Lost a Girl is the first track to be released from New Young Pony Club’s upcoming album The Optimist. It’s a good track, but has nothing on the wonderful sounds of Fantastic Playroom. Pity.

I cleared the iTunes Library (that is, I put all the songs on the backup disk) to make room for new music. I’m thinking of posting more tracks. And I started working on a new theme.

A couple of days ago I remarked that New Year’s resolutions are ridiculous. Change has to start right away - the idea of the ‘clean start’ tends to keep you from beginning, and also allows for circumstances to play a bigger role than they should. In the end, new year’s resolutions mostly serve to maintain the belief in change, while continuing in the same ole patterns.
So without further ado, here are the plans I’ve made for this year, and the principles I intend to pursue:
- Be more like Bear Grylls. This was a joke that quickly became a good aim. Grylls worries minimally, takes risks and focuses only on finding the solution.
- Routine, discipline and setting a high bar will work only to help me.
- Me and my inner strivings are my higher purpose, and responsibility toward this the most important thing.
- Among the skills that I will develop are (still) designing and coding.
- Establishing authenticity is a higher priority than ever.
We’ll see if any of this means more blogging.
I wish someone in their right to do so would tell me, “you’re still young, you’ll understand more when you get older.”
Last transfer: in an hour I’ll be in Skellefte. I’m happy for the dark, I don’t want to see how small Bastuträsk is. Bet it’s a hellhole.
“Oh my god, what happened to your hand?” “I tried to fit my fist in my mouth, and I did it, but then my jaw locked and I panicked.”
