Tonight is New Year's Eve, the third most magical day in December (following Christmas and Boxing Day). Part of the magic of New Year's Eve is making, and then quickly breaking, resolutions. Though there was intense debate on if you release your resolutions before the "new year," the staff decided to list the five things we wanted to do differently in 2010. If you have a New Year's resolution of your own, please post it in the comment section or write it on a piece of paper and bury it in a nearby Jewish cemetery.

This was fun. Jake I'm holding you to every one of yours, and I'll even help with the Amish sitcom. As for me I've already accomplished four of the five. Glenn's were funnier than mine. Maddie should have started reading Cosmopolitan Magazine BEFORE she moved to New York City. I am surprised that Mikey has only managed to eat at ARBY'S 102 times in one year. I think I've eaten at Oodles of Noodles more times this year than that and I've only been in Chicago six months. And Hot Rod what can I say, all those crazy dreams of yours will someday come true.
ReplyDeleteIf Hot Rod becomes Jesus I'm checking out.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he's already Jesus and this is his subtle way of announcing his return.
ReplyDeleteyou're all very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAll of these came true.
ReplyDeleteNone of these came true.
