It Begins

And so begins the grand experiment of 2014 wherein I the veritable fool, Nick Rosevear, or Knick if you're not allergic to fun, will attempt to accomplish 52 "resolutions" chosen at random throughout the year.

"Resolutions" is in quotes because very few of them are likely to benefit me in anyway like the typical new years resolutions.  Instead many are ridiculous, some charitable, some painful, ill-advised and just plain confusing.  Because, why not?

Anyway, here are the basic ground rules I've established.

Rule:  The First

All 52 resolutions are written out on tiny pieces of paper and will be placed inside of a hat.

The Resolutions

The Hat


Rule:  2

Every week, on Wednesday a new resolution will be drawn at random from the hat, and the goal will be to achieve the resolution during that week.

Simulation

Why Wednesday?  Because Wednesday's suck, nothing good has ever happened on a Wednesday.  No one's ever sung a song about a Wednesday (seriously name one Wednesday song).  Oh and also, the 1st of the year was on a Wednesday too so that kind of works out.  But mostly its because Wednesday's suck.

Rule: C

Some of the resolutions will require significantly more planning or will not work for the given season, as such, if a resolution cannot be achieved it is simply moved to the postponed section, meaning it can still be attempted to achieved at any time so long as it is before the end of the year.

Rule: C.2

I clearly am not good at taking anything seriously, and as such I reserve the right to change the rules throughout the year as I see fit.
