Q:
People often have new year’s resolutions — or at least claim they do — but very
few last. Instead, we’re wondering: What is your anti-resolution for 2025? What is
something that you will definitely not do this year?
MIEKO OUCHI
In 2025, I resolve that no
family member, esteemed
elder nor well-meaning
stranger will convince
me that eating fruitcake
is a good idea.
AARON PEDERSEN
I will not take up jogging. The world doesn’t need another
middle-aged man having an unnecessary heart attack.
Instead, I’ll walk — slowly and purposefully — towards the
nearest donair shop.

If these things work
the same way a
regular resolution
does, perhaps I can
use it to my advantage.
So, I will not be going
to the gym, nor will
I be eating healthy.
I will start smoking
cigarettes and will give
up on saving money.
I know it’s ambitious,
but 2025 is a year to
be bold!
