This year, I'm going to trick myself into accomplishing my New Year's resolutions. I've come up with a bunch of easily achievable "decoy resolutions" among which I will hide my real resolutions. I'm hoping that if I'm flying along, accomplishing things like crazy, and I come to one of my real New Year's resolutions, I'll just assume it's easy like all the other ones and get through it without a problem. Kind of like how zebras confuse their predators by being all stripe-y and running around chaotically. Then the predator is all "Oh no! There's so many of them! I'm so confused and I don't know which one to pick, so I'm just going to stand here and let them run away..."
Actually, I don't think that's what I want. That's the opposite of what I want. Oh well, I've come this far and I'm not about to waste a good blog post on account of a technicality.
