The Greatest New Year's Resolution Ever
We're setting out to accomplish our resolutions for the new year. And they're going to be entirely different than anything you've ever seen.

We are defying the forces of entropy and blandness, and are setting out to make a year that will reverberate with greatness.
The second problem with typical resolutions is that they aim to AVOID something, to hold out on eating that gingerbread man (maybe - hopefully - perhaps) until the month of February. By DEFINITION, these resolutions are broken almost as soon as they are made, as human willpower fails. By the time March rolls around, nothing of those pale resolutions is left.
