Hi Alex
Great post. However I disagree. One cannot re-invent him/herself.
Learn Arabic, or neating. that is easier than striving for awesomeness.

Your mention of The Count of Monte Cristo made me think of Sweeney Todd.

Here’s a pretty good way to make sure you are more awesome in a year: http://freakrevolution.com/52-weeks-to-awesome/

Got it! I want to run a half marathon. I’m debating between October in LA or April in NYC

Remaining vague about my intentions of awesomeness is tempting because I can easily end 2010 arguing that I’ve somehow achieved this greater level of awesomeness regardless of what I do this coming year – but I’ll give it a shot because you asked so politely!

I think I’ll become increasingly less vague as the day goes on, but at this point in time I’ve come to the conclusion that my level of awesomeness will be measured by how well I maximize my own personal potential and the potential of my surroundings (whether it be my city or my network or whatever).

I hope I figure out what that means by the end of the day.

Well crap. Now you got me thinking. I usually don’t do resolutions for the same reason as you. But, I have to ask, how will you measure your awesomeness?
