With every passing year, we make and break the same resolutions. A year won’t go by without you hearing about losing weight, spending less, exercising more, eating healthier, stopping smoking, drinking less, which are all well and good but are all basically financial and health concerns. What about us geeks? I mean, sure, weight loss is probably a given for a sizable chunk of our population, but surely there must be something we can change about ourselves come the 1st of January.

To that end, I’ve put together a list of resolution suggestions for geeks only. Maybe this will help you become a better person this 2011. Well, maybe not, but a lot less people will think you’re annoying.

Resolution – Start lending your comic books. Yes, even singles.

When was the last time you saw a kid in a comic book shop? More often than not, when you'd peer into a place like Druid's Keep or Comic Odyssey, you’d see yuppies, oldies and the occasional curious teen — mostly dudes around 22 or 23 all the way up to 50-year-old men. You’d be hard-pressed to find a child with wide-eyed wonder flipping through the pages of a comic book, all excited about what’s going to happen to his favorite hero next, inside a hobby shop like I used to do when I was younger.

No, you’d find them most probably at the video game store, the arcade or the Internet cafés, enjoying their Facebooks and Twitters.

How did a medium specifically designed for kids end up being ignored by them, by the original target market? I guess it started when the kids who first started picking up those comics started growing older.
