Farewell 2011
Last year at this very point I wrote a somewhat review of the past year, since then my Tumblr has been a little neglected and this is pretty much my first post in a year, maybe I’ll make that a New Years Resolution, to Tumble more?…
2011 has been essentially 90% amazing and 10% pure ultimate crap. Pretty good balance as far as things go. Reflecting on what I said I would like last year, some things came my way, whilst others did not. I haven’t, as yet, moved out of my parent’s house. This isn’t for the want of trying, but I just simply can’t afford to on my Salary, so if you are looking for someone to live with in the Frome vicinity and you like Back to the Future and sweets, hit me up. I have continued to (and still very much do) enjoy my job. This year has seen a whole new group of young and very talented future artists, who are a great bunch of people to work with, my job is the one thing in my life that really keeps me going and something that I am very proud to be doing. I do actually own my own car now, it was one of the first things I did with my first few pay checks. It’s only a little silver Saxo, but it gets me nicely from home to work and back again and isn’t too bad with boring stuff like fuel economy and cheap repairs (and there’s been one or two of those this year). I hope it lasts me another year, but I would also like to upgrade, maybe in 2012, maybe not. I have very much kept in touch with my friends this year, be they Frome based, Uni based or elsewhere, my friends are my family and some of them I miss more than anything, but luckily lots still talk to me and to see most of my uni friends on my birthday this year was a real fucking treat, those guys are the best people in the world, and they know it. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting some new people, something I love doing, they too know who they are and again are really good people, I hope to meet lots of wonderful new people in 2012. The group holiday thing didn’t actually happen this year, but we are going to ensure it happens next year, we’ve already started looking, and whilst it will be low-key I’m damn sure it will be a laugh, so that’s kind of a repeat resolution, but one to look forward to nonetheless. I’ve been to some great gigs this year and, as I hoped, discovered some new music. Best album of the year? I love Mayday’s self titled effort as well as Deaf Havana’s ‘Fools and Worthless Liars’ so either of those would be an acceptable winner, and on that I do still very much so listen to old music. In 2011 I did meet someone. I met the best friend I could have ever wished for in the World. We shared an amazing year together, and whilst she has gone her separate way, I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me, notably surprising me on my birthday with my friends that she had never even met, it is the most selfless thing anyone has ever done for me and a day that I will never forget. She changed my life and made me a better person and I can only wish her every success for her future. I swear I won’t meet anybody like her ever again. Thank you.
So, 2012 and New year’s resolutions. Well, I think most importantly for next year, Saints need to win the Football League Championship (exiting 2011 top of the table is a promising start). I’m heading up to Coventry next Saturday to see the boys start the new year, and it better be a win as I’m yet to see Southampton take away 3 points from a game I’ve attended. I’m excited to be working with the students again for their End of Year Show and just my job in general. I want to go to a festival, with Glastonbury taking the year off maybe Reading? Or something a little smaller, as well as heading back up north for Slam Dunk and maybe even Hit the Deck this year in Nottingham would be pretty sick. I’m planning on saving up my holiday from work to take in the summer where I want to go places with friends and forget everything. I want to go to tons of gigs. I want to re ignite the boys Christmas Lunch. I want to the Euro 2012 football championships to be good. I can’t wait for the London Olympics and I can’t wait to go to them.
Resolutions. Besides the clichéd and boring stuff I do actually want to stick to some new goals. I would like to complete a half Marathon alongside my brother. I would like to move out. I would like to take more photos. I would like to go abroad. Most importantly, I would like to visit my uni friends, and not just say it, but physically go and see every single one of them. It will be great to see different parts of the country and go places I’ve never even been. That is my promise for 2012 to all of them. I’m coming to stay with you whether they want me to or not.
Farewell 2011. The world has seen some incredible events the past 12 months, I hope that 2012 is not so destructive, but just as important to all of us.
Have a fantastic New Years Eve all and happy 2012
