    In 2025 I’m going to get a good night’s sleep every night. Further, I will wake feeling rested and ready to take on the world

      I will wake feeling rested

      Depending on your situation, a sleep study and CPAP could help with that.

    hilarious, but Google search for the term only shows this Tumblr post, and there’s no equivalent term in Swedish that I know of. But we should make it a tradition anyways.

      I believe this refers to Heitstrenging.

      The Wikipedia page doesn’t seem to mention the craziness of the oaths to the point of gods, but seems to be more about boastful things people would actually try to do. From the above link:

      Heitstrengingar took place at Yule and other sacrificial feasts, weddings, arvals, and banquets and often acted as a form of bragging and promising the performance of an often great feat.

      Which seems to have been extrapolated on a bit for the post.

      The “more thought” is a barrel of mead of course!

      And an ounce of weed, but that was already there

      I suggest annexing the entirety of the US as a single province for the shits & giggles. I don’t think they’d ever recover from that exceptionally bruised ego. LOL

    Ok, here I go: I will finally hit the gym, find someone to love, get a better job, learn to play an instrument, become a more patient and confident person, read the books I’ve bought, play the games I’ve bought, learn a new language, spend more time with people I care about, try LSD, start a master’s degree and do something about my receding hairline. Good luck, future me.
