Lotsa words, Thoughts spurred - Year end's turd.

Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
Nobody's lucky till love comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone. -Eric Clapton, It's in the way that you use it.

It is the year 2006. Time flies. Time flutters!! Where have all those precious moments gone? It is time I burst out in to rhyme & song. I feel like a friggin' oompah loompah....

Yet another chapter, yet another page
Yet another string of words to get me through my age...
When will youth and funk,
Randomness and spunk,
Be replaced by dull routine
And anti-wrinkle cream?

This year. Shall be THE year. (As was last year)
I shall learn many new things.
I shall embrace my last year at uni.
I shall remember to drink my cup of coffee before lectures.

I want to prance and dance down George Street, Sydney
In my PJ's and a sash
Singing '~My name is Lola...I was a showgirl...~''
And having such a bash.

I shall be more organised.... REALLY.

So.... Lin, What have you learnt from 2005?
1. Where all the shit goes after we flush the toilet.
2. Pair of Jacks always lose.
3. How to shut up. It is seriously, an underrated skill. It's amazing how much more you learn, how much you observe and how much more you're respected when you just listen and soak.....
4. Luck comes hand in hand with optimism.
5. Love is a many splendoured thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love! ( sorry, couldn't resist... :D )
6. Photography can help one with the process of convincing oneself that their life is more brilliant, more perfect, than it really is. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Photo album after photo album of smiles, special events and holidays. The rest is conveniently forgotten. I guess it helps with preserving the general happiness of people and their contentment with their current lives.
7. From the words of a master, 'All we are saying is give peace a chance.'
8. A friend scoffed at me the other day and said, what's another year?
Yes years are just made up time frames. But thank goodness for them, else I wouldn't be pressured in to reflecting upon my 365 days gone by. And 'final year at uni' wouldn't be such a big deal. It would just be 'a little more studying before I'm finally done.' I like the time system. It works. Otherwise it would just be ... *singing* sunrise.... sunset..... sunrise......sunset. ;)

23! What a brilliant age to be at. I'm gonna make it count. Gonna make it last...
Coz I get by with a little help from my friends,
yeah...I get high with a little help from my friends,
yeah...gonna try, with a little help from my friends...
