powerful people who prefer that the "business as usual" status quo be maintained. Industrial/big business powerbrokers and their bought-and-paid-for politicians want to keep things going along just as they are going now, come what may for the children and coming generations, for life as we know it, for the integrity of Earth and its environs.
Many voices are needed to support "voices in the wilderness" like those of Jim Hansen and John Holdren, exemplary scientists who have been willing to speak truth to those with the power to make the kinds of necessary change that make belief in a good enough future at least a possibility. Assuring a chance of a good future for the children and for life as we know it is an achievable goal that will lead us to overcome the arrogance and avarice of many too many leaders of my "Not So GREAT GREED GRAB Generation" of elders.
If too many leaders of the family of humanity choose to keep doing precisely the things they are advocating and doing now, and if we in the human community keep getting what we are getting now, then it appears a sustainable world for our children cannot be achieved. By so doing, the limited resources of Earth will be permanently dissipated, its biodiversity massively extirpated, its environment irreversibly degraded and life as we know it recklessly endangered. The current gigantic scale and anticipated growth of per-capita overconsumption of limited resources, global production and distribution capabilities, and absolute human population numbers worldwide are simply, clearly and patently unsustainable, even to the year 2050. Given Earth's limitations as a relatively small, evidently finite and noticeably frangible planet, the projected increases in these currently unbridled consumption, production and propagation activities of the human species could soon lead the human family to come face to face with some sort of colossal ecological wreckage.
Now is the time to speak out loudly, clearly and often about what is true for you. Forget about political correctness and convenience. Let go of economic expediency and greediness. Embrace necessary change rather than waste another day preserving the selfish interests of the small group of rich and powerful people, and their many minions, all of whom are adamantly and relentlessly defending an unsustainable, same old "business as usual" status quo.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
this year i plan to slack off more, eat more, in generically im going to excess in every way possible. more drugs, more sex, more of everything good and none of everything i don't like, im going to work less. i just gonna relax and enjoy life the way i see fit. no more watching TV broadcast, im tired of it, im tired of people implanting idiocy into my head. its my turn to live.
err ok now whats the big surprise?
Looks like SOME people's resolution should be not to spam Neatorama with preachy crap.
I resolve to build on my successes this past year, and to volunteer more. I found this past year, when I contributed to the world around me, the world gave back (and I don't just mean the neat iPod Shuffle that I got for commenting so much here).
yay
Have a great year guys.
My resolution? Trying not to loose too much time on Neatorama.
Arghhh! Too late!
