Its January People.

Having read Floop's 'post new-year's lull' post and chatting to a few people, I have decided to chuck a few thoughts out there onto the good ol'double-yew double-yew double-yew dot etc. So here you go:

January is a bit of shitty month. The weather is pretty crappy. No one has got any money because they spent it all on Christmas presents / festivities / piss ups. The summer still feels like a life time ago and a life time away. The only thing to look forward to on the horizon is pancake day and to be fair that's not quite as exciting as it once was (but then again, is anything?) .

However. I'm not feeling too bad. I mean sure, I've got no money and the weather is pretty crap (although not as bad as it could be) and I speak to my friend in Australia and its hot and sunny there and I'm jealous, BUT hey, I don't know. January is just that month you've got to get through every year. Once its over February is pretty short, then you've got March which is when the clocks go forward (my third favourite day of the year) then it starts getting brighter and warmer.

Its grit your teeth, put your head down and just make it up as you go along time. So that’s what you've got to do.

The End.

Matt.

P.S. I seem to keep writing these post where I have really no idea what i'm gonna say until my fingers hit the keys. Its a strange one. I'll let you decide if this post makes sense, cos I can't be bothered to read it back through.

Drinking

I think I may have drunk too much last night. Its blatantly Floop's fault. He just reminded me that we had two tequila slammers last night, which were his idea. So you see its all his fault. Or something. Then of course he didn't come back to mine after the gig with the others so I just HAD to drink nearly a whole bottle of red wine on my own.

I am at his and El's house right now drinking coffee and playing on El's composter. El's having a bath and Floop's rapping. Or more accurately wrapping. Well he will be when he can find the wrapping paper.

I've been thinking recently about drinking in general and specifically how much I am drinking these days. I had two weeks off over the Christmas period, and I spent much of it drunk or drinking. The amount of money I have spent in bars over the last few weeks can be seen using my bank balance which is a large number with minus sign in front of it.

Now I can be secure in the knowledge that I am not drinking as much as I did when I worked full time in a pub, but I was only 21 then, and really, shouldn't I have moved on from there by now? I vaguely remember feeling a bit like this, this time last year, and I'm sure as things settle down now I will drink less and less until I get to the point where I really want to go out and get smashed cos I haven't done it for so long.

But for now I am going to make a concerted effort to drink less and save money and do all the things you are supposed to do at this time of year like give up smoking and get more exercise n'shit. It probably wont work though.

Nevermind eh?

I was going to say something else, but I can't think what it was.

Think I'll just end mid sentence and ge
