Today I write for you my second post of 2012. As the lame people on twitter speak: page 14 of 366 till we DIE. -_- ok then..
I thought I'd just lay out the game plan for the year ahead, much like a To-do list and actually stick to it.
I just discovered this artist La Roux the other day.. YET ANOTHER GINGER:
(Not for sensitve viewers)
And at first I was all:
THEN I realised you can't kill fire with fire. *dies*
AND THEN I realised her name means red in French.
That moment was a bit like this:
Fitting for a ginger although unimaginative.
I listened to that album a couple times.. discovered two songs which seem rather relevant for my attitude at the moment.
The first is In for The Kill .. That is how I'm approaching the year ahead. It's my first time studying via correspondence, while hopefully working fulltime and being all growed up. The only way to do something like this is to approach it with no fear. This is what I have to.
The second song, was Bulletproof. Also very relevant in the fact that I'm past being screwed over by companies and losing friends. I don't need that much drama in my life. From now on it's kick-ass all the way, absolutely nothing can attack me this year. Except for a velociraptor, 'cause you know, that could happen when you least expect it to.
Speaking of Bulletproof.. I've told you people before that I like to dabble in music.. I want to record a version of Bulletproof with my voice.. I think it might be pretty killer.
I actually wonder if (except for Dec 21st 2012) we have any other planned raptures for this year. I mean I'm already a two-time rapture survivor thanks to last year, I'm practically a veteran. Dec 21st happens to be a Friday, just by the way:-
Gotta have my bowl
Gotta have cereal
Everybody's Russian:- wait, what? O_o
FUN FUN FUN FUN
Back on topic though, all of my university course work has arrived in the mail. I've got all my text books and I start on Monday, which according to their tutorial books is about 2 weeks earlier than necessary but I'm determined to be disciplined about this. This is important if I plan to have a real career instead of trying to remember some people don't like gerkins on their Big Macs. After this bcom degree I'd like to study my MBA as well. Estimated date of study completion? End of 2017 O_O
I also plan to become employed hopefully within a matter of weeks, a proper job at a proper company. No more sales bullshit. And no more office automation, ever again. Hopefully if I find the right job, I can sort of build the base of a career, thinking long-term of course. And with the kind of job positions I've been aiming for, saving money should be a possiblity. (y)
To join a gym, of course is one of my next plans of action. This working out at home story.. I'm tired of it. Along with that, is to relax more - this includes catching a tan. Lily white is old.
Assuming all goes to plan, and I can save enough money, I'd like to take myself overseas at the end of the year. I'm thinking New York. Possibly my favourite city in the world, it's been a dream to go there forever. Any wonder why? >
I can hear the Hallelujah Corus even now.
I've also applied for a job in Munich, Germany. Surprising, but true. If I get and opportunity like that I'm taking it no question. And it's in my hopeful line of work, creative. It's a copy-writing post.
Another goal, which may be made easier if I go to Germany, is to buy myself a new car within a year or two. It's just a personal goal. Currently I have my eye on a BMW 1 series coupe or the 2012 VW Beetle, as I currently drive a 2000 Bug. It'll be easier to buy it there, drive it for a year and then ship it over here if I move back. That way the car's price is nearly halved because as a South Africa, we pay nearly 100% the item's original value as import tax.
By the way I have a kitteh now. :D
Her name is Grace, she was an SPCA rescue and she's nearly 2 years old. She's a Peach Calico. Inbetween the date we saw her and when we were supposed to get her, apparently her old owners went back and reclaimed her. Yesses was I pissed off about that. But when we went back, 'cause we'd already paid, she was still there. :) Apparently it was some mix up in paperwork. But it's cool, she's home now. This has to be the most chilled cat I've ever met. Very happy. You can find pictures on twitterrrrrr
So yeah, that's my take on 2012, for the moment at least. I'm off to record now, as I said before.
Enjoy your evening kiddies.
P.S. My next post is going to be something a little different.. It's fictional (mostly) and is mostly the retelling of a (very) vivid dream I had the other night. If you interpret dreams, please come forward, help a dude out?
