Sleepless

It is 5 in the morning. I have not slept at all. I seem to have this problem nowadays. I've actually got to meet someone on the othet side of town at 11, meaning I'd have to get up at 9.30 at most. Bloody tall order.

I don't know why I stayed up this late. Well, I know why: I've friends on the other side of the world that I regularly talk to every night, which makes my sleeping schedule a mess. The question is, once I get my head down to sleep, I can't. I cannot fall asleep, at least easily. I know I'm very tired, and I'vs caught myself yawning a few times, but I can't get myself to sleep.

I don't know whether it's something on my mind, or whether I'm always ended up having weird dreams, I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it's been plaguing me. Now I know what the citizens of Dawnstar are feeling.

Out With the Old... And in With the New

Okay, first off I'd like to say, Happy belated New Years to everyone! Hope 2015 is going to treat you well!

2015, that is the sole reason for this post today. The entire reason why I bothered to open a tab on my web browser, and start to write something, be it something substantial or not. Anyways, let's not dilly-dally any longer and let's get down to business, shall we?

Of course, most people make New Year's Resolutions, because this seem to be the time to make such vague promises that you will end up forgetting come Valentine's Day. I, for one, do not make resolutions. I don't see the point in them, at all. You will buy that gym membership on the first day it opens, then go and work out for a week straight, and afterwards you just lie around at home because you feel fatigued and lazy, and as it turns out, it's a lot more fun to just sit on the couch and watch the telly all day. Bam, another resolution failed.

I, for one, set myself goals, not resolutions. Instead of promising myself to do things that I will only do for a week or two, I set myself targets for the upcoming years. Usually it's something vague like 'Be a better person'. That way, when I look back at the next New Year's Day, I can judge myself whether I've actually become a better person or not. This year is no different.

This year, my goals are simple. I just wanted to get my music career going. I've realized that I would be 20 this year, thus I will no longer be a 'teenager'. Therefore, I would love to be able to do something productive. I've always wanted to be involved in the music industry, no matter how small. I've did some recordings here and there, and I've had the odd band or two, but nothing concrete so far. I wanted 2015 to be the year I've actually kick-started my career, to get people to listen to my music and actually play a few shows on a 'professional' level, and not just handing out demo tapes to my friends.

It does sound vague and farfetched, but nothing is impossible, if you set your mind to it. I've leapt past many hurdles in my life to get to where I am at right now, and I will have no problems leaping one more.

To conclude, I would just like to say a few words. Here's to another year of rocking and not sleeping on the floor, pissed drunk. Cheers.
