In the end. When you get right down to it. Being as honest as I really can. Being right up front about it, laying it all on the table, no holds barred, just… putting it all out there… we’re all a bit shit aren’t we? Really. I mean, being honest and all. We’re just not… how shall we say it? Well, we’re just not up to snuff. Not performing like we should.
Now, now, now I’m not talking about you being too short or too white or too.. whatever. That’s not something you can control. And don’t think I’m having a go, far from it. If anyone is to blame it is me, not you.
No, I’m talking about the latest scores. We’ve all been just a little bit below par have we not? I am sure everyone is aware of the targets we set at the start of the year.
Didn’t we all promise to be better people? Lose weight? Learn a new language? Get that raise? Promotion? Wasn’t some mention made of making the world a better place?
No?
But we meant to, didn’t we? It’s on the way… okay, maybe it isn’t…
… but maybe that’s a good thing.
I wonder what the world would look like if we all managed to achieve our outlandish dreams?
Not entirely sure NASA has that much space in the capsules for all the would-be astronauts to be honest. I know that Jamie Dornan and Scarlett Johansson are time limited – there’s just no way they can have dinner with all of the people that would happily pay. So… good years are scarce. And yes, it’s been a while but just what would one good year, one really good year, look like exactly?
In your dreams mate… in your dreams.
But isn’t that the problem?
Aren’t we all just looking a little bit beyond the horizon?
I mean, I have just had a great week. The first really good week of 2018 and I hope that I don’t live to regret this hubris but I have high hopes that 2018 will finally be a decent year. But it isn’t Kate Beckinsale… and it’s not going to be. I have had a good week because I did a music video with this 20 year old kid who is just brilliant. He grew up in care and he doesn’t have the same spoiled outlook that other kids have. I might be able to put a link to his video later but I love his attitude. I also heard that Dave and me might get to go to a war zone and film some stuff happening to kids in the right here and right now. And that is painful, but brilliant. Yes, I will sign up for that.
Do I like what is happening? No. Do I like the fact that I am doing something.. anything, hell yeah.
Hmmm… this is strange and perhaps I am too fond of gin, but… if you ignore the noise, ignore the nonsense and just keep on trusting your values… maybe this could be a good year.
Unless you’re a *Trumpet in which case fuck off.
