Photos from my sick bed.

Today I'm off sick from work. I hate it. I hate being ill, I'm bored, and I'm worried what might happen to Raymond (my new found raccoon friend) while I'm not at work. So while I sit here in bed, swamped in illness and self-pity, I decided I would produce my first blog photo exhibition using my new camera and one of it's cartoon-y special effects settings. It's a 4 piece exhibition that is titled 'Photos from my sick bed'. Enjoy.

That is all.

Your life belongs to me now.

Where are you going in life? What do you want to get from life? Why are you living the way you are currently living? This is what we have been asking ourselves in my office this week. Not for actual work purposes of course, but as part of our random chitter-chatter we have going on throughout the day. One of my colleagues had a consultation with a life coach, someone who assesses your life, makes you break down your life into different sections, helps you work out what your goals are in life and then help you focus on achieving the said goals. We're all a little bit fascinated by it all and have started looking a little closer at ourselves and our lives.

So, after these recent conversations regarding life coaches I have now become my friend Vikki's personal life coach. From our discussions she's discovered that she lacks a little willpower, isn't quite sure what her goals are in life, and can't get motivated to achieve any goal that she does have. She is in need of my life coaching and is now my project. Her life is now mine. Which is great as I needed a project in my life after my recent commitment to not dating ever again (12 days and counting) which has left a little void that needs filling. I'm going to get her motivated, determined, and help her the body she wants in time for her holiday to Ibiza in August. I'm not entirely sure that a real and qualified life coach would phrase it as 'her life is now mine', but Vikki's not paying me for my services so she can't expect exactly the same treatment as she'd get from a professional service. Anyway, her goal is now my goal, because her failing will also be my failing, so she had better be ready to put the effort in otherwise I'm going to have to beat her with a stick.

That is all.

One year in...

So it's been a year since the start of my blog. 2000 views isn't bad I don't think, and I've managed to knock out 29 posts ranging from utter nonsense and pointless, to a little bit deeper, and all that's in between. I think the biggest surprise is that I've managed to maintain it all. Usually these things are a bit of a fad for me and it takes very little time for me to get bored and moved on. I'm glad I've stuck with it though, it's nice to look back and see what was going on in my head, however random it may have been. It's a little weird that I'm using the anniversary of a blog to reflect on my last year rather than New Years, but you know, it's nice to mix things up a little bit.

I'm not sure if I can say the past year has been that eventful, I mean a lot of stuff has happened, both good and bad, but not really any of that life-changing stuff. For the want of a better word it's been a 'nice' year. I've had some amazing laughs and good memories, I feel like I've grown a bit as a person (yes, that does sound like cliched nonsense...), I've started to get my finances in order, my career is going well, and I think I'm in a good stage of my life. Who knows what the next year will have in store for me. I've got a good feeling that this year I'm going to fulfil a lot of the things I've been wanting to fulfil, and I've recently decided that there is no man that truly deserves me and therefore I will never date or have another relationship again. Let's see how that's worked out a year from now...

That is all.
