Absolute Pest

I have no idea just yet.

I caught a glimpse

 But its been forgotten

So here we are again

I made a vow,

To carry you home, home.

I really tried, to do what you want.

It all went wrong again.

Mum reminding me of..

When I was a baby and ate the shopping list, I was a greedy little shit from the very beginning. However, I’ve been on my fifth run today of 2012, soon I will have a body like Beyonce.

My new shoes make me happy, other things that have happened today do not make me happy.

5 things I’ve done today.

1. Woke up ridiculously late when I had planned a whole day of revision.

2. Took my watch for repair and found out it’s going to cost me £65 for a new glass face. Never drinking Tequila again.

3. Applied for work experience at Manchester Evening News.

4. Booked train tickets from Sheffield to London in March for £22.45, only £13.20 for First Class!

5. Scanned and photocopied every article I’ve had published so far. Absolute chore.

Not so unproductive after all, apart from the fact I’ve done zero revision..

Pretending it’s still Christmas. Smells delicious.

New Year’s Resolutions.

We no longer need new resolutions each year. We need new habits. Habits, memories, personal and social ritual are what make up our daily lives. I drink Diet Coke because I think the real thing is the sugar devil; that’s a habit. Salad cream instead of mayonnaise, that sort of thing.

Resolutions bring with them the subconscious stigma that we’re not going to keep them any further than the third week of January, (or the first week of February if you’re one of the lucky ones). Unrealistic goals lead us to quickly lose faith and we may aswell be back in 2011 again.

If you really want to achieve a goal, quit an addiction, change career paths, transform your image, why wait for another milestone to do it? Each day is full of opportunities and you can start afresh each time you wake.
