Happy New Year "Anyone"

To celebrate the New Year I have enabled the feature "anyone" can comment. That is, you can comment anonymously. I didn't realise that this may have been inhibiting freedom of commentary until Homeperm alerted to me to this fact. So, "suck it up" as Strongerlight has advised me and comment! I helps me know that I have a readership out there.

Well, 2008 is here at last. It promises to be a great year. Last night I watched the moon set at Hikoi over Kapiti. I also had the delightful experiecne of enjoying a Morgue organised event. That man Morgue knows how to get the people and the sounds together. DV3 and the Scotsman provided superb sound grooves. Even though I never danced, I did enjoy the music. It was also nice to be invited into the wider Morgue clan. There were fireworks and converstaions with people who know how to catch paua. It was nice to share the end of the 2007 and the begining of 2008 with such good company. I'm still adjusting to that moment when you meet someone from the blog community in real life. But thats I first met Morgue! Oh, its was a tough call between the Nash lady and the great downward sand dune race - but I thing the sand dune race won for highlight of the last day or so. It reminds me that its the free simple pleasures and the ability to play as adults that remains important - and sharing friendship.

So, I've decided it would be good to list eight things that I will do (or not do) in 2008 - eight coming from the 2008. Here they are not necessarily in sequentila order, but eight things I will be able to place on the 100 things I need to do before I die. Eight seems doable. SO, here I go:


1. Learn to scuba dive so I can catch crayfish and paua.
2. Get fit and loose weight.
3. Resume boxing.
4. Wear a size 14 black dress.
5. Go for a Hot air balloon ride.
6. Allow myself to get in a loving relationship
7. Increase my annual salary by at least $15,000 within the next 12 months
8. Read 15 books and write at least 500 words per day.

There you go. I will achieve that list of eight by 31 December 2008. This will mean significant change in my life of proportions I have not achieved for some time. But I've decided its time for this amount of change.

Here we go......Happy New Year. Let's enjoy the year. It will be awesome, energising and invigorating.
