We are ready to send 2010 in history now and embrace the New Year 2011 in hope of better times. However, we’re aware that what we do is what we get, so we have to decide what would it be. Writing New Year’s resolutions is maybe the most popular way to do so. Some of them are real, some are not so real, but some of them are so unreal and are really weird. Take a look at some of them!
1. Too Carnivorous Man

We can read anything on the blogosphere, but this guy went too far. “Weird Meat” owner, Jeff, decided to taste as many weird meats as possible. Insects and other delicacies from Asia and Oceania are not challenging for him anymore, so raw yak, ostrich sandwiches and deer penis wine are on his list.
2. Become a Party King

If you want to be the star on the party you have to show some skills. That would be a great idea for your New Year’s resolution: to learn dancing like John Travolta in “Saturday Night Fever” or like all those boys and girls in “High School Musical.” Well, fashion blogger Gala Darling has a little bit different taste. She recommends you to learn belching the alphabet. It’s weird and not recommendable for public, however.
3. Learn Useless Facts

Gala Darling attacks with resolutions again, this time with learning useless facts instead of learning useless skills. Knowing the correct names of all the flowers was very charming to her. Nevertheless, unless you want to answer the fifteenth question in “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” you don’t have to bother with botany.
4. Ensure Better Service

Rich people usually buy extremely big houses, or castles, create little kingdoms on their properties, buy sports teams to have fun for weekends and so on. They don’t need New Year’s resolutions to do so, but there are some things that are a little bit complicated and need some persistence. One of them that really worked: a wealthy person brings a personal waiter for better service in restaurants wherever he goes. Nobody’s perfect!
5. Become a World Record Holder

This is a quite ambitious resolution, but nothing is impossible. You don’t have to beat Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps to become a world record holder. You can enter the Guinness Book of records if you cook most spiders in world’s largest frying pan, if you spend most time in the rain or other similar things. Whatever you do, your resolution will be accomplished.
6. Replace Your Bad Habits With Other Ones

We try to throw out bad habits before we enter in the New Year, and the next year it’s the same, and the next one… Bad habits never go away! So, why not to chose what our bad habits would be. Drinking with friends at least one day a week, eating huge sandwich twice a week, smoking, or whatever. The choice is yours.
7. Back to Nature

This is not as weird in recent years as it becomes more and more mainstream. Living “according to nature” is very popular due to obesity problems, but this guy went too far. Colin Beaven tried to eat food produced in radius in only 100 miles. Where it becomes weird? He lives in New York.
8. Break Traffic Laws

Driving in “Fast and Furious” style can be very exciting. When someone has the feeling that he does everything in some annoying order then breaking the traffic laws seems to be painless. But it’s not! Making a New Year’s resolution to put someone’s life in danger is nothing but weird and is not cool.
9. Get Literate

If your resolution is to get your comma problems under control and you’re not in second grade than you have a big problem. Well, at least you have decided to solve the problem with your illiteracy. It’s brave, but weird as well.
10. Real Resolution

Finally, there’s one real resolution, although it’s not clear if it’s related to New Year. One post from Twitter says: “(I’ve) thought long and hard, and decided on my New Year’s resolution. 1024×768.” It’s so simple and reachable as well.
