    I don't even remember what I said I was gonna do.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Well, my resolutions were loose but basically it was just to keep up with the gym three-four times a week and keep with a healthier diet, as well as pick up more client work or find some direction in life. Which is what I've been able to do; going to go for a Masters of Business Administration to get my life back on track, and picked up a nice paying project until that starts.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    I made 2 and I think I'm doing ok on at least one of them:

    1) I made a resolution to get my ass back in to shape and tone up some. I've got a deadline so to speak for a relatively good progress which is I need to be sorted out in regards to being some of the way towards my goals by May so that I can look great when I go over to Stockholm (intending to go there for a brief holiday) To this end I have; joined a gym and begun lifting weights whilst also putting in the cardio effort. Dropped the junk food and instead replaced my diet with a much healthier one, primarily my meals consist of chicken, rice and veg or chicken and veg or some sort of combination involving chicken and veg. I've cut out nearly all bread and nearly all my junk food. I have the odd relapse on to somethings on cheat days but it's ok. So far the guys at work who see me daily are noticing that there's been some changes to my physique. If I can keep this up and actually give up my cheat days (eventually this will become a goal) I will be fine. The fact that I am having to live very cheap is actually helping here. I love working out down the gym and if I can I go every day.

    2) I promised to get a new job because I feel like I'm standing on the deck of the Titanic at work atm. Well this is going along. It's not great though, I could definitely put a few more hours a week in to this, though frankly my days off consist of me doing my chores and going gym it's almost like my first resolution is blocking my second one. However, the Titanic has somewhat leveled out, she's still in trouble but it may be ok. We had some good news and bad news, the good news is that my job at least is secure for another year or two. The bad news is that my contract is changing slightly and so I will actually earn a sizable chunk less in the midst of rising cost of living. Whilst I'm doing all I can to work out ways of making that money stretch (I've given up drink, focusing on my gym workouts which cost me nothing more than the £17 a month gym membership etc etc) it's still quite clear I would be better off working a more local job to home and having just a monthly bus pass (though this would involve seeing family less as at the moment if I get off the tube in East Finchley or Camden Town I can go see my family for no more than my journey to work and back each month) I'm still looking for a job but I'm more amenable to the idea of working Central London if the money is right.

    I made a resolution not to make a resolution, and I'll be damned if I didn't instantly break it. Sigh...

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    Wait a second, you people are serious? It's a new year already?
    My actual resolution was moving out of this city by the end of the year.
