Word: Twenty fourteen
Pronunciation: [/twɛnti: fɔːˈtiːn/]
Noun
1. Steven Spielberg movie about cats attempting to reclaim
planet earth from Zodiac forces who wiped out all life form (except cats -
Zodiac forces’ best friend) by locking all the oxygen inside flying grapefruit
2. Heavy Metal band lead by front-man Slevin de Banana
3. Year we are apparently in (well everyone else except for me)
I am struggling to get
into the swing of this year purely because of its name.
Twe-n-ty-four-teen….
sounds so futuristic to me, it feels as though I still have 200 more days before
I need to start thinking about new year’s resolutions.
The worst part of it for
me is that my birthday is so early in the year that I can’t afford to be in
this zone of non-acceptance. You see, unfortunately us ‘Jan-Worry babies‘ need
to hit the ground running beginning of each year in order to catch up with our
age, else we spend the entire year using fingers to back-calculate how old
we are.
So, to overcome my zone
of non-acceptance, I am making it a point to greet everyone with that ‘Compliments of the new season [insert cheesy grin and
flimsy handshake here]’ twang just to remind myself where I am. So far I am not
sure if it’s working or not, but in the name of ‘acceptance is the first step
to healing’ I will keep doing it. Disclaimer: Forgive me if we hit April 24th and I am still complimenting you on said new season.
Alas, 2014 (like Philip)
is here, and we should try making the best of it. So I thought I should share a
few do’s and don’ts that may come in handy if you, like me, are struggling to
find yourself a game plan for this year.
Do:
- Try a
French toast and Strawberry Jam sandwich, it will change your life and teach
you the concept of Perfect mismatches
- Try to
love your neighbour more than you love yourself
- Smile a
little more
Don’t:
- Sweat
the small and medium stuff e.g. mosquito bites, bad dates and
- Deny
that it’s 2014 and that you will get a few more wrinkles
- Ask me
why I even thought it ideal to write a blog about this non-topic
- Stop reading blogs about non-topics
Happy reading stars and starlets :) :) :)
