As these teenage dreams and nightmares…

January 1, 2008

…start to fade away, I’d like to wish you all a happy new year and hope you had a good festive period, whatever you were doing. I hate the new year. The mas holiday is lovely for me because I can just chill and read and stay in bed til 12 and play on the internet and go shopping. Then the 2nd of January comes around and its time to leave it all behind and snap into attention like a lean racehorse, with two weeks worth of work to catch up on. Back to reality, back to praying I can hang on to this job for another year. Waiting to see what awful things are going to happen to me this year. Oh goody.   

I’m going to be 20 in 18 days. It’s time to stop fucking around and get on with the rest of my life. I may not ever be as good a writer or as famous a writer as Stephen King or Neil Gaiman but so help me, I’m not going to find out if I spend the rest of my life sitting about watching David Firth films. I can’t do anything else, can’t paint, photoshop or animate stuff. Can’t act either.

Watch this space. I’m working on some new material (some of which hopefully will be unshit enough to submit to a few webzines or something) and than I will be back to kick all your arses!! HA!

Here’s to 2008. I have no idea where I’m going to be by the end of it, but that’s all part of the fun isn’t it, Doctor? Who knows, maybe the good things will outweigh the bad this year! Funny how you get really exciting years and really boring years and the good and bad stuff always seems to even out. 2007 was too much for anyone from my POV. Way too much was going on. I loved the medium rare steak, but I didn’t care for the tequila (both of which I had for the first time this year). Let’s have a nice quiet year, with no shitty relationships or losing of jobs, or people dying, or being promoted (rough with the smooth and all that….), so I can concentrate on taking over the universe.

Good luck this year, dudes. Love you all.

Life On Mars

August 24, 2007

No, not the song by David Bowie, or the TV series. I just thought it was a good title for this post.

This is something I came up with a while ago. Read it and then re-ask yourself (if you ever indeed asked yourself this questiion) why men have problems with commitment:

When women fall in love, their attitude is (whether they are aware of it or not) ‘Oh whoopee! I’ve finally found a man who will buy me nice things and look after me. I can give up working and have babies! Squeeee!’

On the other hand, when men fall in love (if they ever really do. God I’m so bitter and cynical!) it’s more like ‘Oh my god – I’ve got to protect this woman for the rest of my life and I can’t run around having sex with anything wearing a skirt anymore. Bollocks!’ It doesn’t exactly induce warm and fuzzy feelings, does it? I’d run a fucking mile as well.
