So another year has passed, another prediction of doom for the world has passed, what will the new year bring. Surely there's a doom and gloom prediction somewhere for a year that has the number 13 in it. Maybe I'll start my own cult, The World Will End Because This Year Has A 13 In It cult. Not very catchy I know but none of the others have really had catchy titles either. Can't even make an interesting word out of the letters TWWEBTYHA13II, makes no sense, oh but wait a minute neither have any of the others. So my logic has survived the passing of another year, woohoo go logic.
So what happened in 2012, I remember voting sometime, maybe twice. It's a blur I hate voting so I try to forget it. I was presented with 3 new wonderful granddaughters, yep 3 in one year, awesome stuff, thank you to my beautiful girls. Of course there's always the chance there was another grandchild born but my son isn't talking LOL.
I got another year older, funny how that seems to happen every year. I gained weight again not a real surprise, I discovered more hair where no hair grew before, I lost more brain cells, I lost my train of thought and ...... sorry lost my train of thought for a minute there, I'm positive more socks were again lost and I lost more of my youth (not that there was much left there). I remember when I was a kid and thinking that the year 2000 was something a long time in the future, here we are 2013 and 2000 is a long time in the past. There has been a lot of good years in between being a kid and turning 53 (note I didn't say becoming an adult, that's what my parents are not me) and there's been a lot of bad years (miss you everyday babe). But every single one of those years has gotten me to where I am today. I think less and less about what I could of changed, and what I should of changed. Sure there will always be regrets, but that's a part of what life is all about. If we didn't regret certain actions or the paths our lives took, we wouldn't be human. Hey just had a thought, maybe 2013 will be the year the aliens land and we won't turn out to be human after all, maybe we are all really aliens and the mother ship will come to take us home.
Sorry thoughts wandering around yet again, there's something that hasn't changed. Something else that won't change is except for the occasional mention of politics or religion, I won't be telling you how to vote, or airing my political views, nor will I preach to you or try to turn you onto my views (something I wish a lot of people on Facebook would stop doing). Your politics are your business, but if you think one party or politician is telling the truth then your insane. If you are religious or have a certain religion that may be different to the norm, fine, I hope your happy with it, but please don't clutter up my life with your views or try to change mine. I'm quite happy in my little world and don't need your opinions thrown at me as you try to turn me. I'm 53 I will not be turned LOL.
I still won't believe the movie critics when they tell me not to watch certain movies because they are rubbish, instead I will watch them and form my own opinions, if I'm entertained and don't fall asleep then it's a good movie and I'll recommend it to anyone who likes the same sort of movies as me. Same with TV shows, I've made recommendations to others, but only those who I seriously think would enjoy it. I do not like romance, never have, doesn't mean I can't sit and watch a romantic comedy and be entertained. I love car chases and violence, doesn't have to have a script that makes sense, doesn't even have to have brilliant actors, I just want to be entertained. And after I've watched it, I'm not going to go out and get into a car chase or get violent, it's just a movie or TV show, I know it's not reality. I'm not going to believe that playing a video game or watching violent movies or listening to heavy music can make someone get a gun and commit murder, because I've done all those things and I haven't killed anyone yet. I still watch the violence and still listen to the music, and neither one of them motivate me to go out and shoot innocent people. I'm entertained and then I get on with something else.
I will never get over the ease with which people sue for millions of dollars. I can understand it in certain cases, such as someone needing life long medical care for someone elses carelessness. But if I see a puddle on a floor, I avoid it. I don't dive off rock ledges without checking the water beforehand for logs rocks or depth, it's just logical. I'm not going to blame the makers of video games, music or movies for any of my problems, or for the actions of others. I could say these are New Years resolutions but they are just the same beliefs I've always had. Sorry, again my thoughts wandered after typing something LOL.
I better sign off before I start ranting and waving some protest signs around.
Happy New Year to you all, and my your new year be a happy and safe one for you and yours.
