Sometimes Bwog makes topical holiday lists. One of those times is now. Accordingly, for this New Year, we’re sharing our resolutions. As you wipe hangover eye-crust away, share yours in the comments. Maybe you saw the ball drop in Times Square—connecting with those beige middle-Americans who saw it on their TVs at 11 pm CST, thereafter setting their glasses on bedside tables and turning off their lights. Maybe you were at a house party in another state. Maybe you just don’t feel any different.
