An exercise in determination

I'm coming up with some good New Years' resolutions (not in any particular order):

1. I will make my bed every day. Every frikin' day. Gosh, that's tough.
2. I will be faithful to my exercise schedule.
3. It's not "peppy", you don't obsess pizza, and he's not "Steve".
   
4. I will grow a goatee.
5. I will finish writing my songs "Unrequited," "Darkness Falls," and "S.O.S./The Dead."
6. I will not break into spontaneous song and dance.
   
7. I will write more. Punto. Every chance I get. Any topic. Just write, write, write. This includes "blogging" more.
8. I will fall more in love with Jesus. And every day will be sweeter than the day before.
9. I'll practice guitar more often. Slot time for it, and just do it.
10. I will not imitate Old Man Herbert's voice.
    
11. I will watch what I say.
    
12. I'll keep going forward with my discipleship. I will use any chance I get to wield the new weapons, endeavor to be yielded and humble, accept change with open arms, and hold fast to the fact that Jesus is enough.
13. I will complete my stories The Familiar Stranger and My Dear Child.
14. I will open my heart again. I will be there for her; I'll dry her every tear, make her laugh, be her best friend and closest companion. I swear.
15. I'll stop doing stand-up comedy in front of the bathroom mirror.
16. I will attempt to be serious when writing my New Year's resolutions.
17. I will not annoy people with an unexpected rendition of Edward Norton in The Score.
