2014 – The year of ‘I Don’t Know’

So, it’s 2014, and I’m trying to improve my communication skills, so here’s another new years resolution-o-rama! Happy fun times will be had by all...or all will die trying. ...or something in between, whatever... After a few years of naming my years, akin to the naming conventions of the Chinese calendar, this year, I’ve decided to go with another (possibly my last) name for the year – the year of I don’t know. “What does this mean?” I hear you ask (right after “Why should I care?” and “who the fuck are you, anyway?”). Maybe it has to do with my recent shedding of any sliver of religion I ever had and proclaimed myself an atheist and began my journey of acceptance that there are things that we just don’t know. Maybe it refers to the fact that I have no plans for this year, and am not sure where it will lead me during the tumultuous time that is my end-20s. Maybe I just found the title of a recent Adventure Time video game to be oddly fitting. Maybe it’s all of these. Maybe it’s none of these. Maybe it’s two and the third is filled with some sort of ice-cream filling...which is some metaphor for something and I didn’t just put it in there for the sake of it. ...yeah, I’m like glass... I’m glad that, unlike many people out there, despite not knowing where I’m going I’m feeling ok. Happy. Whatever the year may bring, I know there’s a decent chance that it won’t be my last, and that it will be another good one. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some stuff done – website, a job, I might even go back to Uni to do engineering, getting my eye looked at by an ophthalmologist, beefing up my car audio system – but who knows. My only resolution is to keep going, I guess. Find the good in things, learn to express myself better, learn to do more things for myself, and overall just enjoy myself as much as I can while getting the most out of life...or some shit like that. Or maybe just doing some of the things that I said I’d do, last new year. Or both. Or neither. Or.........I really have to get a handle on that... Also, still more adventure. HAPPY 2014.
