116th Movement
"An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name"
2008 is a year come and gone...and now it really is a time for reflection and all that.
Of course, not that anyone would give a shit about that, but who cares?
2008 has been a screwed up year, because all the memories that I can remember are all useless, unforgettable horrible experiences. Perhaps it's just the mind that does all these, remembering only unhappy times...of course there are good times but the bad times are easier to think of.
Looking at the many aspects of my life, it seems that the only accomplishments are the ones that are halfway thought of and the ones that are done by others, not myself. Interestingly, all those ideas seemed to be great ideas, until I realised that I can never ever do it on my own, being the little insignificant man that I am.
"Did you ever hear what I told you?
Did you ever read what I wrote you?
Did you ever listen to what we played?
Did you ever let in what the world said?
Did we get this far just to feel your hate?
Did we play to become only pawns in the game?
How blind can you be, don't you see?
You chose the long road, but we'll be waiting"
I'm really hoping 2009 to be different, to be something positive. All these years it's always been more and more complaints, I hope they were reasonable complaints, if not then I'm the biggest jackass of the world. Honestly, I just want a peaceful year, I may not have what I want but it's something I'm used to having already.
Next: New Year Resolutions:
1) Be more committed to priorities
2) Try to form a symphonic metal band

4) Still try to reach school by 7.30am even though class is at 10am
5) Be more committed to the arts and Monday night soccer
6) Learn more instruments
7) Use less vulgarities
8) Save more money
9) Go for confession at least once a week (trying...)
10) Try to go for weekday masses (I'll need someone to help me with this)

You receive but what you give"
