Waiting For Something To Happen

OK....Christmas is finally over, although all the package delivery bullshit side of it will continue I'm sure, as we take the next few weeks to deal with everything that hit the fan the past month...but enough talking shop. I'm glad it's over, seems that this year was the worst for me, in that the feeling of obligation greatly outweighed the feeling of "oh boy it's Christmas!"...in fact, I can safely say that feeling never touched me once. I'm not a grinch, but this year it was all work and no play for me.

Something I've always meant to do, and have finally done, is link up the namesake for this blog....click on the title and prepared to be amazed....or at least happy you get a free song out of it. One of the best Canadian bands 2/3s of you have never heard of before. Enjoy.

And speaking of waiting, it seems as if my life tries to kick-start something new every week or so, but then it never pans out....note to the universe....this does NOT count as something new...try harder next time.

Resolutions for the new year? I'll finally get that new tattoo....still need a design though that I can live with....I'm in desperate need of that weight bench I wanted, if only to strengthen my back and not have to pop pills every night after work....those two can be my Xmas presents to myself....also, I think I'll take this year to actually see how far, even if only theoretically, I can go in the company. Also, I will do a better job of letting go of all the old baggage that still follows me around...I mean, I'm sure it'll always be there, and one person in particular will always forever be there in the back of my mind, but as much as possible it all needs to be junked so I can have room for new things.

Now, I'd do a year in review, but to be fair, I haven't done much this year except work and try not to be bothered by things that never worked out...which I accomplished by working so much haha...I guess another resolution could be to play a bit harder....I mean, I have two weeks off in June, why not actually plan something, even if it's only to drive myself to BC for the experience? Hell, there's my vacation right there...

Peace out.

It's no use putting the blame there... If things are being kick-started, you've got to be willing to follow through afterwards.

My (hypocritical) thought of the day right there.

well to be honest i normally never follow through, but at lot of the time this year i have....to no avail...but yes, the follow-through is crucial

It is. But at the same time it's not for everyone. Like I said, I'm being hypocritical. I never do either, I rarely can bring myself to take a chance on anything. I don't really fault anyone else for doing the same.

If there's anything I can say I have learned, it's that chances are worth taking. For years I never took any and regreted them (of course) but I've come to realize that you only get to do this trip once, and even if you don't get what you wanted, at least you can say you tried your best....the past year or so it's been liberating really

There's a world conspiration against me dowloading the song, and Aunt Emule isn't behaving computerwise either. 'Computerwise'... talk about oxymorons... :s
