OK, so I was meant to post this last night but I ran into trouble with the Palm Browser. So if you read this, assume it was meant for Jan 1st…
So we’re into 2004 and it’s time for the first of the year’s apologies. You are all right in claiming that I am a lameass for not posting sooner but, to be fair, there are extenuating circumstances.
The first and easily most important of these is what I have been up to for the past few weeks. I have to say it feels like months have passed filled with nothing but partying, drinking and being merry (very merry in some instances). I am currently sat in my drab little room in the hotel opposite Birmingham Intl Airport working on the NoveuPortaBlog … and I have to say I am filled with melencholy … or it might be beer … this place has a bar that’s open 24 hours! I could wake up at half four and decide I want a drink. As it is I’m waking up at half four to catch my plane … eugh.
So this time of years always gets to me or, to be more accurate, has gotten to me for the past two or three years. My main problem with it is loneliness. It’s the classic example of being in a room (or party) full of people and still being alone. I have had no-one special to share New Years with for longer than I care to remember.
OK so that’s also not totally correct, all of the people I share it with are special, good friends the lot of them, but I’m talking about someone really special. Call them what you will, partner, other half or “signifigant other”, I really do feel the lack of that kind of person at this time of year… I’m wishing in the next 366 days knowing that at the end of the night I’ll go home and spend the dawning minutes of the year with no-one but myself for company.
but it will pass, it always has and I don’t want you to think I’m a miserable bastard or one of these bloggers who constantly whines on about their lack of gf / bf. Just remeber, that if you do have someone in your life who lights up a room simply by being in it, that you are amongst the lucky ones. Never take it for granted and do your best to make that person feel as special as they evidently are … I mean they’re putting up with you after all 
Happy New Year everyone, and all the best for 2004, whatever it brings
