2009 - a Retrospective.
It's around two in the morning and I have work at nine, quite frankly I should be asleep! - Might have something to do with the bottle of "Spark" Vitamin Water I drank just before bed...well, Spark by name, Spark by nature - yes, that would be the guarana!?
To kill time, I thought I would log in, and review the year - How did I get on with my "Things to do in 2009"?
The new me in 2009 was going to....
Save some money every month – I’m thinking £20 is a good place to start? - FAIL
Aim to visit the gym at least twice a week. - FAIL, (I left!)
Only go out on the town once...OK, twice a week. - FAIL, although I'm sure I've slowed down!
Read more books - FAIL
Keep my Fraser-card on zero balance - FAIL
Eat healthy balanced diet. - Tried at this one..improving, all be it slowly
Take more photos. - PASS!
So, overall dissapointing! That wasn't enough for me..(what was I thinking!?) I was going to do the following as well...
1) Have a clear out (both London and Essex house) and EBay /charity shop stuff I don’t need. PASS
2) Sign up for French Lessons. - FAIL
3) Watch the sun-rise over London from Primrose Hill. - PASS
4) Go for dinner at Yauatcha, Soho - PASS
5) Visit Scotland. - FAIL
6) Go and play Bingo. - FAIL
7) Visit Buckingham Palace. - FAIL
8) Learn to cook dim-sum. - FAIL
9) Re-visit roller disco. - FAIL
10) Organise a University re-union. - FAIL
11) Go on a bike ride. - FAIL
12) Buy and keep alive a goldfish. - FAIL
13) Sing at Karaoke - PASS
14) Go and have a drink in the North London Tavern with Jo and Lori. - FAIL
4 out of 14 complete - oh dear! Well I shan't lose face, todays the 31st of December, I have until midnight to complete the other 10 right? So, here's the plan...actually, who am I kidding? That's clearly not going to happen, I could scoot past Buckingham Palace in my lunch break but it's not likely.
Going to keep it a little more achievable for 2010...what to do!? what to do!?

Aww it's Lulu my sister's new house rabbit - she's not trying to swim, she's actually trying to walk/ hop along my Mum's laminate floor - bless.
Me and my mates went along to help her choose the lil thing on Monday morning..I'm not going to lie, I was still drunk from the night before, I nearly asked the woman if I could buy rabbit clothes - my sister's lucky she was served and the RSPCA weren't called in.
House Rabbits - so fashionable right now!

TWEET!
I'm Paul and I'm a twitter-holic!
I remember signing up thinking this totally wont catch on, this is ridiculous, why would I use this here twitter, updating with just 140 characters when I could be connecting through facebook with as many words as I want?
Well truth is I think I'm nearly over la facebook!? I think it started to bore me when it got too clever? It was just a place to share some pics and vids, post a witty comment on a "wall" or perhaps send the cheeky poke....now there are two feeds, "live" and "news" (I still don't know the difference), I'm being notified of friends playing scrabble and what their last 7 letter score was and others who have found imaginary animals on imaginary farms? You're browsing away then all of a sudden four chat pages load up, you've got people you've never met wanting to be your friend and you've been invited to at least 4 events that both you and the other person know you won't be attending. Oh and don't say you "like" someone's status...you'll regret it when 400 other peoples comments get sent through, facebook seems to play matchmaker partnering up like-minded people - wrong!
Twitter is a lot more simpler, oh yes...140 characters, perhaps the odd pic - bish bash bosh - done!...I've got the ubertwitter application on my Blackberry and must admit I'm a serial updater! "I'm tired", "I'm awake", "I am vwery drunik". You know what you need to know, you can reply if you want, if you dont want to that's fine - simples!
Another fabulous thing is that every Tom, Dick and Celebrity is on there...wan't to know Stephen Fry or Ashton Kutcher's most inner thoughts? Just log on - they update on the minute, every minute! "Celebs" self-promoting themselves like crazy (just follow ParisHilton, Spencerpratt and heidimontag) Amazing! At the moment I have 49 followers and I'm following 101 people.
I'm a twitter-holic and proud - come follow me! "Pauluk1983".

Herman?
Just been out with some mates for dinner. On the tube home I realised that my blackberry has sent the following texts to my mate Lori all on it's own...
That's right..."Herman, hermaphorodite, Herman, Herman" - well of course!
That's right..."Herman, hermaphorodite, Herman, Herman" - well of course!
3 for 2.
Everyone around me seems to have finished their Christmas Shopping...slightly panicked by this I decided to hit the shops last weekend.
I was in Covent Garden, I popped into a well known book shop which shall remain nameless (Waterstones)...I had a couple of books to buy for someone as a gift. I managed to track them down, went to pay and the lady behind the till smiled at me then looked at me like I was slightly retarded. She pointed out the sticker on the front of the book, "3 for 2"...she stopped putting the books through the till and suggested I go and see which book I wanted as my third and to pop back in a few minutes once I'd decided. I smiled back, did my whole roll of the eyes/ "aren't I silly" thing, then headed back in.
Well....I wandered those shelves for well over half an hour! I only needed 2 books - don't make me get three! I went up and down the shelves seriously about 15 times, I swear I must have looked like I was about to shop-lift, slowly sussing the place out, one security camera at a time.
Every time I thought I had found a possible contender it wasn't included in the frigin offer and I got that same deflated feeling as I trawled round again.
I didn't want a third book! I was tempted to go and just pay for the two but then I thought that the lady might think I was some sort of snob that didn't want to partake in any sort of offer or worst she thought I wasn't clued up enough to find an alternative book, clearly a reader of heat magazine and not the hard stuff. I kept searching.
Well you'll be glad to hear that some time later I did manage to find my final book, in fact I found four...If you're reading this and you get a book from me, a book you hate, a book you have no idea why I bought it for you, please just remember it's the thought and the amount of time spent on it's selection that counts! ;o)
