They say that whatever you are doing over the new year, that’s how your life will be for the rest of the year. Last year on New Year’s Eve, my PC, Laptop and xBox 360 broke all at the same time. I spent New Year’s Eve depressed, and as it turns out, the year ended up very crappy.
This year I’m going to make sure I spent New Year’s Eve writing.
I’m not making a New Year’s Resolution, because I don’t believe anyone should wait until the new year to make changes in your life. Make a ‘right now’ resolution.
Instead, I just want to list a few things that I really really hope the New Year brings to me.
Firstly, I want to finish writing something that I’m proud of. I’m sick of writing and writing, only to get to the end and hate what I’ve written. The current book I’m writing is a rewrite of the last book I wrote, and it’s going very well. So far I’m happy with it, and I can’t wait till its finished.
Secondly, I want to get fit. I’ve already started doing pushups, but I’m going to start other exercises as well, and improve my fitness. I’m just sick of being lazy, and envious of people who can walk up stairs and not get puffed out (yes, that’s now unfit I am).
Thirdly, I want a nice house. Now it’s always been my dream to move out, because I’ve lived in the same house for 32 years and I’m absolutely sick of it, but now that I’m taking care of Dad, I have to face the fact that I’m probably going to be stuck here a while. So I guess I just have to change my surroundings and make my house nicer. Not that I have any money for that.
Fourthly, I want a life godamnit! I’m sick of being a nerd with no life who lives on the internet. Its hard now, with Dad, for me to get out and do stuff, but I’m going to Uni next year, so hopefully I can get out of the house and start interacting with real people. Not that I know how to interact with people, but I can learn.
