2010.
Doesn’t look right does it?
I mean,
It’s the future isn’t it?
The future!
And still no Hoverboards.
Anyways.
Onwards we all go and with that in mind,
I’ve finally found the time to put my New Years Resolutions together.
Resolutions are great things for me.
To write them down is even better.
A constant reminder to myself to do better.
Last years resolutions were pretty tall and I didn’t get through all of them.
But I did okay.
I did quite fucking well actually.
Some of the ones I managed changed me.
Some for the better,
Some for the worse.
I’m feeling a little more nostalgic this year and a helluva lot more optimistic!
Here are The New Ones:
Swim with sharks.
Write a book.
Take things less seriously.
Go fishing. (I’ve never done that).
Spend more time with some of my pals who I haven’t seen in too long.
Photograph Glasgow in the a.m when it’s empty.
Learn to swear in 4 languages.
Find the love of my life.
Research my Family Tree.
Stop living the Vampire Existence I’ve been living.
Climb a big hill.
Get my dead friend Mark the recognition him and his Artwork deserve.
Row a boat.
Apologise less for being myself.
Learn to dance.
Be a better Son, Friend, Brother & Uncle.
Visit Millport.
Shave my sideburns off and grow EVEN BIGGER ONES!
Learn The Banjo.
Go to a mass at Glasgow Cathedral.
Charge upfront for Illustration & Art projects.
Read that Big fuck off Biography of JFK that’s sat on my bookshelf since 1997.
Put a message in a bottle into The Clyde.
Find a new job.
Tell that prick that works in the shop down the road that he’s a Prick.
Take on No More than I can physically do.
Stop Googling: ‘Death’, ‘Dying’, ‘Loss’ & ‘Fear’.
Buy a goldfish.
Name the goldfish ‘Figaro’.
Make a sound collage.
Draw a picture of Billy Connolly.
Watch ‘The Shining’ less.
Confront my deep rooted fears of Death, Lonliness, Religion & The Catholic Church.
Go on holiday.
Look,
It might seem like a lot.
But you watch.
I’ll do them all.
Maybe not in that exact order but I’ll do them.
You watch Alan.
We’ll do them!
Stop talking aloud to myself.
I hope the New Year treats everybody kindly.
Do you have resolutions?
What are they?
