Desc: These are my New Year's Resolutions, as told by Harrison. This is a video response to Bjwnavigaator's New Year's Resolutions video. Of course, I don't have an egg as a brother, so some of the resolutions were changed slightly to fit Harrison. This video works as a tag, if you are tagged, you have to put up your own new years resolution video. (of course, you don't HAVE to). The deadline for this is January 30th. You don't have to make a movie, you could make a slideshow or anything that youTube will accept. I am tagging: Werefern and grayishlyboring
