Follow The Steps.

Right. So this was a hell of a lot easier than I originally anticipated.  I have been delaying this for quite a while now so lets file this little accomplishment under " New Years Resolutions". tick.

So do you have any new years resolutions? I was listening to a chap talk about his resolutions the other day and he has decided that after 20 years of massive new years eve parties and huge promises to himself at midnight, to scrap all future resolutions entirely. He wonders what the point is of making these life changing or rather life altering decisions on only one day a year. I personally thought it was done on new years purely from a timeline point of view, I mean its easier to say "oh, I haven't been arrested for about 18 days now" then to try and remember its anniversary from some other random date. ( I'm ignoring the whole new beginnings and clean slate idea here.) Anyway, so this guy asks why change so many things in one day ?. He mantains that every time you have an urge to change something, do it immediately when the thought occured to you. Otherwise you will have to write all these little personal tweaks down in a little black book and try to remember them all when you have your epiphinic new years party. The huge amount of change that would occur if you followed through with all your new resolutions at one time would probably be as effective as self immolation. In the sense that absolutely no one would recongnise you anymore. Hey, I reckon change is good but perhaps in smaller doses. At least give it a fair chance.

So here is to my new endevour, a blog, decided on a random date 18th January 2011 and I bet you no one will notice any difference. Only me, and I think that's the point.
