HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well, ok so I’m a bit late. But what the hey, it’s that time of the year.
In my last post for 2011 I reflected on the year that was. I think it only fitting to start off 2012 by looking forward.
What does 2012 have in store for me?
1. The end of the world. If you believe the Mayans. Have they ever been wrong? It’s a bit of a bleak way to start the year – thinking the world’s going to end (we all remember how depressing 1999 was). But, if the world really is going to end then I better make the most of the time I have. So this year is going to be positive!
2. Self-publishing. If I ever finally get around to finishing the final edit of my book, I am going to self-publish. I have already started making inquiries into self-publishing and into stores that may be interested in stocking my book. This year I’m finally going to make my dreams of writing come true. Five-year-old Sam, I’m gonna make you proud!
3. Travel. Hooray! I love travelling. Sri Lanka at the end of the year for a traditional Sanskrit wedding. Wales in July hopefully, if I can talk my parents into it.
4. The London Olympics! Yay! I love the Olympics. Well… to be honest I only ever watch the swimming. I tend to lose interest after that.
I have a few other little goals for this year, but I won’t bore you all with the details. Rather, in the spirit of the Mayans I would like to make my own predictions for 2012.
1. The Olympic torch will be kidnapped while travelling through Asia to further North Korea’s nuclear armaments project in order to fend off the Tibetans. Exiled from his home, the Dalai Lama will use the current confusion in the region after the death of Kim Jong Il to initiate a hostile takeover of North Korea. He will then set himself up as Supreme Lama where he will teach Buddhism and also guard the sheep.
2. Disgraced Italian Prime Minister Silvio Burlusconi will return to the public eye with his one man portrayal of that classic of the silver screen, ‘The Full Monty’.
3. The antichrist will arise to cover all corners of the globe with terror and to plague mankind, and will be surprised to find that Rupert Murdoch beat him to it.
4. The apocalypse will come just in time to save us all from spending all our money on Christmas presents, but will be unable to prevent the release of ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’.
5. An in depth documentary will reveal that Kim Kardashian is actually Paris Hilton trying to reinvent herself and failing miserably.
That’s as much as my inner eye can see at the moment. Not quite Nostradamus but still. I’ll be worried if any of them actually come true.
