Whilst nursing New Years Hangovers I am sure that all of you out there in reading land are sitting and contemplating the universe and your place in it, thinking about the year that was and the promise of the year to come. Personally I think New Years is a bit of a hyped up piece of arse, you go out, you have to deal with the whole cast of Jersey Shore (well at the party I was at anyway), walk miles in high heels because you dont want to be "That" Girl and everything doubles its prices. And then when you have a shit night you get upset and hate the world, and honestly kids thats crack talk. Honestly its only one night, and if it was any other normal night during the year you would chalk it up to not being in the mood and these things happen, but as its New Years poor little chicken licken thinks the sky is falling. Honestly kids, a bit-o-perspective please.
The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling!!!!!
I say this also to give myself a bit of perspective, my NYE would have been better spent sitting on my porch yelling at random passers by, but instead I frocked up, joined the cast of Jersey Shore and headed down to the party on the Foreshore. I know they say that you are the only one standing in the way of having a good time and last night my fat arse wouldnt get out of my way. We called it early and decided to head home. I ended up ringing in the new year sitting on a kerb in a random car park watching the Perth Sky Line explode into colour with my best friend in the world sitting next to me. It made me realise that really I dont need anything else in my life if I have her, and all the dancing tanned bimbos and free drinks in the world cant change that.
A Car Park, Fireworks and My Chella
But enough of that emotional bullshit, lets get down to the nitty gritty, I am sitting here trying to decide is 2011 was good or bad. There was certainly a little from Column A and a little from Column B. Earlier this week I had a bit of a freak out thinking that someone my age should possibly have achieved more in the year than what I had, but then I got to thinking (and after a slight amount of Facecrack bashing from my friends) that, really that is bullshit, my life is moving at the speed that it should and as long as I am always moving forward then that should really be enough.
At the start of 2011 I decided that I had two goals, I was to fake it until I made it and to make it the Year of the Random (not of doing the "random" I atleast like to know their name). So in short I had to pretend to not be scared and that I had it together and try EVERYTHING that I could. It saw me doing Brazillian Zouk Dancing, Drifting in Japan, Getting my whole back tattooed and going on more terrible dates than I care to remember. The good and the bad, its been done. So now with knowing that I achieved these goals I suppose its time to set myself some for 2012. So here they are...
This is Norman, he is Random and I committed to Him
Get Better with my Money - For anyone that doesn't know, when I am not being an esteemed writer and super hero, my Clark Kent day job is a Credit Controller. I deal with money and debt every day and in my personal life I handle my money like a drunk, I waste it and shout the whole bar shots. I want to use 2012 to get sorted and get saving. The world is at my feet but I cant take it without the coin to do so. I know this is going to mean sacrifices, but I have to keep reminding myself that its a means to an end and toast tastes AMAZING!!!!!
$7.60, I totally need to make more money than that
Become a better Friend - As terrible as it is, I can admit this as a fault of mine, sometimes I am lazy with my friends and I take them for granted. I get invited to things and I forget about them, or I go and possibly dont want to be there. I think this year is going to come down to making decisions, Either I give them 100% as a friend or I cut them, there must be a reason why I am lazy around them, if it was really that important I would move heaven and earth for them. Just a bit of food for thought on that one
Keep my Opinion to Myself - I am sure this one will come as no surprise but I am at times a stubborn pig headed opinionated so and so. I just cant help but think the world NEEDS to have my view on things, and in honesty really they would probably be better off without it. So this year I am going to try my hardest to keep my opinions to myself. I dont know how well I will go but I am going to try anyway. So if you see me and my face is screwed up and red I either need to poo or I am struggling to keep my mouth shut...
Hopefully this is the only time you see me all up in your business
Commit!!! - What ever it is I do, commit to it. A guy I know always tells me, COMMIT!! Make your mind up about what you want and don't let anything stand in the way of getting that. I will run towards it with both arms open screaming the Xena war cry if I have to, there is no room for half measures in 2012
I think those are going to be my main ones, obviously everyone has the side bar projects like eating healthier, exercising more, making youtube sit higher than youporn in your internet most viewed sites, contacting your mother more and having better personal hygiene. I will adopt these generic habits as well, because honestly they are probably pretty good for my health. I did toy with the idea of becoming a Hermit in 2012, it would be a great way to save some money and it would keep me from getting hurt but really by doing that it would go against the grain of who I am as a person.
So I take my designer heeled feet and walk boldly into the 2012 with great anticipation about what its going to bring to me, or what I am going to take from it as will probably be the case. I see a year of wild abandon, terrible dates, butterflies in my stomach, stupid mistakes and men with beards (I dont know why but the bearded folk are starting to be much more appealing to me lately). Stay tuned, because knowing me, there is going to be a story to tell no matter where this year leads me. And remember you can be anything you want to be and make your life anything you want it to be, only you are standing in the way of that
Love and Fireworks
Miss K
Everyone needs a Anthem, and this is mine for 2012 because I am going to be somebody!!!!!
