Resolutions for a New Year

(Since a certain public figure is distasteful to me, I refuse to refer to him by name. We all know who "he" is.)

Do something he wouldn't do.
Be something he isn't, and know something he'll never know.
Read something he'll never read. (That one is easily accomplished.)
Listen to music he'll never have the joy of. (Bonus points for live music.)
Care about something.
Care for someone.

Live in the real world.
Slow down. Unplug.
Go somewhere on foot. Look around.
Cook something from scratch.
Do something for the hell of it.
Live in spite of.

Tell the truth. Don't believe bullshit. Know the difference.
Know thyself.

Forget nothing.
Take the long view.
Don't expect things.
