2009 is ending, with only 6 days to go.  At New Year, millions of people around the world will give the same old resolutions, and break them instantly.  I have done it many times before – “I’ll get fit”, “I’ll save money”, “I’ll do this”, “I’ll do that” – blah muther fucking blah!  However this time I have a reason to do all this.  A few reasons in fact.

In 2009 I fell ill, again, but this time I grabbed the illness by the balls and instead of doing what everyone else in the world seems to do, and go on drugs from your doctor to try and get over it, I went the alternative route.  I have family members that have fallen into the drugs trap and their lives become shit.  I don’t want to be that way.  I choose life.  I found yoga, I found meditation but I can’t seem to do it, and I found out that I don’t need to drink all the time to have fun.

So this coming year I want to practice yoga more.  I want to practice yoga every day and get my constantly tubby ass moving the way it should be moving.  Am only 31 for god sake, but I can hardly run!

I want to learn all I can about meditation.  To learn how to seek answer from inside myself, instead of Google!

I also want to learn how to cook properly.  I always go for the easy cheap nasty option with food.  And my christmas present this year will come in handy…nice pots and pans (this proves that am old!).

I want to learn more about programming in the .NET world.  I am told am a great programmer, but I know there is so much more I could learn to help me become better.

2009 also showed me what it is like to live in Glasgow, instead of my home town.  My bathroom went a bit tits, and I had to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks while it was fixed.  Well I really didn’t want to come back home.  Not that I don’t love my flat but living in Glasgow made life so much easier.  So this year, and the following 2 years, I need to pay off as much of my debts as I can and then save to help move in to town.  3 years.  That’s all.  Eek.

The last reason I have to keep my resolutions is because I have gotten to that age where most of my friends are all coupled up, married, and having kids.  I feel as though am missing out on this now.  So 2010 I want to find “the one”.  Or maybe a few.

So my new blog will be based around these resolutions – yoga, meditation, cooking, and programming – love and money are things I really don’t want to talk about too much.  I was about to say “I will try and post everyday” but as a wise man once said “Do, or do not.  There is no try.” then I will say, I will post something every day of 2010 about 1 or more of these subjects.  If  no one finds my blogs no worries, but at least it will be an out for me.
