Здравствуйте Товарищи!

(That's "Hello Comrades!" for all you fatcats out there)

Here's hoping that you all had a wonderful state approved festive season!

And also a satisfactorily, state approved chri- Whoops! Musn't say that "C" word eh? - "Winterfest"

But all that political buggery aside, I really do hope you all had a decent christmas, in my eyes it's the best part of the year. No school or work, pretty lights, warm fires, extra effort not to argue with the sister (on her part of course) and STUFF. Stuff which is generally at no expense to me.

Hoorah.

And now, to the bulk, the body, the proverbial main course of this little Blog fricassée.

Montages.

That's right brothers, the montage, a classic cinematic device over a which a (generally great) passage of time occurs, aiding in plot and character development. Aren't they wonderful? Those little montages, filled with all that sweet montage-y goodness, don't you just wish that YOU could do it too? Skip all that bad crap that happens, and get straight to the rewards and glory.

Why, I can see it now, The Montage-o-matic from Skip The Bad Stuff ltd. Just put one fuel product in oversized fuel-hole (Coca-Cola brand Baby Souls recommended, now with extra fizz!) pull the lever and off we go, skipping important life sufferings, trials, tribulations, nights out with "The Lads" resulting in sickness due to the ingestion of a cola-brand baby soul after a few too many with said "Lads" and getting straight onto the cash and prime-time channel 4 docu-soap gained after sueing cola because of your dumb ass being talked into eating that one pesky soul!

Well...unfortunately for us all, I'm not about to say "Picture it no longer!", or spout out some other condescending, asinine bullshit, spewed out by the media to the masses like blood to the vampires in the oh so memorable "Baby Boom" period.

No, I'm not going to say it, because it's not happened yet. I don't know if it ever will, but as far as I'm aware (And oh boy...am I ever aware) it hasn't happened yet. And you know, maybe that's a good thing. After all, what has Adam Sandler in the feature film Click taught us if not that skipping sections of your life can be hazardous to your health? It can cause all manner of complications! Heart attacks, divorces, bankruptcy and if "The Lads" are involved, probably far too many ill-advised curries and gastrofantazmally-onomical amounts of alcohol. And hey, you could also accidentally sell your soul I guess. Maybe.

I hear Cola are looking for a new angle after your little court case.

But why am I saying all this, after all, reading back it seems a little directionless so far, I started with Russian and have degraded into a thinly veiled anti-The Man speech.

Ok, maybe not SO directionless.

Well I'll tell you why I'm writing this. And brace yourself, there's no comforting satire or cosy, let's all sit by the fire wit here. No, this place is barren of such things.

I'm afraid.

That's right, I'm afraid, it's almost 2007 and in the past month or so I've had a myriad of options thrust upon me. New friends and family, old friendships turning sour, threats, angst, help. Just lots and lots of options.

The main concern is college. And sure, I've people telling me it's nothing to worry about, and that's it's just another step. But it's not. It really is a big deal, and when your stuck in a situation like mine (Which I'm not going to talk about, it's about family and I don't want this post to become TOO emo) then making the "wrong" choice as it were potentially has dire consequences.

DIRE.

And so I'll leave it there, just a little taste of how I'm feeling, and hopefully a lesson not to always be wishing things away, or watching Rocky.

After all, if Rocky has taught me one thing. It's that montages fix EVERYTHING.
