You see, yes, the world is screwed, yes, we're in economic crisis, yes, Miley Cyrus is annoying, but I can't help to feel so excited and expectant of this decade. So much will be happening in the next ten years and I can barely comprehend the things we will all do, the places we will go, the people we will meet. Chances are, most of my friends will be married, parents perhaps, and the world will be a very different place, but I'm no longer worried about it. I once was (see The Future blog), but I've come to realise that we all grow up, and age brings about new things, more amazing things for us to plunder. And plunder we will.
I don't have a New Years Resolution, as I never fulfill them (2007: Exercise. 2008: Get a sixpack. 2009: Get a girlfriend. Anyone who knows me, knows none of these saw fruition) so instead I have a single goal: To go crazy on the next ten years. Which I will. And I encourage all of you too as well. Lets make the next ten years the greatest, most exciting ten years the world has ever seen.
Lets take hold of everyday and make the most of it, meet new people, see the world, make our dreams into realities. 2010 is the beginning of an awesome decade.
I'm not actually sure why I'm in such a good mood, it may be the dangerous combination of Michael Buble, sunny weather, film school acceptance and strawberry milk (take that lactose intolerance!) but I'm hoping its contagious.
In other news, Nine comes out in two days and there are SO many amazing films coming out this year! Check out Salt, Angelina's latest spy/awesomeness film.
Matthew Vaughn's Kick Ass, about a boy superhero (not shown - that's a girl everyone.)
Iron Man 2! Even better is the fact that Scarlet Johansson is playing Black Widow, the meanest German ever.
Also The Road, based on the amazing book, starring Aragorn and a cast of cannibals!
Other films to watch out for include Michael Gondry's The Green Hornet, Inception, The Men Who Stare At Goats, Narnia; Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Prince of Persia and Alice in Wonderland. I'm sure I will vomit these all back up in later blogs, reviews and all, so be prepared.
Also, today's Badass Babe Award goes to Penelope Cruz. But why I hear you asking? Probably because she is one of the hottest women alive, she can sing (see Nine) and she makes out with Johansson like a natural (see Vicki Christina Barcelona). Please note: You are not a pervert if this picture holds your gaze for more then five seconds. Right?
Remember, the next ten years are going to top them all. Adios amigos.
