Pat's BlogResolutionsMonday, January 03, 2005 at 4:53 PM A few years ago I decided my New Year's Resolution would be not to make any new year's resolutions. I felt great, safe in the knowledge that I'd been really clever in thwarting the system, standing up to the man and saying "Sod off, I'm not conforming!". Then I realised a huge number of people refuse to make new year's resolutions and I suddenly realised that I wasn't being radical, simply following the new system of NOT following the system. My first taste of post-modernism. If that's what it is :-) Anyways, since then I've had lots of beer. So I have always had a nice new year's resolution or two to make. This year's are no different: 1) Have no beer 2) Drink alcohol less 3) Eat healthier 4) Get fit It all stems from the need to Feel Great, which as usual at this time of year, I'm not really. I shan't bore you with the details, but if you're *really* interested then send a text to 8-2005, starting the text with "WOW I AM REALLY INTERESTED IN WHY HE'S NOT FEELING GREAT AT THE MOMENT PLEASE TELL ME MORE THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED I AM MOST GRATEFUL REALLY I AM WOOH". All texts cost £1,000 + your standard network charge. 1p per text is donated to charity. To be honest, it doesn't really matter how I'm feeling atm, as I'm alive. Unlike the (approx at the mo) 200,000 people in Sri Lanka and neighbouring areas. The scale of that tragedy really is too much to comprehend. :-( I've got to say though that it's really restored my faith in the human species - UK residents alone had donated over £60mil to the relief effort the last time I checked, which is just superb. If you know anyone at all who was affected by the tragedy you have my deepest sympathies. Righty, on that note I'm gonna clear off... catchya later! 0 Comments: |
