Past: Tense

Well, another year over, so lets have a look back and see what, if anything, we've achieved over the past 12 months.

Successes

Started TiaPL
Didn't die
Won Nicola's Shoe
Completed Tony Hawks 3 on the X-Box
Didn't murder anyone
Crossed the road on a number of occasions without getting knocked down, despite the Green Cross Code Man being notable by his absence
Bought Siobhan Donaghy's album
Won a pub quiz a few times
Had a letter printed in the NME
Was not involved in any way, shape or form with RI:SE
Washed daily

So, looking at that list it looks like the year was quite upbeat, but let's look at the list of failures for the year.

Failures

Started TiaPL
Failed to crack the human genome
Failed to discover a cure for AIDS
Failed to discover a cure for any illness, even the minor ones
Failed to encourage anyone else to by the Siobhan Donaghy album
Failed to bring about social change via the medium of interpretive dance
Was a member of One True Voice
Saw an episode of 2 Pints of lager and a Packet of Crisps Please
Watched helplessly as the world turned to rack and ruin in the hands of power mad governments
Enjoyed the debut single from Tommi

With all the above weighing down heavily on the negative side of the good/bad see-saw, this year can be summarised as being a bit poor. Hopefully next year we'll manage to avoid being in piss-poor boy bands and will discover something of scientific importance. Or at least get a decent job.

Happy New Year, everybody
