New Year's Eve

"To live is the rarest thing in the world most people exist that is all" Oscar Wilde

It is finally here! The end of 2011 has dawned on us... Now many of us will be spending the day working, and anticipating the evening when we will gather with our loved ones and celebrate the end of a phenomenal year! Some of us will even be anticipating a hard-core party and some large quantity of alcohol to be thrown in our direction! I will be anxiously awaiting a night of fireworks and a good lengthy phone call with my family! But what matters what you expect of today if you lack the capacity to reflect on the year that has just passed?
2011 has certainly been eventful! I'd like to just comment on my family's strength for overcoming a lot of the crappy stuff that has happened to us this year and that we are still fighting right now, to all of you! May 2012 be a happier easier and healthier year for you all, I love you and I will see you all at some point this year. 
Enough with the sad sap stuff! Have you noticed the quote at the top of this post?! Wilde... a genius! Wrote some amazing plays and novels, a flamboyant man very much involved in the aesthetic movement! Frowned upon by many of his contemporaries and politicians of the time, yet he was observant enough to notice that in his provocative lifestyle - target of many tabloid articles -  he did what everyone truly envied him for: HE LIVED! Wilde lived his life in his own terms and in his own right, and I respect him for that! A wonderful talent and with a philosophy that the world should embrace!
Taking Wilde's inspirational words, this year I aim to Conquer My Life. I have lived very well so far, and made the most of my life so far, but sometimes I could have risked a bit more. This year I will at least try to take control of my life in my own way! I will go Wild[e] and make a fool of myself whilst I'm still young. You only live once! So don't just exist. LIVE.

Happy New Year everyone. May 2012 be your year.
