Retirement


Since the abrupt end (a rather crudely executed end on my part) to my last relationship, I have enjoyed the many fruits of singledom including, inter alia, unused phone credit that rolls over to the next month and not being reprimanded for 'accidental exhibitions' of flatulence.

But even the sweetest of fruits grow bitter in time (and no doubt rotten) and my career as a bachelor has spanned two years and four months - that's two years and four months of being a wanker (take that however you will). Perhaps it's time to hang up the boots.

Given that I have not made any serious attempts to be in a relationship, my unwavering bachelor status during these years could mean only one of two things:
  1. All the ladies have been trying their hardest to refrain from approaching me (and indeed, from clinging onto my left leg).
  2. No ladies have been interested in me.
Speaking rationally, option one seems to be the more likely case, however if I am to make a serious attempt at ending my unbroken run of singledom, then I would assume the latter and take a prudent course of action - I will make the approach.

And thus ends my conscious desire to remain single. Ok ladies... you can stop trying to not approach me now... Hello? Anyone? My left leg is free...

Ah fuck.

I'm in for a long ride.

Holiday Season

After finishing my last exam on the 10th of November (for the year of 2010), I am now at liberty to do what I want. Having decided that I will try my hand at composition, I have opened up 'Garageband' (a program that came as default on my iMac) and have experimented with it a little. To my glee they have vocal effects:




A fun filled holiday I think.

"Hey man, what are you doing for your 21st?"


Oh joy, I have to plan a party. I'm almost as excited as Big Kev right now............. (he's dead).

I don't like formalities, the whole mumbo jumbo of a 21st birthday being a significant date has long been associated with traditions of gifts, formal wear and function rooms......I don't want that.

Personally, and with no disrespect to those that have/going to have their 21st parties as what I have described above, I see formalities as ways of marking and showing the host to his/her guests that this event is important to them and vice versa. I don't need that, the people that are invited (and actually turn up or have a legitimate and life threatening excuse) would already have shown their respect in the sense of being your close friends for the time they have known you. Would you want to leave a hole in their pockets due to presents?, Dance around awkwardly in suits? or worse..in a room....for SEVERAL HOURS.

As for the birthday, I know what'll make me happy, nice food in my stomach and having fun with friends, possibly getting drunk off my face (although the last time I did that, I ended up regretting it for over 2 years).

The five Ws you ask?, well just check your invites :)
