so, it was my birthday the other day. a friend of mine told me i should get a ps3 and rock band, apparently oblivious to the fact that i had just turned 37.
believe it or not, this made quite a difference. while pondering whether or not to get the ps3, i thought about my friends, and realised that most of them are happily married, have kids and dogs and are saving up for the next car. i figured it was time i stopped following my childish impulses, and changed my life.
coincidentally, a friend of mine had lent me paul mckenna's "i can change your life" a few months back, so i went looking for the book. i found it (yay delicious library!) and set it aside in order to return it to him, and made a mental note to never again ask him for books.
don't fret, i didn't run out and get a ps3, i'm better than that. i went to hmv, looked with disdain at the pile of ps3s and xbox 360s, and thought to myself "that part of my life is gone now, i'll be 40 in 3 years". instead, i took the money, thought about my friend
billy abbott and how he became a rock god, and got a wii, and guitar hero world tour. i am it.
