These are not my new year's resolutions

sleep new year, revised 2023

I don't make resolutions because I know I won't follow them. But for no reason other than to see what I come up with, I make a list. These are mostly for fun but I probably wouldn't oppose doing some of them.

01 - Build my own traveling island — You're probably thinking there would be problems with finding a parking spot for a moving island but let me tell you, this island will shrink to any size I please so no problem there.

02 - Read more high quality, intellectual books — Who am I kidding? I'm not smarter than a 5th grader (10 or 11 years olds) so if I read any highly intelligent books, I probably wouldn't understand it all that much. But once in a while, I like pretend I'm intelligent enough for these books.

03 - Get bionic eyes or maybe just one eye — Comes in really handy when you want to see the little details in things or spy on your neighbors making sure they aren't committing any crimes against humanity.

04 - Walk the Great Wall of China — Walking and maybe some sitting now and then. I will probably wish for a car before I even reach a mile.

05 - Grow to 6 feet or taller — Being tall is better and you never have to ask the person next to you to hang your coat.

06 - Vacation on the moon — It might be a bit cold over there and kind of dangerous but I can borrow Doctor Who's TARDIS, he owes me a favor. I might even ask him to redecorate the place.

07 - Ride in a hot air balloon — So maybe this is just boring but if you're afraid of heights, it's a challenge. And I hear landing can be a bit iffy.

08 - Open a trading book store — This is where you bring in a book (physical copy that is) and exchange it for another book. Of course, there will be rules such as if you're rude, you're not allow to trade.

09 - Buy a house for just my book collection — Who knows, I might sneak in some priceless art or grow a garden in there. Perhaps I'll even let people come in and read the books, that is, if they have clean hands and clean everything else.

10 - Travel around the world in 180 days — preferably with a cyborg, a witch, a former pirate, maybe a psychic or two since we might possibly need one, a compass that tells us where to get water wherever we are, a suitcase that shrinks and enlarge depending on our needs and also weights almost nothing even fully packed, a chest of gold because nothing's cheap, maybe a couple of magic beans that turns into houses when we can't find a hotel because who wants to sleep in the great outdoor and maybe a washer and dryer because wearing dirty clothes is just not fun.

Is there anything fun (real or imagined) you don't want to do but kind of do?
