Laters 2007

Juicelog Sun 301207: It’s that time in the Juicelog where I think it would be only polite and gentlemanly of me to let you know how it went down this year.

In the space of the last 364 days I have celebrated twenty bidet celebrations, danced at five street parties, viewed nine plays and watched three Gina overdoses. Delving into a slightly different class of arts I enjoyed my first opera and my first ballet. It was also my first DIY success and first paintball experience.

The combination of going away with some of my closest and endearing friends to a hot island and an exciting city were definite highpoints. Like any equilibrium, a few millilitres of sunshine will always be counteracted by a suffocating measure of rain. And boy oh boy, it sure did pour down this year. Mind you, without the rain we wouldn’t have had a wet hot tub party, a drenched Londres pride and muddy outdoor festivals.

A couple of weeks ago, the unexpected death of a work colleague slightly shook me up. We weren’t the closest of friends but over the last five years I really warmed to her unconventional approach to relationship forming and amusing anecdotes. Irrespective of my spiritual belief in the concept of the afterlife, I hope that she remembers me (RIP Mo).

At the end of last year, I decided to take a more pro-active approach to maximising my social life which has really paid off and given me a real sense of fulfilment. I also opened up my mind to the possibility of doing that relationship thing again (should the opportunity have arisen). Not expecting anything to happen at all, I was somewhat tranquilised by the heavily toxic Pudz dart and am hobbling along in this superbly amorous state.

Winding up the last few remaining hours of my vibrant and lively 2007, I wanted to thank all of you who have tuned in over the past 12 months. And more importantly those who still continue to engage me and inspire me. Occasionally I check my visitor numbers and I am curious to the identity of my readers. If you’re feeling brave, please leave your name and message in the comments section below.

Here’s me dusting off a memorable 2007. Rock on 2008!
