Do you make resolutions? And if so what are your resolutions for 09?

2008 was a pretty shitty year over all.

 It started out alright, and I figured by this time I’d be in London. Starting to plan our wedding. But instead I’m left feeling like it’s one step forward, two steps back. Only I feel like it’s many more than two steps back.

 It all started with a whirlwind romance, the beginning of a radio career, a job merching for some of the best and biggest bands and festivals Australia has to offer. But five months in it all fell apart. After the first death of the year. I hung around, going back and forth between homes, with a fucked up ankle, after I fell off a bus. And waiting on tenderhooks for the next death, that we all knew was coming, and it did. 3 months to the day, in almost exactly the same way.

I ended up being evicted from my house, for several reasons, but one being my never being around, and moved back to Adelaide and back in with my Mother and Harley.
Not long after this a confession came from the aformentioned Fianz about his deceit and betrayal in London. And yet worse was the fact that it was someone from home, someone we had spoken about in none too pleasant terms, someone who I’d had problems with before, due to her big hear and DIVA antics.

(But all has been righted, as I ditched his ass, and she publicly humiliated herself, time and time again throughout November, making many people lose respect for her, and my bible crucify her publicly within it’s pages, and not with plans of resurrection)

The deaths continued, as I write this, the last funeral of the year is no doubt drawing to a close. This year was peppered with deaths. Not so much close friends and family, the inner-circle people. But distant friends, friends of friends, people I’d hung out with, partied with, step-family.

2008 wasn’t a good year, but it wasn’t the worst either. It was nowhere near as crushing as 2002, or anywhere near as growth inducing as 1996. It was also nowhere near as amazing as 2007, or as life-changing as 2005 was.

It was an incredible mixture of everything. There were incredible times and horrible times. It was undoubtedly quite the manic year.

Bring on 09

Raise your glass to it being better.

i will be back tonight/tomorrow

hope you had a good one

Big Love goes out to Boozy Suzy (a.k.a My Momz).

Who celebrates her double 21st today.

Go you old thing you.

This year has flown by, in so many ways, but in another way it feels like I haven’t achieved a damn thing, actually I can say with all certainty that I have not accomplished anything. It did start off well though, with the whirlwind romance, but more on that in my year re-caps. Which are all on their way. But I still have two weeks to get them out, and get all my shit in order, as to welcome in the new year in style, and with a somewhat clean slate.

I suppose I should elaborate on my whereabouts of late, and no I can’t use obsessive working as an excuse, seeing as I’ve had almost two weeks off, which has driven me insane. And the lack of funding giving the time of year, hasn’t helped the situation either. The reason lies within the fact that I’ve been hanging out in the local hospital, don’t fret dear interwebs, I’m not dying or anything of the like (well as far as I know), and you know something I’ve worked out I still hate hospitals as much as I used too. ‘09 is definetly going to be a year of working on my health though, especially with all this latest she-bang. I can’t really explain it all, especially not here, if you want to know email me.But shits been crazy, and I’m sick of Doctors, Hospitals, and am so glad to have a break until the new year, and am happy to be going back to work, with or without doctors permission. So as of Saturday life returns to usual.

Other things are creeping up, Christmas is so close, and although I’ve done all my shopping bar one person, and the group/family present. I’m not really in the mood as such, this year there has been no christmas songs, no pageants, it’s really been kept to a minimum, and probably more present has been my resentment towards other christmas shoppers, it’s meant to be the bloody joyful season, yet shoppers seem to overlook this fact, and are more than ready and willing to fight you for that last toy left on the shelf, believe me I know, I’ve been pushed, shoved and had rude things muttered at me.

We did however let Harley decorate the tree on his own, the results;

We did clean it up later on with his help, but it’s still barren of presents underneath, not because he wants to open them, but because if a present isn’t for him and he’s helped wrap it, he has a nasty habit of taking it to the person, and telling them exactly what is in there, and telling them ‘but you can’t have it till christmas’. So now presents are being hidden in various places throughout the house, it’s very much high alert opening any cupboard at the moment, because you don’t know if a blender or a truck wrapped up in christmas paper is going to fall out on top of your head. It’s the first real christmas that Harley has got it though, and he really is a cute kid. When Santa asked what he would like for Christmas his reply was ‘Just some presents please!’ Seriously this kid would be happy with a cardboard box, although believe me thats not what he’s getting, his bounty is plentiful. And he’s more than happy to give rather than receive, which just makes me beam with pride. He asked to take some lollies to Santa when he went to see him(not sure if this is a sucking up ploy, which Harley is also gifted in), which bowled Santa over, he also asked if we could buy his Kindergarten teachers presents, and he was so proud with his chest all puffed out when, and that grin on his face, when he handed his presents over on his last day. He’s such a sensitive, lovely kid, yet still a total boy and it makes my heart fill with pride, which I probably tell him too much, because he’s forever telling people ‘my sisters proud of me‘ and ‘I’m the best brother in the world.’

So how have you been my bloggy friends?
