It's 2013...
...so Happy New Year to everyone!!!
So, that was 2012 - good year...bad year...strange year!!!! I think one of the best things about 2012 was that I finally managed to get my book self published. Not only that, it has sold fairly well and fairly consistently also meaning that my first royalty cheque (with a little extra contribution from myself) was donated to The Samaritans for a total of £100 just before Christmas. 2012 also gave me some amazing concerts - Bruce Springsteen, Muse, Devin Townsend (supported by Fear Factory) and Motörhead (supported by Anthrax). It also gave me an amazing album in the form of Devin Townsend's sublime, gorgeous, stunning, life lifting masterpiece 'Epicloud'!!!
The Dark Knight Rises blew me away (and I still believe Batman DOES die at the end), The Hobbit took me back to Middle Earth (not sure about the Benny Hill frame rate though), Skyfall produced one of the creepiest Bond villains ever, The Expendables was an absolute joy to behold and Ted was a dream come true for Flash Gordon fans (just like me). Fringe disappeared up its own ass, The Mentalist continues to be very watchable and The Walking Dead impressed even more than it has.
Work showed me its true colours at times and made me realise that everyone can be replaced, everyone is expendable and money really is the only reason we do it. Home life is something I still cherish and feel very lucky about and the relationship I have with my girlfriend continues to grow in strength and love. I have lost close to 3 stone over the course of the year thanks to the gym, calorie counting and some healthy eating...in all honesty I really cannot complain - there are people out there far worse off than I will ever know.
So, 2013 - what will you bring?!?!?!?
More writing - want to get my next project published.
New job - definitely something I am already looking into.
Charity work - I want to do more charity work...be that donating or volunteering.
Healthier - now 13 stone 5 pounds...I want to get to 12 stone and tone up.
Friends - want to see my close friends more often.
Inner peace - I get very angry inside...I want to be more at peace with myself and my surroundings.
Enjoy - and finally, I want to enjoy 2013.
I wish all my followers a Happy New Year and hope 2013 is a good one!!!
