The Man with No Time

After my post looking back at 2012 , it’s time to look towards the future. As I’ve done for the last few years I’m going to set myself some goals to work towards for the year. Not resolutions as such, but guidelines to help me structure my time a bit. My goals will be split into several categories, and are shaped by how close I got to similar goals in previous years.

The end of the year is nigh! Like most of the blogosphere, I’m going to mark the occasion by taking a look back at the year that’s ending. 2012 has been a pretty good year for me all told, but how well did I meet my aims and goals for the year? Spoiler Alert: I missed a lot of my targets for 2012.

It’s the end of the year 2012? Well, almost. Over the next few days I’m going to be writing a series of posts based around reviewing the year that’s gone, and looking ahead to 2013. To start it off, I’ll be using a meme that my friend James has posted every year. It’s a set of questions designed to test your recollective powers. Or at least that’s how it felt! I rather liked this image. Quite appropriate. (Credit: liveoutload.com)

The London 2012 summer Olympics have finished after two weeks of top quality sport. It’s a sad moment, as I’ve really enjoyed this Olympics. More so than Beijing, but I suspect that that’s in a large part down to the fact that I was in the right timezone, and could actually watch the events, rather than just the round-up shows every day. I’ve discovered a couple of new sports along the way, and want to share some of my thoughts on the event as a whole.   The official logo is still pants. This one is much better.

The Olympics are here! Hurrah!   Every four years (ok, every two years if you include the winter Olympics), I get very excited about a whole bunch of sports to which I normally pay very little attention. The Olympics are, to me, a wonderful celebration of sporting achievement, and the chance for many sports to showcase themselves before a much larger audience than they would normally receive. The competition is of the utmost quality, and there are always moments of high drama. Because the real logo looks too stupid......(Credi: economicshelp.org)
