It's Been a While

It has been ages since I last submitted a new post to my blog, and for good reason as nothing that exciting has been going on of late. That, however, will hopefully soon change as a new year comes along. I'm not usually one to give much notice of a change in date or the significance of that date, but this year I know things are going to change because I'm going to make the effort to change them. 

Change doesn't happen on it's own, through some divine intervention or by chance! Change happens when an individual puts his mind towards something and strives to achieve that goal he or she sets!

I know that it seems that I'm coming along all philosophical and holier than thou, and all that crap, but I believe that the internet is a place where people can vent, share their views, and just talk rubbish in general. One case in point is the press. Every time I access a local news site to take a look at what is going on in my country and around the world, all I hear about are stories of murder, violence, theft and, worst of all, politics. 2012, in fact, has been the most unbearable year for anybody who has no interest in politics or is even sickened by the thought of conversing about politics. An election is coming up in March 2013 and this election has been a long time coming as 2012 has been an entire year of the two main political parties campaigning. The sheer amount of billboards, junkmail and TV adverts we have been forced to see and watch has been ridiculous. It has almost pushed me not to cast my vote when election day comes around. The only reason I will cast my vote is that I know it is my civic duty and before I do cast my vote I will be sure to gather all the information I would need to make the right choice. However,I would very much like to do this on my own and in my own time, and not having it shoved down my throat by politicians.

Enough about politics, as I wouldn't want to bore you, even though I fear that I might have already done that.

On a lighter note, the weather has been beautiful here and due to the festive season, all friends living abroad have come back home for a short while so that we could all catch up on old times as well as new. Lots of food has been eaten and copious amounts of alcohol have been drunk at the large number of parties that have been organised across the island. All in all, it's been a fun one and I can't really complain about recent and current happenings.

I will now love you and leave you, as it's time for another Friday night full of jokes and beer with the guys, and maybe some girls.

Until my next post....Caw Gadajs!
