The Year of Me

// January 28th, 2010 // 4 Comments » // Uncategorized

I have dubbed 2010 “The Year of Me”.

It is the year that I turn 30, the year that has the fortune to succeed an insane and spirit crushing 2009, and the year that I learn to relax. I figure as my third decade encroaches that I’ve earned the right to flip off unnecessary social propriety and cast aside a paralysing fear of appearing human. It will be the year that I learn to take myself more seriously and my hobbies less so, and that I work on a comprehensive inside-out programme that finds me in my happy place (TBD) 90% of my waking time.

In addition:

  • I will be less outwardly pretentious. I say this as I sit here with a massive Ikea mug of delicious homemade vegetable soup that I just “whipped up” and a glass of glorious 2000 vintage La Cardonne from the Médoc. Being a pompous hypocrite certainly does have its perks.
  • I will write here at Dodgy daily.  There was a time when I could not live without a journal and it has been years since I’ve kept one regularly.  The lack of reflection time has not gone unnoticed and I really feel that it’s been detrimental to my overall well-being.
  • I will get to know my parents.  I know next to nothing about their youth, early relationship, or the whirlwind of destruction that was my toddler-hood.  This is a crime.  I have the best parents in the world (no ‘my mommy didn’t love me’ stories here) and I would like to know them better as people.  When you’re 30 you’re allowed to say that with a straight face.
  • I will get into better shape physically.  Laugh all you like, but I have bought a Wii Fit Plus.  It all comes down to knowing yourself.  No matter how many expensive gym memberships I buy, or how many times I want to get back into competitive sports it will not happen.  I know this now.  So I have found something that caters to my need to exercise solo and indulge in video games.  The Year of Mii.
  • I will get into better shape mentally.
  • Not once will I spend an hour and a half calculating what I would do if I won the lottery that evening.  I will live in the realm of optimistic reality, not self-pitying idealism.
  • I will be honest with myself and with others.
  • I will count my blessings, each and every one.  There are many and often they are overlooked or overshadowed.

We all think that airline food is crap, but some of us just ain’t standing for it no more. A Virgin Airways passenger wrote an open letter to owner Richard Branson, slamming his unidentifiable nosh on a Mumbai to London flight:
