'cause you don't say no to Steph (she seems a little scary)

Okay, SAAK has been away for some time (It’s a chore trying to get broad band up and running in bush) and Steph, no, all the relaxation time has not been spent at the cemetery and yes, the ability to draw is progressing (if but marginally) beyond the totally unrecognisable point……… thank you…

But SAAK digresses…. and as with all memes, SAAK forewarns all potential readers that any time wasted reading the following shite will not be reimbursed at the conclusion of the ride ….. you have been warned ….

1. What did you do in 2005 that you hadn't done before?

In 2005 SAAK gave up everything he thought he wanted, a job in the city, a good wage and…. well actually that’s it… but he gave it up

2. Did anyone close to you give birth?

Close, not so sure, a work colleague had his first child… from SAAK’s extraordinarily selfish perspective, this just meant one less person to drink with, but he seems happy, so SAAK is happy for him.

3. Did anyone close to you die?

No, one of the people SAAK went to school with died, but he only heard this on the "grape vine".

4. Did you travel? Where did you go? Best holiday memory?

This probably would not come as a surprise if you knew SAAK, but you don’t, so I’ll tell you that SAAK took his first commercial air flight at the age of 29 during 2005, it was only to Melbourne, but it was a good time. SAAK got to catch up with an old friend, the one he needs to keep his head on straight, that was a highlight.

5. Best thing you bought?

SAAK is not a material person, the best thing he bought was the last beer, but that will be superseded by the next one……

6. Where did most of your money go?

Like Steph, the children (read credit cards) took the majority followed closely by my friend alcamahol.

7. What do you wish you had done more of?

Meet actual people ….. and golf, there is not enough golf

8. What do you wish you had done less of?

Spending time with alone SAAK ….. after a while his "sarcastic wit" really shits you.

9. What kept you sane?

Ahhhh… that’s the problem, the idea was to remain sane … bugger ……. will have to remember that for next time around.

10. What drove you mad?

The absolute monotony of existence …...

11. What made you celebrate?

Packing in the Sydney life ….. (however this occurred just as SAAK was finding out that there are some cool .. albeit nameless, faceless …. and …… well ……virtual people in Sydney after all)

12. What made you sad?

6 pm to 7 am (but for the booze helped).

13. How was your birthday this year?

Pretty good, it was SAAK’s thirtieth and his family, who, by the by, really don’t like the city, came to visit, we all went to dinner and a show …. not bad at all .

14. What political issue stirred you the most this year?

Where ever possible SAAK likes to remain apolitical, having said that … no…… SAAK is going to stick with to apolitical line

15. Where you in love in 2005?

no.

16. What would you like to have in 2006 that you didn't have this year?

A new answer to question 15.

17. What date from 2005 will be etched in your memory and why?

The day SAAK finally decided to get out of dodge.

18. What song will remind you of 2005?

SAAK has somewhat lost touch with the music the kiddies are listening to now’a’days. Hard to find things for the ol’45.

19. Compared to this time last year are you happier?

Only cause SAAK is a little slack with Stehp’s meme, yes….. but had SAAK answered a while ago it would have been a stern, school marmesque, NO.

20. Biggest achievement this year?

Pulling the pin on the city life, not sure how it is going to pan out, but hey, SAAK was not going to survive a moment longer mentally, physically or emotionally in the big bad city.

21. Biggest disappointment this year?

Never getting to meet the Sydney bloggers that became compulsory reading .

22. What is the one thing that would have made you more satisfied?

Meeting one person of SAAK’s volition.

23. Best new person you met this year?

See 22.

24. A valuable life lesson you learnt this year?

If you coast through, yes, you will get through to the end of the ride ……….. that is all

SAAK would tag others but, he will leave it up to the cool kids....


Night night

Good Morning SAAK,

I've noticed your name around the place but haven't got around to visiting until just now. What a shame for me.

You're completely depressed, and you still laugh at yourself about it. I like you a lot. I particularly liked your first post.

Thanks for bothering :)
