New Year's Resolutions...

So, it is a brand new year, 2009. and for people across the country that means one thing: creating a blog to track the progress of their new year's resolutions, creating a blog as a new year's resolution, or announcing their new year's resolutions on their already created blog.

I'll take the last offer, because let's face it, I already have a blog (a great one at that) and I am such a dilligent, determined blogger that I have nothing to resolve to fix. 

So I have thought of a new year's resolution so out there, so innovative that you will wish you had my life.

win money.

not make money, WIN money.

so my first attempt is a $10,000 dollar competition on Karmaloop.  feel free to help.  I win money if the most people vote for my design.

Think of it like the way that Obama (remember him?) did all this grassroots stuff and made people feel like he really heard them and would help them in order to get them to vote for him.  If it helps, you can pretend you're voting so much that I am going to be indebted to you and hand you over 5 Gs.  Who knows?  I'm still waiting to be appointed Secretary of Pop Culture.  Dreams come true.

So help me help you.  Go to this site and let them have it.

and enjoy your january.  and if I don't see you, go ahead and enjoy your february too.  and hell, good luck in march and beyond.

Oh, and if you need any help with your resolutions.  Let me know.  I'll see what I can do.

and remember:

"Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right."
