Happy New Year, and all that Good Shit.

Well hello there. Hows everyone been??

I am not big on New Year’s resolutions, but have decided on one to stick to for 2015: A blog post a day, every day of 2015. Given that my last post was in January of last year, I think this qualifies as a “challenge”.
As I write this, I have under an hour until the end of the 1st of January and – if I don’t post this – the sad, swift and somewhat expected failure of this lone resolution.

All this to say that I have to hurry the hell up, so please excuse the brevity.

So, in no particular order, here are the top things that have happened since I last posted:

1.       Earth has made its way around our Sun 338 times. That’s a lot of effort on Earth’s part, and makes my absence from writing even a single post that much more inexcusable.

2.       I went back to work. After 8 months of a carefree utopian existence looking for my next gig, I took a role in Brighton, England of all places. It is a bitch of a commute but, as a town goes, its pretty cool. For my Texas readers, it is basically the UK’s version of Austin, Texas. Or rather, what imagine Austin was like without the traffic. Music, dudes drawing on sidewalks, great grub, a 1:1 citizen to panhandler ratio. It is truly Austin’s sister city. I’ll be telling more about that in the days to come.

3.       Mexican Food has arrived. Between Cardiff and Brighton, I now have no less than 5 places to get a taco fix (and then some), thus proving that prayer works.

4.       Cardiff Food Scene. One word: BOOM. Burger places, BBQ, Mexican, etc etc. I have no idea what’s going but foodies of Cardiff will look back on this as the Big Bang of Cardiff grub.

5.       Got Engaged. That’s right folks, coming to a theatre near you “Meathead Gets Hitched Part II. This Time, He’s Serious”….I kid, of course. Short story:  After having to put Miss Meathead on a plane by herself to Croatia because I forgot my passport, she greeted me in Dubrovnik with a kiss and a smile. This girl is a keeper.

See y’all tomorrow.


Meathead.

P.S Yes, I know its officially 4 minutes into January 2nd, but its still January 1st somewhere in the world so THERE.
