2005 into 2006

2005 was a bit of a roller-coaster ride. I was lying in bed last night listening to fireworks going off as the year ended and another one started having a think back to a few events from the year.

I’m not sure there was one overwhelming experience or event that would be called the best bit of 2005. Travelling from Adelaide to Alice Springs, sailing round the Whitsunday Islands, the nights spent in Byron Bay, motoring along the Great Ocean Road, Cairns, footy in Melbourne.

It had it bad points too though. I disliked Brisbane & Adelaide, I had a run-in or two with an ex-girlfriend, I also had to come home. Both bad things.

But then the memories are there and will live long in the memory. More good than bad and a realisation that life is there to be lived. Enjoyment. Satisfaction. Maybe I spent too long just existing before being kicked up the backside and woken up to the beauty of life but now I enjoy myself more, always looking for something new, somewhere to go or someone who adds a little extra to the glory of life.

I wonder if 2006 could be a better year?

Happy New Year People!

    You know, having read this blog, it doesn’t sound like your year has been all that bad. If you compare it to, say…losing all of your friends, your entire family breaking up, and your current partner’s family coming up to you and telling their son that there are plenty more fish in the sea….for example. I’d say travelling around Australia doesn’t sound like too bad a year at all. Or maybe compare it to something like a year filled with things such as your brother punching and pushing your mother to the ground, and your father looking up matchmaking websites, having affairs, and looking at granny porn and incest porn. You might just find that you had a pretty good year if you think about it….

    Such events would constitute a bit of a shitty year. There are things in life no one should have to deal with.

    Perhaps you need to go off and do something similar. Take a long and winding trip round Aus and go live in Broome!

    Just remember that there’s always someone out there, somewhere in world, that cares about you.
