NYE 2018

Every year on New Years Eve I take a selfie and write a few notes out to social media world. Figured you could read them too :)

In 2018 I got a new hat...

I got to be a Dad to a new little girl

I got to love my boys who are my world

I got to love my wife

I got some time to ride my bike

I quit a job that killed me

I got a job that thrilled me

I met new people, and reconnected with old

I cried for the news I was told

I got to try, only to fail

I got to blaze my own trail

I got the chance to be a has been

Like I might have been in 2017

But 2018 got me right between the eyes

It raised me up and cut me down to size

But after all is said and done and we know that's that

In 2018 I got a new hat

NYE 2017

Every year on New Years Eve I take a selfie and write a few notes out to social media world. Figured you could read them too :)

Hey 2017, unlike all the people giving you a heap of shit, I actually had a pretty amazing year: -Welcomed my beautiful niece, Iluka, into the world - Made redundant, got a better job - Miles smashed kinder - James pedalled his first bike - I took up a new sport, and I don't think I can put it down! - I met: Shane Pearce Craig Moorey Alex Ferguson Malory Jayne Matthew Hyland Nico Robertson Luke Barlow Andrew Barlow Simon Wallis Angus Faull Harrison Kulinski Graeme Coutts Lachlan Fry Cass Trent Johnston Travis Leigh Imogene van der Hulst and a ridiculous cast of people that make up the mountain bike scene in Ballarat. Awesome people that have encouraged me to fall over and over - and filmed it! -Reaffirmed just how much I love Sarah Donohue - she puts up with a lot of bikes in the lounge room! -Wrote a bunch of songs that may or may not see the light of day -Finally admitted that my attempt at a moustache will never join forces with my attempt at a beard.

Basically, shit happens, but I'm so happy to be above ground and surrounded by the best people on Earth

Cheers

P.S. New Years Eve selfies are hard!!!

I almost got wrapped up - but Daniel Brooks photography is amazing! If you don't know it, well I've tagged him so get clicking!
