Well hello there. This is in fact my first blog of 2012. I must say that my output recently has been hampered somewhat by a combination of laziness and life getting in the way. But enough! I must just continue to update you with my musings before I go insane.
So, February is nearly over huh? It's been quite a dull few months for me really. Apart from a recent skiing trip that didn't quite go to plan. Let me explain.
As I hadn't been skiing before, I thought it would be prudent to have some lessons, so in earnest I booked a days worth of lessons at a local dry slope. Awesome I thought. I'll just get the basics and go from there when I get onto some real snow. Problem was that about an hour into the days worth of lesson, I fell awkwardly and busted my ribs. Bruised I thought. Not a problem, it'll heal before we go. We were flying out to the Alps a week later so I thought it would be ok.
The long and short of it was that I had actually broken my ribs and therefore the first day skiing was indeed the last, and also the 'day' was in fact more like 20 mins. My chest was killing me. On my return to the UK I visited our lovely NHS services in A&E to find out if I had actually punctured my lung...
Snare is not fighting fit as he writes this (as you can tell by the third person reference)
So although I had a wonderful time relaxing and getting some much needed respite from work, I had to deal with an injury. It wouldn't be so bad, but a lot of my time is spent doing quite physical things. Because of my rib, I have to give it a break from going to the gym, training of any sort, and sadly no drumming for at least a month. *sad face*
But perhaps I need this to reaffirm my goals for 2012. I've only just realised that I don't have any... 2010 was simple, I was making a video every day. This year though, I need to put right the lack of video content I'm currently producing. I need to work out what's right for me this year, which includes a total view of work, pleasure, aims and ambitions.
I've discovered that I get quite down when I don't have something to aim for, something to work towards. I blame my work a lot for this, as it is quite often unpredictable and means late evening and weekends are taken up by work rather than doing things that make me feel like I matter... I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it's a rut that I need to break out from.
So what will you see from me in the coming weeks then? Who knows. I expect at least one video, maybe two. Also, I want to write again reflecting on this blog to see how things have changed. Whatever happens, I have every intention to make a change.
Hope you are still reading, and I hope to see you again soon.
Peace,
Snare.
