Its 2009 already - I can't believe how quickly 2008 flew by.
Happy New Year, I hope you had a great christmas and your New Years Eve was fun. I almost never go out on NYE, purely because its always busy and expensive and I'm intolerant and would rather not spend a huge amount getting in somewhere I can get in free any other night!
I stayed at home, had some lovely food and a couple of drinks and watched a countdown of the top 100 stand up comedians on tv. Not wildly exciting, but between christmas day and Sunday 28th I drank plenty and had lots of fun with my family. I even ended up drunky by lunchtime on Christmas day. I'd planned on having bucks fizz while we opened our presents, but once I tasted the bottle of Prosecco I opened I decided it was too nice to mix with OJ and was drinking it on its own. Oops!
Its my birthday on the 12th, I'll be 27 and I'm really excited about it. That probably sounds a bit strange, getting closer to 30 and all that, but I have a feeling that 27 is going to be a good year for me. I can't tell you why, I don't really know myself, I just feel extremely optimistic about it.
I'm not going to make any resolutions - I won't stick to them. I do have a plan for this year though. A keyword, if you will.
Try
I'm going to try as many new things as I can. I'm going to try new food, new music, new films, new places, new people, new experiences. I'm going to try to exercise, try to be healthier and treat my body better, try to learn more. Try to fill up the box with as much interesting, enriching, useful stuff as I can.
I know Yoda says there is no try, there is only do or not do and thats a nice idea, but not realistic. I'm not a jedi and nor will I ever be, I'm not going to even try.
He'd probably give me crap for saying that too. If he was real.
