i know the subject always seems to come up around this time of year

anyway jokes aside,anyone got any new ambitions or any habits to break for 2009?

i'll start: i wanna limit gigs to 3 a month max due to funds.bloody credit cUNTch:just found out my £25 a month bonus is no more
so now i get £450 a month(for 2days a week)
£240 goes straight to parents.plus mobile top up £20 a month+bus fares to work.im usually left with £150.(£37.50 a week).
gotta make it stretch.

also i wanna get into a routine on the days im not working/at gigs.

look at my post time,bloody 2.33 am!!!! in the morning.im ending up nocturnal and out of sync/lazy.

heres my ideal routine:
i wanna wake up at 10.30am at the latest.bath,then eat by 1130.
then from 12 till 2.30pm i want to either paint warhammer models(since ive only done 12 in a whole year and need to get my arse in gear and do maybe 2/3 a week)OR play my ps1/snes RPG's.
then chill for 30mins either online/watch t.v.
from 3.00pm till 5.30 i want to do either paint/gaming.(depending which one i started with.)
from 6pm watch dvds till 8.
then from 8-11 chill in living room with family watching t.v or going online.
i want to get in bed by 11pm as ive spent too many nights(including this one)going to bed at 3-4ish.
come mon/tue i find it twice as hard to get through 2days work i was probably less tired when i was doing 5days a week.

which leads to my next resolution.at least on friday do 1 or 2 hours exercise whether it be going for a walk or just a stretch out in the garden for an hour or so.nothing over the top.
i noticed a little bit of flab on my neck in the wonder rage pic with Plodman .

anyway thats my ideas,whether i stick to it or not is an entirely different matter
youll soon know if ive stuck to it as youll only have to look at my post times or check to see if my neck has shrunk at the next gig

also the toxic tapes dvd inspired me to have a go at film/dvd making.i plan on covering 3 top bands(no guessing)for a freebie dvd release midway through the year.
im not tryna copy toxic tapes as thats truly a one of kind piece of genius from Lewis.(i look forward to part 2).
if anything Lewis has opened up a gate for ideas and creativity and shown just how the d.i.y. approach can be achieved.
but yeah,im gonna contribute/give something back/get something out there too.

I think we've already made some pretty good suggestions as a group regarding spreading UK Thrash far and wide! Personally speaking, I don't tend to decide on any "I will/wont do this for the whole year" things, but there are plenty of things I'd like to do better than 2008 - I have lived a bit like Gollum for the last few months in my cave of a bedroom, so I would like to get out more, do more things, meet people (females?!?!) and generally decide the direction of my life! Plus get drunk in some fields with a bunch of hairy greebos, how's that for a resolution.

calling us greebos.... that's terrible....

also i am giving up smoking

I want to wank 30% more than I do at the moment.

I gave up smoking about 2 weeks ago an have not had one since. Gah. I used to smoke about 20-30 rollies a day and I STILL crave them so hard. So my new years resolution is to continue being amazing.

To get to more good gigs and UK Thrash gigs....funded by a real job

Depending on what my time table is like next term start the gym there (as it cost nothing after you join).
Then theres the fact i want to do a lot more guitar-wise and achieve something there.

Its nice to know the tape has inspired you Rik, if you need any help/tips for editing etc just give me a shout.

- Release a cd
- Finally become a nurse sometime this year
- Whilst not a resolution, its one of the few things that keeps me happy travel
- Get fit again, I have been so lazy since I left the police
- Maybe put one big show on at a proper venue.

Loose some weight
Record a Demo

If I do one it will be a very productive year

- Buy a PS3 with MGS4
- Buy the Sopranos box set
- Get Anchorman on DVD
- Have sex

Ha ha!

- FINALLY finish uni.
- Get a job.
- Buy a lovely new guitar.
- Get into shape
- Record an album (fingers crossed)

Shit, I better start saving some money then...

I intend to have loads of sex this next year - I've even prepared a scouser girlfriend ready for such events.
