12:12 AM, Somewhere... A Clock Is Ticking...
Thursday, December 11, 2008

The lightbulb in my room is supposed to last 5 years. That's a long time isn't it? Nope. Not when you realise that you'll probably only be changing it another 10 more times before you're dead.

That's not a very long time...

And when you waste or spend, I leave it up to you, 20 years of your life in the paper chase and another 2 in the military... You don't have a lot of it left.

Then you get a job, then a career. Then how many years left?

Not very many...

What's a career when you don't have friends? What's a being able to square route a triangle when a gun is pointed at your head? Not very much.

So don't waste what time you have sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth!

Go out. Go Skate. Play guitar. Play bass. Read a book. Paint a picture. Throw a party.

The clock is ticking!

Now when I realise this there is a lot I want to do. I probably won't get a chance to do all of this but I can try.

  • Eurotrip.
  • Skydiving.
  • Play musical instrument competently and join a band.
  • Scale Kilimanjaro and then reach Base Camp 1 of Mount Everest.
  • Buy a house.
  • Own a car.
  • Own a bike (Ducati).
  • Snowboard.
  • Spray paint a wall in Haji Lane. (I've written "Peace" on the Peace Wall in Ireland, but that doesn't really count...)
  • Have a pint in a smoky, damp, dark Irish Pub. (I was underage when I was there.)
  • Go on an expedition with the Singapore Paranormal Investigators in Malaysia to find the Malaysian Bigfoot.
  • Win a photography competition.
  • Assemble a working computer.
So, what do you want to do?
