So this is the New Year. I maybe feel a little different.

2009 "Live a less digital life."
After I graduated college, I was pretty much just sitting around my house, drinking alone, and playing Flash games on the internet until 3 in the morning. I then moved to Philadelphia and spent the summer watching "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares"  on Hulu instead of looking for a job. When the savings ran out, I got a job at a law firm and then spent every night playing Kingdon of Loathing (an internet RPG), watching Battlestar Galactica on Netflix, or reading boingboing.
Realizing how much time I spent online started to bug me. So I vowed to spend 2009 in the real world and not chained to a monitor. I broke up with my girlfriend that May and spent 5 months playing Kingdom of Loathing, watching terrible horror movies on Netflix, and playing Resident Evil 4.
2010  "Learn how to turn money into more money."
With a move back to Utah and a NEW girlfriend, I needed to stop this cycle of getting money, wondering where it all went, and waiting until the next Friday to get more money. Thus I planned to become a rich person. They don't work for their money, they make their money work for them. How do they do this? Investments. I bought boardgames, an Xbox 360, and a washer and dryer instead of stocks. I did put money into my savings account and ended up with 4 cents of interest.
2011 "Give up a single thing every month."
This year I'm trying something different. I've crafted a much better resolution than in years past. By not specifying what I'm giving up, I can just change it on a whim. Let's say I'm halfway through January when a soda sounds good. As long as I haven't smoked that month, I can give up cigarettes instead. Plus, the day the month is done, I can go right back to giving in to any base appetite I desire. I think this might rival my favorite resolution of my life, which was in 2005: "Commit the Seven Deadly Sins."
