I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
So, its a new year... 2009. Many things are not as I thought they would be if you had asked me 6 months ago where I would be right now. My whole life has changed, not to mention the changes we have seen around here. Sadly, I have just visited FrakkingFrakker's blog and we have also lost a truly amazing and very special friend of mine, John. Ralph was really my first true friend on this site and he has been a huge presence for a long time... he will be sorely missed.
Last year I did a full New Year blog outlining the highs and lows of 2007, the milestones of the year, and what I wanted to achieve in 2008. You never know what life is going to bring and there is no way I could have been prepared for all the experiences of 2008, so this year all I want is to have a year that I can be proud of, where I made more good decisions than bad ones, where I made more friends than enemies, and where I actually achieve something, rather than ran around in circles for another 12 months.
I hope to keep seeing movies, and working on improving my review skills. I'm also going to try to keep up my reviews on here, by writing them as I watch the episodes, and loading them whenever I get a chance to log on to someone's internet. One thing that 2008 has really shown me is just how passionate I am about writing and reviewing films (and tv shows) and that is a positive thing that I want to take with me this year.
I received the first season of HEROES for Christmas and have watched the first 6 episodes. I am very very impressed and can't wait to get through the rest of the show. I find it to be very original and very intriguing, with the story unfolding with plenty of suspense and intrigue. Once I have been through the whole season I will go back and start rewatching to get my thoughts on paper.
Right now I am stuck in a very small country town where we are waiting for flood waters to go down to travel on to our next destination... a fairly funny story really, and not where I expected to be right now! I really do take the long way round...
That's all she wrote.

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
