Can you believe it!? I have been writing this blog for a year now. A whole year!
Once I'd calmed down from the giddy excitement of having spent more time writing to you than my own mother, i reflected on the past year and reflected on the notion that with every year that passes i become a year older.
I think as you gets older you can't help but look back over your life. You can't help but think of missed opportunities. When someone asks, 'If you could live your life over again would you change anything?' you'll always get someone who say:
'Oh no I'm perfectly happy with my life, i wouldn't change a thing. I'm happy that I'm a office temp with a string of failed relationships, a Volvo and only a cat to keep me company. I wouldn't change a thing.'Well to that i say bollocks!
Of course, it is easy for me to say this since my life is so chock full of experiences and achievements. If i could live my life over again i wouldn't change a thing ... Except maybe i wouldn't have rented the DVD of '27 Dresses'. Yep, if i had my life to live over again i wouldn't change a single thing, except I'd have punched Noel Edmonds in the face that time i saw him in the street. If i had my life to live over again i wouldn't let that girl do that thing she did to me that time. If i had my life to live over again, I'd learn to play the piano, I'd go to evening classes, I'd learn a martial art. If i had my life to live over again I'd get a dog, then i wouldn't get a dog, then I'd get a dog again. If i had my life to live over again I'd paint myself in green and wear a feather bower and dance around Trafalgar square on New Years Eve ... no wait, i did that one. If i had my life to live over again, I'd have more sex in different places, and this time I'd do it with a partner. If i had my life to live over again, I'd take time out to smell the flowers, appreciate nature and tell my friends and family just how much they mean to me. If i had my life to live over again, I defiantly, defiantly wouldn't spent my life in regret, wondering what I'd do if i had my life to live over again.
The weather here is 11*C and cloudy. My train was on time and a first class stamp now costs 60p.
Take care buddy,
Yours,
Dave
