In 2012, there is really only one place I want to go.
I want to visit the Italian island of Capri.
I want to go to the Blue Grotto.
I want to take a gondola into the Grotto.
I don't care if I get to eat pizza from Napoli.
I don't care if I get to peruse the designer shoppes.
All I want to see is that azure water, shining bizarrely against those cave walls.
In reality...the farthest I'll probably get this year is Oklahoma.

Resolutions
I'm not making any resolutions for 2012. Know why? Because that's just setting yourself up for failure. My goals may be low and this may be rather self-deprecating, but I feel like it's the only way to go.
Sure, I can hope for things----a 3.8 GPA, a stellar job in GR for the summer, a perfect day for skydiving on my 21st: but I can't hang my hat on anything. Nothing in this life is guaranteed, and CERTAINLY nothing I personally desire is inevitable.
So you go on and strive to work out 4 times a week and eat 700 calories or less a day.
You challenge yourself to show your wife more love with cute notes and crap like that.
Go ahead and plan to get a raise and buy a house in the suburbs.
I'm going to save myself a lot of heart ache and make no such self-undermining and useless resolutions. When the year's over, let's compare.
