The end of year journal entry burst part two
There it was. 2011 just went by.
It is strange to think of a year with such ups and downs. I feel kind of damaged by the experience but I also know that my daughter`s birth was one of those great moments in life that I will always cherish. To say a year was good or bad is very simplistic. Of course bad things happened but good things more than made up for it.
To end the year my wife and I watched a Will Ferrell movie called Everything Must Go. We enjoy Ferrell`s movies and were hoping to laugh together. A pleasant surprise was that the movie was funny but also moving and profoundly human. It kind of feels familiar to me. In the movie he is a man who has a lot going for him then one day finds his world turned upside down. Unlike his character though I had my wife to help me through the bad times this year.
Next year is looking like it will refuse to be predicted. Everything is so uncertain, so unpredictable. I have high hopes. My glass is half full. My wife is moving positively and I see waiters walking around us waiting to refill our half full glasses. i just wish I knew when they would get to us.
In other news I have been thinking more about making improvements to myself. I feel it is about time I did rather than just blogged about wanting to do. I know I just did it again too.
2012 will hopefully be a more spiritual year for our family. I hope to find some sort of resting place for us all. We are kind of lost at sea in some ways. The place we live does not feel like home to me. I hope this changes.
I slide between being nocturnal and being an early to bed kind of guy. By nature I stay up late and get up late but my job usually requires that I get up early so that gets me up early. Right now however I am off work so I am up late. It is weird because the house is quiet and so it is just my thoughts to keep me company. Lots of thoughts but no real point to them. Insomnia.
I have been reading Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. I loved the movie and have to say the book is awesome too. I got George Orwell "why I write" and Hunter S Thompson`s "The Rum Diary" for Christmas and I look forward to reading those. I am hit and miss when reading is concerned and perhaps that is a resolution I should make. I will read more. Shutter Island is a book I know I will finish. It is a real page turner for me which is odd really. So often books of movies I have seen bore me because I know what is going to happen already.
happy new year to everybody.
