Bucket List: Karaoke

I've recently started compiling a bucket list. A list of all the things I've always wanted to do, but haven't gotten around to yet.

One of the items on the list is to sing karaoke.

Last night I went out with some friends to a karaoke night being held by a women's social group (a.k.a. a lesbian group).

I went there with no plans to sing, but later in the evening one of my friends jokingly said we should sing Salt-N-Pepa's - Push It. I jokingly said yes and the next thing I know she's submitted us and we're being called up on stage.

Once upon a time I would have ran for the hills, but with my new attitude to life I decided to embrace it and go for it.

Now we both admitted afterwards that our performance was pretty bad, but the crowd seemed to like it so we were pretty damn happy with ourselves thank you very much.

I had so much fun, I might just sing karaoke again....consider yourself warned!!

I'll Never Be....

I'll never be good enough, but it doesn't mean I'll stop trying....

My Heart....

The problem is convincing my heart to let go of the one that doesn't love it, with the hope of meeting the one that does.

Sunday: the Plan v The Reality

Sunday
The Plan:
Wake up early.
Go for a walk.
Sort through all the photo's on my laptop.

The Reality:
Wake up at 10am.
Surf the internet while watching tennis on TV.

2013 - My Year....

To say that the last 18 months have been pretty sucky is an understatement. My dad passed away towards the end of 2011 and my mum died last year.

The loss of my parents kicked off a chain reaction for me. I've re-evaluated my life and found that I wasn't living the life I wanted. I've made some huge life decisions and now find myself single and ready to live life to the fullest.

I'm going to start doing things I've always wanted to do, go places, experience things. Basically, I'm determined that this year is going to be my year.

To kick things off I'm going to start getting myself healthier. It's time to lose weight, get fitter and live a healthier, more active lifestyle.

So get ready 2013, here I come....

The F Word....

Well today I turn Forty. Yes, that's right, the big F word - 4 0.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't spent some time wallowing in that fact. I've sulked at the realisation that I've done nothing remarkable with my life so far.

When I was younger I had such grand plans, a huge list of things I was going to achieve. So far, there's hardly anything crossed off it.

Now don't get me wrong, my life is great. Like everyone I've had my tough times, but overall I've been very lucky. But it's time to get my butt off the couch and start living life.

So I figure it's time to do a new list, all the things I want to do. From the small, trivial things to the huge, world look at me things. I'm going to write them down and do them, not just cruise along as life passes me by like I have been.

While to me turning 40 isn't a big deal, it's just another age marked off on the calendar, it has given me a little kick along. The motivation to start living life to the fullest.

So look out world, I'm coming to get you....

Just Saying....Asshole

Just because you have an asshole, it doesn't mean you have to be one....

Sleep

I always have the best intentions of going to bed early, or at least at a half decent hour. But then something happens and it's midnight before I know it.

Basically, damn you books, movies, TV and the internet....

Just Saying....Heart

The choices your heart makes are the ones that hurt the most....

Don't judge a book by it's cover

I'm not the pretty one.

I'm not the popular one, the sexy one.

But don't judge me by the way that I look.

Because....

I'm the smart one.

I'm the funny one, the clumsy one.

I'll always be there....

To bounce ideas off when you need advice.

To say or do funny stuff when you need to laugh.

I'm the trust worthy one.

I'm the loyal one, the reliable one.

I'll pick you up and dust you off when you've been knocked down.

So maybe instead of looking through me, I deserve a second glance....
