Happy New Year

Well, here we go again, another 12 months of work, study, love, pain, tears, laughter, hunger, thirst, hangovers. And you know what....bring it on, love it. It defines us as a race, ok one that makes mistakes, but in the words of Victoria Wood 'we'll probably blunder about, buggering it up like everyone else' so true. Just looking at some pics from a holiday i had at my friends house in Cork, its the pic il publish after this. I took it on the morning when i was returning to my home up north. I took this listening to Sigur Ros 'The Nothing Song' and Salt Tank 'Eugina'. It was early morning in the summer, the air had that lovely hazy summer smell, with a hint of the salt from the sea. The town hadnt woken up properly, i felt like i was the only one alive, there wasnt a sense of lonliness, but an almost sense of complete being. I will take a video of the morning sometime in a couple of weeks, as i will be going there for a week of good food (my friend got a side of venison from the butcher so we intend to stuff ourselves) i will make one of my lasagnas and mac'n'cheese; lots of alcohol (he just got some fine wines delivered!) and a plethora of movies from funnies to horror! and probably due to the weather being shit, we dont intend going anywhere very far! only into Cork city for some shopping. I took my Christmas decortations down on the 28th, couldnt be bothered looking at them anymore, that may sound really Scrooge-like, but to be honest, for me it ends on the 25th evening, the dinner thing has been done, you're vegged out in front of the telly watching the Christmas special of Doctor Who and drinking a glass of wine, trying desperatly not to fall asleep! and really wanting to go home and watch whatever dvds family have bought for you. My exams start in a week...EEK! but at least il have the trip to look forward to after it. Right im off to consume a pot of coffee and get some revision done (not too much though, it is New Years Eve after all!)
love and blessings for a fantastic new year
