Reading back my posts below, I apologise for how ridiculous and dull they can seem but in all honesty, I was sort of using it to just channel some of my boredom and I can barely muster a titter at them as they aren't that funny. They're ridiculous like the updates on other social media, including the classic 'I'm at a party and I've tagged some friends. Yeah that's right. Friends. Look, I'm even holding a drink so I'm fun in a 'I can part-ay' sort of way. Go on, keep flicking through my pictures and you'll see I become more inebriated as the night goes on which means I know how to have a good time' to the annoyingly cryptic 'OMG cannot blieve that jus happened!! some people need to get a life' to elicit sympathy from some close friends and the group of guys I term 'desperados' in the least Antonio Banderas-esque way, only for that sympathy to go wasted as the postee remains tight-lipped about his/her dichotomy to be mysterious. If you do that, you're not mysterious. You're annoying and a terrible human being. :) (I put a smiley face on to soften the blow. I only do that because of this major thing that happened to me once that changed my life forever).
Anyway, I thought about my situation at the moment and everything is a bit stagnant. Nothing really happens. It's work, then home. Work, then home. Excitement. Disappointment. Work, then home. I don't know if this sounds familiar or not, but by the looks of social media, people seem to be making a go of life in a much more effective way than me. Going out, travelling, meeting new people. I've tried to spice up life in my current surroundings but that's about as easy as arsehole surgery on a twerker (should have gone with the conventional 'fart in a wetsuit' but you gotta keep it current, right?).
So I've set some goals up for 2014 which I want to post so there's a constant reminder for me to achieve these goals. In no particular order:
Learn some form of martial arts
Get fit
Learn a new language
Make my first short film and be screened at a reputable film festival
Travel to at least two other countries outside of the UK
One life changing moment (non-specific I know, but it's the less annoying kind of mystery)
Anything you feel is worth doing, let me know and it might make the list but that's a pretty good start I think. The only way to break out of stagnancy is to force the issue. Otherwise, it's too easy to just do what you're used to until it's too late. Putting yourself in a 'fight or flight' moment might be the answer to it all.
