Recklessly Thirty

Every year that passes by, we make these ludicrous resolutions that, a good majority of us, only stick to for the first 2-4 weeks of the year. I'm sometimes in that bulk. Go to the gym, quit smoking, drink less, cuss less, blah blah blah... We seem to forget it doesn't have to be a new year, or even a Monday, to start doing any of that. Granted, I don't plan to go to a gym, I don't smoke, I already drink way less than I used to, and lets face it, I curse like a sailor and I'm ok with it...damnit!
