Life is like a box of chocolates...New Year Resolutions

Happy 2011. I can tell that 2011 and I are going to be friends. We made a pact before midnight. Now this is not to say that I don’t think we’ll have our glitches like most relationships do. But generally, we are bosom buddies.

What you are looking at here is a blog that will reflect a life that from now on will be lived in the moment. Not the past. Not the future. The right now. Because I am no longer going to try and figure out the answers to tomorrow or mourn the times gone by. I am simply going to wake up and figure out what I like about each moment of my day.

So today, I got the coach back to Paris. We don’t have the best relationship me and old gay Paris. But do you know what, I think even she looks better this year. I got helped by two men with my bags and they didn’t try and rape me. Granted one was Australian. And then the two sets of stairs where I had no help I didn’t even swear.

During the coach trip I took time to appreciate the flat, northern French countryside and found that despite it’s overall blandness I could find an animal that entertained, like the three perfectly still horses stood in a row by a fence. I assume, patiently waiting for something although it wasn’t clear what that might be. And then almost immediately I took great pleasure in the drama of multiple planes flying shockingly close together. At one point from my angle I really thought I was going to watch a crash. Now you’d think, this would elicit a reaction of horror. But oh no. I was genuinely willing them to get as close as possible. I wasn’t hoping they’d crash, well I was but I sort of forgot they were planes with people and seemed to think I was in some kind of innocent computer game. Maybe living in the moment is not so good for me after all? I never fantasised about plane crashes before.

I hate being lost. So 2011 is the year to embrace being totally and utterly lost. I am banned for searching for answers unless it’s to a quiz. Please keep an eye on me, I’m going to need help here.

So now, can anyone tell me where my apartment is? I seem to have misplaced it…
