lonemagpieWell, 2014 at least wasn’t as disastrous and filled with losses as 2013 was - we “only” lost Her Mogjesty, but at least gained Sforza Caterina and Lorenzo di Marmalade - but it was somewhat lacking in progress or achievement. I know there are some things I’ve done that are things I’ve done good - enabled getting Lesley’s mum home to a good new house, trained up Lesley to get authorised for her fencing, helped my friend when in hospital, got new books to write… But what I *feel* is the books undelivered, the boxes I haven’t sorted through yet, the friend I can’t help right now…
I think it’s Palahniuk’s Law - we don’t feel the good things as well as the bad, cos the good things don’t leave marks or scars. Or maybe it’s just that it’s as bad to have too little pride and arrogance as to have too much, because then victories or successes mean nothing and it’s just the failures and losses that remain.
Or maybe it’s all just random chance, shit happens.
Anyway, I’ll do my now-usual year’s soundtrack listing later.
As for New Year’s resolutions, well, I’ve never been a fan of them. I guess it’s the same as I always do: write as much as I can, help my loved ones as much as I can… Apparently I can’t take a hint on those things. Still an idiot (without a box), passing through, learning and trying to help. Yeah, I know all the advice would be “love yourself more as well”, but I don’t have the narcissism for it, and also I have a filthy mind and thus will always turn it into a wanking reference.
