Woooh! Another year over! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Or at least that what I think I'm supposed to be celebrating. I mean I cna't really celebrate 2009 yet it hasn't really happened ...
Anyway yes we are no long in the curvey 2008 but the less curvey 2009 and with that I think we should take a very quick glance over our shoulders, as we run hysterically away, of 2008.
Now 2008 wasn't a good year for ... well much. The banks went bust due to the U.S morgage trouble, the recession, Gordon Brown has a full year as British Prime Minister, We had the worst summer in everyone living memory, Many terrorist suicide/bombings killed hundreds, the Americans had another shit slinging match that they call a presidential election and the media scenes sucked. But lets not focus on the bad. No lets focus on some personal positives of 2008.
I finished uni, me and Natalie surprised Marc in stafford, dispite the shitty weather we still had a pretty neat summer (well me, Cooper, Natalie and Marc did.), Britian actually did well in the Olympics, Rock Band came out in England, I got a job to fund my addiction to toothpaste and hole punchers, Me, Carl and Natalie went to Bristol for Coopers 22nd, I turned 22 and we all love each other very much.
But 2008 is over now. Dumped like a 2nd hand needle. Its time to look onward and upward to the new comings of 2009. However due to not being fully psychic I can't actually tell you whats going to happen in 2009. But that doesn't matter 'cause instead let me tell what I hope to accomplish in 2009. Kinda like new years revolutions but more attainable and less bullshitting.
1. Play my drums more. Don't think I need to explain this one. Just like to play my drums more.
2. Participate in some more creative activities. I enjoy being creative but don't do it enough so this year I'd like to do some more writing, drawing and spriting.
3. Get better job. Cleanings fine if your over 50 but I'm 22 so I'd like something abit more stimulating with better hours and possibly better pay. But better hours that will accumulate better pay over a monthly period will be good enough.
4. With better job build Ducktails style vault and go money swimming. Only joking.
4. Use money from better job to move out. This one's slightly less controlled by me as for I'd rather move out with people rather than into my own flat. So everyone finish bloody uni and get a job already!
5. Learn to drive.
6. Own a car.
7. Enjoy life.
I think there 7 attainable goals. The first two are mainly based on my level of lazyness, but I feel I'm working towards the others. So wish me luck =D!
Song of the christmas period: Radiohead - Creep.
"I will not allow house prices to get out of control and put at risk the sustainability of the recovery."
"Under this Government, Britain will not return to the boom and bust of the past."
"So our approach is to reject the old vicious circle of the...the old boom and bust."
"As I have said before Mr Deputy Speaker: No return to boom and bust."
"And we will never return to the old boom and bust."
"I did maths for a year at university. I don't think I was very good at it. And some people would say it shows."
