Happy New Year everyone! Hope it is starting off well for everyone! Welcome to the 2011 edition of Randomness Rocks! Today's topic is Resolutions.
One of my resolutions is to be more organized. In my personal life I am only somewhat organized. In my blogging I am extremely unorganized. At the suggestion of a friend, I am going to do my best to make that change. I have started a new blog that I am calling Rockin Tips. This blog will be much more concise. It will be chock full of tips to help you out and, well, rock
your world. OK...calm down. No need to worry folks. Rockin Tips will not be full of bad puns.
I decided to "shut down" Proud 2 B Random as I have only received a handful of comments and only have a couple followers who are already bloggers on WordPress and/or Blogger. I will still keep it open so anyone can view past entries. I am also thinking of integrating some of those post into this blog as well as The Total Randomness Of It All so those of you who have not followed Proud 2 B Random can still enjoy the posts.
Another of my resolutions is to stop lying whenever possible. It is a very bad habit to get into in my opinion. What do you think? Is lying better than the truth? Is it always better? Is it always worse? Does it depend on the circumstances?

New Years Traditions
RT @HuffingtonPost Bonfires and brightly colored panties: check out the most interesting New Year's Eve traditions http://huff.to/i2K8hv
New Year's Eve may conjure up images of champagne flutes and stolen midnight kisses, but for revelers in Sao Paulo, there are more important matters to consider -- such as the color of their underpants.
Indeed, in South American nations such as Brazil and Bolivia, your choice of intimate apparel (red if you're looking for love, yellow if you're hoping for money) is said to impact your fortunes for the coming year. But that's not the only unusual custom believed to bring good luck on New Year's Eve: in the Netherlands, Dutch party goers will be setting their discarded Christmas trees ablaze, while in Panama, residents will be following suit -- but with elaborate effigies of pop stars and political figures.
