What are you looking forward to this year?

With all the negativity surrounding a lot of this months posts, and the foreboding sense of dread attaching itself to all and sundry on being in this, the year of our supposing imminent doom, what are some of the non-boxing events you are looking forward to this year?

Personal, professional or just fun stuff you want to get round to doing.

I am looking forward to celebrating my daughters 21st birthday on Tuesday and my grandson's first birthday later in the year. I am also looking forward to visiting an old friend in Barcelona in February with her indoors for her birthday.

If I have the time and money I will be trying to catch Hockney at the Royal Academy, Lucian Freud at the National Portrait Gallery and Damien Hirst's full career retrospective at the Tate Modern.

:bounce:

No too much work.

Mates 50 th @ end of month down the coast in the country on some big acres, big sheds, many bands will be there,be like the old days,we'll drive and stay in the Van probably keep going after and end somewhere.

Maybe go for a few weeks down to Tasmania and stay in the Van and surf around that Island, visit some friends too.

Maybe a week in the Maldives.:-\

Hopefully getting into grad school and moving for the 2nd time in a year :p

Careful in Penang mate,keep hands in pockets,to stop stuff leaving and getting placed. I got arrested there once in the middle of lower down town in the 80's for suspicion of heroin trafficking, wasn't a pleasant day.

Brockton is the Universes counterweight measure for Miles being on the other side of the planet also teaching English.

Yea I guess ya need that counter balance !

Thanks mate, should be interesting to say the least! Finished all the glossing of the bedroom at the weekend and got the new carpet fitted yesterday in the baby's room, so it's becoming more realistic now, plus her bump is getting alot bigger by the day !

I'm looking forward to just keeping good routines and keeping my mind and body in more fertile fettle. I've been walking around the lake every morning and then getting down to some devilish language study followed by a few good hours of reading in the afternoons. After an early dinner I then watch a film or listen to an album or play on my Playstation. It is an unhurried life and I feel chilled out. I'm looking forward to keeping my routines above all. It might sound boring to some, but I need focus as I can be easily distracted.

In terms of events, like Master, I will be looking forward to the summers football and Olympics. But also all the usual events such as the tennis majors, Liverpool fighting for their Euro spot, whatever boxing is thrown our way, all the usual.

Hopefully 2012 will throw a few decent albums my way too.

I am the Weıghts & Measures Vızıer who thrackets and crimps
the whack-jobs and the pimps
who blow theır frıkkın trumpets
whılst sıppıng tea and chompıng crumpets;

The Great Treasures are found
precisely where Lyle abounds---
Quinkly Quine, the clock strikes 9
then the Thracket bristlingly starts to whine:

"An ace in the hole was certain!
but now I'm faced with Holy Curtains!"

Brock, kudo's for trying but your poems are constructed incorrectly.

If it's a 4 line verse then ideally the 1st and 3rd line should rhyme, in turn so does the 2nd and 4th. Repeat and rinse. ;)

This will offer a greater flow to the poem and read alot deal better for the end user.

well thanks for that advıce, but thats the beauty of free verse or freedom ıf you lıke---you can say or wrıte whatever and however you want. I try not to be too restrıctıve whılst freely expressıng myself. Dont box yourself ın to a set formula. :)

Get better,
