Goals

I thought I should kick this thing off with a list of things I want to achieve sometime this year. Makes me feel optimistic and all. Awww, warm and fuzzy. I'll start with the big things and then break them down into smaller achievements. How methodic of me.

The big thing I want is for a freaking holiday. I haven't had one in a while. The plan is that once I am mobile and walking and all that stuff, me and the family are going to some tropical resort place. Maybe Cairns, the Whitsundays, Broome even. Some place up north and fairly warm weather. When we usually go on holidays, we travel to a central location and then organise little day trips for the rest of the holidays. So our holiday times are usually quite hectic and busy. But not this time. This time, we intend to sit by a pool or on the beach and just watch the day go by ever so slowly. An then get magotted at night time at the resort's many bars. I intend on spending a pile load of cash on this trip as well and do as many activities as possible. A fishing charter, that parasailing thing where they tow you behind a boat and you wear a parachute. That looks like fun. We will eat at just restauarants and not have to worry about preparing our own food. Oh and I'll bring many a book to make me feel like I'm at least a little bit literate.

Of course to get to this, I have to become mobile. I have to be able to walk. This is the next step. At the moment, I am slowly getting movement back into my legs, but I'm still learning how to sit up on the side of the bed. Even then, I need mum and dads help to sit me up and keep me in the seated position. So before I get to being able to stand up and walk, I have to be able to sit up in bed by myself. I will then have to build my strength up even more so I can lift myself from a seated position to a standing position. How long will this all take is anybodys guess. I'm hoping that in a couple of months time I can go back to this entry and cross this paragraph out and say I can now stand up, but I don't really know how long it will take.

Since I have got another year of no uni (had to defer again), and probably no job (who would hire me in such a state?) I'm going to have to find some things to occupy myself for the year. Im thinking of taking up kayaking or something for that reason. So again, once Im mobile and I can get up and around the place, I think I shall be investing in some kind of kayak or something that I can paddle around on a lake. Oh, and do lots of fishing.

These are just some of my goals and ambitions of things I want to achieve this year. Here's hoping I get a break and some of them come my way. Mainly the holiday please.

The Story so far

Hello there. My name is Jawn. Well, thats my super not-so secret "screen name" that all the cool kids have. Don't you know its way lame to use your real name in the magical world of the Internets. Its more fun to pretend you are somebody you aren't.

I decided to start up this blog because I am bored. Very bored. And I'm confined to a bed in my loungeroom of my parent's house 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I wish I could say it is for some whacky zany political activisit thing like when John Lennon and Yoko Ono did that bed in, but the truth is I'm suffering from something called steroid induced myopethy. Well, I think thats how you spell it. Basically, I'm temporarily paralysed and have limited movement. Which means I spend a lot of time lying on my back.

This blog is going to consist of my hopefully daily rantings and ravings and observations of the world around me, from the perspective of my bed in the lounge room. I don't really know what your going to find on here, but I'll try to keep this bastard thing updated with as much gibberish as possible. Hopefully, this blog has a severley limited life span because as soon as Im outta this bed, the blog stops. Here's hoping that tomorrow is the last day of this blog's life.

Have fun, ask questions, comment, post opinions, do what you want. I'm just gonna waffle on like a senile old person.
