High Hopes For The New Year 2019

The clock is ticking and the pendulum is swinging, are you guys ready for a brand new year? Well...ready or not, it will still come and go if you are not doing anything at all to take it by the horns. If you think (and feel) that year 2018 has been a pretty lousy year for you, I am sure you are not alone. That's why you need to make this brand new 2019 count for you. You had to have high hopes for yourself; More importantly you have to expect from yourself. :)

Happy New Year 2019 folks!

Greetings from my Jordan boy and Jasmine girl.

Personally I feel that my 2018 had been pretty terrible in terms of achievements as I honestly could have done more if not for my own procrastination and laziness. Moreover, I had actually allowed myself to indulge way too much for my own liking. My mobile game addiction was so bad that it had robbed me of my waking hours and sleeping hours. Damn! Instead of doing something productive, I ended up wasting my precious time.

Yupe! I will expect more from myself as well.

I have high hopes for myself this year. I am so going to try to be more productive and get rid of anything that is going to drag me down such as gaming and ouh yeah...I have another new bad habit that I had acquired towards the end the year-BINGE WATCHING on Netflix. Though it is not as "debilitating" as playing mobile games, I still think that I must not succumb to my temptations too much. Otherwise I will not be able to do a lot of things that I wanted such as blogging.

The de facto song for me to have High Hopes for year 2019!

So I need to keep reminding myself not to be distracted by the pleasures which will erode me of my senses and of my most precious possession-time. By not playing too much mobile games or being consumed by those addictive TV series and movies on Netflix, I am sure I can focus more on doing the important things in life.  Hence I need to have something to pump me up like a song. And the song which is going to fire me up, keep me on my toes and fire all cylinders will be...HIGH HOPES!

High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision

Always had high, high hopes

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Didn't know how but I always had a feeling

I was gonna be that one in a million

Always had high, high hopes

Mama said

Fulfill the prophecy

Be something greater

Go make a legacy

Manifest destiny

Back in the days

We wanted everything, wanted everything

Mama said

Burn your biographies

Rewrite your history

Light up your wildest dreams

Museum victories, everyday

We wanted everything, wanted everything

Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated

All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision

Always had high, high hopes

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Didn't know how but I always had a feeling

I was gonna be that one in a million

Always had high, high hopes

Mama said

It's uphill for oddities

The stranger crusaders

Ain't ever wannabes

The weird and the novelties

Don't ever change

We wanted everything, wanted everything

Stay up on that rise

Stay up on that rise and never come down

Stay up on that rise

Stay up on that rise and never come down

Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated

All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting

They say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me

So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision

Always had high, high hopes

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Didn't know how but I always had a feeling

I was gonna be that one in a million

Always had high, high hopes

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision

Always had high, high hopes

Had to have high, high hopes for a living

Didn't know how but I always had a feeling

I was gonna be that one in a million

Always had high, high hopes

What about you? Do you want a clean slate for the year 2019? You need not only your New Year's Resolutions but also some motivators right at your rear end to keep you going. You need something breathing down your neck, to remind you not to complacent nor procrastinate. You need your song. High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco sounds just right no? It makes me feel that I can do the impossible...It keeps me "high". :D
