Every year I have just one true resolution, and that is to do something substantial that I will remember. My memory is an odd thing - I will remember stupid things like dictionary definitions word for word but then will forget something simple like the first movie I saw with my girlfriend or how I managed to get water in my snazzy keyboard. That’s a private joke between me and my girlfriend who doesn’t even read this blog. Sorry, I’ll not do that again.
Anyway last year (2007) I got into digital photography, went to Australia for 3 weeks, had a fantastic meal at Claridges with Sharon Osbourne, got made redundant (sort of), and turned down two jobs. Obviously I did more but those are the big things that come to mind. In previous years I count things like moving into London, getting a job, passing exams, jumping out of a plane, etc.
This year will be a big year as I will be moving out of my flat in London and will be living with my girlfriend. That’s about all I know for sure at the moment. Will I move to Florida? Will I ever be made redundant? Will I finally get a Macbook?
I guess what I am saying is that you should always get to the end of the year knowing that you took a few risks and that at least some of them paid off. Unfortunately 2007 wasn’t a fantastic year for my family, but great things did happen. Here’s to more great things in 2008!
By the way, rumours are mounting for an Macbook announcement in a couple of weeks. I may have that Macbook Pro before the end of January - what a way to start the year!
Oh yes, and the first movie I saw with my girlfriend was Bruce Almighty. I tried to think of something I couldn’t remember but I couldn’t remember anything.
