So I failed. I am a big loser.
My resolution was to keep a blog for every day this year. But now I have left a gaping week-and-a-day long hole with no entries at all. What a cop-out! It is almost disrespectful, to you the reader of this stupid task - this stupid, now-unfulfilled task.
I suppose the only thing for me to do is pick up from here and try to turn over a new leaf. Maybe my un-blogged days will now just be a missing week which can only remain to be speculated about.
Yes - I rather like the sound of that! It’s almost good enough to justify my journal scribing laziness. It sounds full of mystique – a bit like John Lennon’s ‘lost weekend’ or something. Anything could have happened. For all anyone knows, perhaps my behaviour has been so debauched over the last 6 days, that I’d rather keep them hidden.
Thinking about it, whenever you hear about Lennon’s lost weekend, there is little more than scraps of vague, spindly accounts of a man falling off the rails, indulging in the excesses of booze, drugs and sexual promiscuity; and in a way, last week was a little like that for me too. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not comparing myself to John Lennon or anything. All I’m saying is that there were some genuine similarities to my own personal ‘lost week’.
There was certainly some boozing done. So what that our local drinking establishment is a village pub, and ensures a limited excess by ringing last orders at ten to eleven? In my mind this still technically counts as boozing.
There was also some drug taking. So what that these drugs were pro-biotic capsules, used to quell the storm of my irritable bowel? In my mind these still technically counts as druggings.
There was also sexual promiscuity in my lost week too. So what that this was all done in a forum of morose self- pleasure? Once again, in my mind it still technically counts.
So there you have it. I’ll leave it to the imagination of others to speculate what else I could have possibly been up to.
Let’s try and see this entry as a fresh start, eh? We’ll see how it goes from here.
