2006: the year that Borat ridiculed America, Saddam Hussein & Steve Irwin popped their clogs, a London cabbie made it on to BBC news, the hottest ever day was recorded, bebo and youtube took over people’s lives and I lost my hair. Overall, it wasn’t a bad year at all, providing some smashing memories such as an ace 21st Birthday party, seeing The Living End, and visiting New York, Skye & Leeds. In hindsight I generally feel older and wiser than the guy who wrote a similar entry to this one-year ago.
This year’s resolutions are a bit more focused and realistic than the last set – of which I kept half – so they should be easier to stick to.
1) Read more.
2) Play a song-a-day on guitar
3) Visit the gym once a week.
4) Drink less alcohol.
5) Eat healthy.
6) Visit my Grandparents more.
7) Release 2 CDs / Create a film script.
If you see me breaking any of these spank me in to shape!
December’s been quite strange, even systematic because all the generic Christmas shenanigans have to be taken care of: finish the last essays for the end of term, have the leaving night out, work night out, friends night out, go shopping, play a Christmas gig, open your presents, eat the meal, visit family & friends… all very robotic. Due to this pre-planned nature the rest of this account is nothing more than a string of observations, enjoy.
Christmas cards – nobody really bothers with them these days, are we too old or are cards not cool anymore? Warm money – perhaps the single most disgusting thing you have to handle. Famous people (Michael Barrymore) – just want to be treated like a normal person, not besieged by Wendy. Teachers – want to get as drunk as everyone else, even the senior ones. Drinking with teachers – surreal. Walking girls home – the gentlemanly thing to do, even three times a night. Wine – the tasty, and cost-effective beverage. Death – the only reason people are scared is because they don’t know when it’ll happen. Adverts – as good an indicator of society at the time as anything else. Being banned from a your favourite club – one of the best things that can happen. Essay-induced junk-food binges: Tea, Haribo, Pringles, Red Bull anyone? Finally, do girls shit? Yes, and it can smell as rancid as guys’ ones!
