204/365 # Optimistic
Weird thing - I'm not feeling the post-Christmas mood swing that so often happens. I find myself really upbeat and looking forward to next year.
Now I've got all that bullshit about turning 30 out of my head and done with I feel a lot more free . . . if you know what I mean? It's like it's been hanging over me the last couple of years, sad I know but it's true, but since I crossed the threshold between decades it's like I don't have to worry about it anymore. And that's cool.
I may be growing older, but it doesn't mean I have to grow up right?
And there's other things too - so much is going to happen next year. We're going to have another baby, both mine and Lydia's jobs will be changing as our department is restructuring . . . that sounds bad but I could just as easily come out of it with a better job. It's a bit complicated, but I'm looking on the bright side.
I've found a new hobby I really enjoy (photography, dur) and I can only improve the longer I'm at it.
And I've got an iPod. I didn't want one for years, now I've got one I can't imagine ever being apart from it. Even iTunes is growing on me. I spent a couple of hours yesterday copying and pasting album covers onto my iPod so I could use Coverflow and it was worth every damn second. And I found some games, including a music quiz that bases it's questions on the music you have on your iPod! I can't tell you how cool that is.
So this shot is meant to be me looking all optimistic towards the future . . . in reality it's me clutching at straws for an idea and staring out the window, ha ha! Still, the setting sun had a kinda nice effect on the wall behind me, and with a bit of tweaking in Lightroom and a couple of textures it looks alright.
Couldn't think of a way to get my iPod in shot though. Humph.
